Standard Bank Burial Policy

Its a sad state of affairs that after been paid out as a beneficiary for a funeral policy and now needing proof to take a matter to the High Court, STANDARD BANK cannot give me a copy or written proof that I was beneficiary. They claiim to delete a beneficiaries details once the polocy has been paid out . I fail to believe this, as all businesses would need to keep records for SARS. My last four months of dealings with Standard Bank has not been a pleasant journey and know now where to not apply for future bonds. For two days I have been shunted from pillar to post without results and then get sent an email to me in the deceased name and not my own name been the beneficiary. The deceased policy on the email was also blank. We pay enough for services but without results!

Reviewer Update
I would like to know how my problem is going to be resolved as an apology does not resolve my problem with the answers I am getting from your staff. Another example of the service I received from your bank manager at the Woodbridge branch not knowing all bank services or products was when I needed a police report and the manager (Estelle) did not know that STANDARD BANK provides a form for the police to complete and stamp for the burial policy to be paid out. In order for me to accept an apology I would need my complaints to be adressed. I am still awaiting a copy of the claim that was paid out to myself as there is an ongoing investigation into the death of the policy holder and urgently require the mentioned to take to the HIGH COURT.
