Cancellation of the account

Hello Peter,

Note before i even considering publicly complaining about the service with truworths, there were numerous attempts in getting the ISSUE resolved.

here is the story:

I had/have an account with truworths, somewhat i'm signed up with a policy called "Trulife" so with this policy you pay an additional R100 monthly to the balance you pay on the Truworths account, so two months back i had an outstanding balance of R514, i went to the store and settled the balance, after two months i received a text message stating that i due to pay around R250 before the account goes into arrears, with numerous threats from Truworths, i eventually paid it off and requested that the account and services to be cancelled, which i was assured of as i left one of the stores, a couple of weeks after, i received another "statement" that requests that i pay R104.98 which is due on the second of September. I emailed services@truworths, in a nutshell i was redirected and to liaise with hollard, when i visit a hollard page, to get any details of the "policy", there is no active policy aligned with the details provided i.e. My identification number

1. one of the questions in mind that i had and have, if i have a policy, which policy ever goes into arrears because with policies, if there's no payment after a certain period, it lapses,

2. I've never received any Policy number

3. If a policy is linked to an account, when cancelling an account shouldn't all the services, subscriptions fall off.

Thank you for your post.

The service described in your post is not in line with the high service standards we strive to offer our customers.

We can verify that Truworths insurance policies are underwritten by Hollard Life Assurance Company Limited and administered by Hollard Life.

We established that a cancelation was processed by Trulife on 01 September 2017, once the payment has been made for the previous month of August we will process the closure of your account as requested.

The Trulife policy however is not linked to your account. It is a life policy taken out for you and your family and is paid via your account so it would not automatically cancel nor would we have the right to cancel it on your behalf.

Following our telephonic conversation, we confirm that we have informed you of this and once again sincerely apologies for any inconvenience or frustration caused as a result of this matter.

We hope to see you in stores.

Yours sincerely,

Truworths Online Team
