AVBOB - HEAD OFFICE Complaints

Thuli at Springs branch promised us a 5% discount upon payment of the full amount for funeral services
When asked about it she says her manager decided not to pay the discount back to us because the payment was done in Thuli's absence, another consultant took our payment and thats the reason we forfeited the discount
She started dodging calls & later asked if I can send her my CV & she can try & get me a job at Avbob
This is unprofessional and the discount has still not been paid to us for reasons beyond my understanding.

I would like to cancel all my policies with Avbob. The lies about being eligible to receive change from the funeral are really uncalled for. I have been paying Avbob religiously without fail, and I was promised change by the lady handling my claim only to find out that I will be sent on a wild goose chase. My family and I will never use Avbob services again after this and I am willing to tell anybody who is interested to listen about the treatment I got from this company. Worst part is to be made to feel like a fool by Avbob employees. My ID number is 8801080666087.

My name is Mlahleni Isaac Mbithamkhono with an id number of 7812155513089, and contact number of 084 783 5212, I suppose to get a refund from Avbob, and I have submitted all the requested documents last month but till now they keep on saying it is being processed.

I'm Nondumiso Grace Sibiya on 2021-04-16 I visited Avbob Bridge to lay a complaint of fraud, I was told to come back with affidavit, on the 2021-04-18 I went again to Avbob bridge city with an affidavit an I fill an Avbob form of refund and they told me to wait for call up until now I've didn't receive a call,and my salary advice of this month money if deducted, I want my money back, because I don't have a funeral policy or any policy with Avbob.

For a number of months now avbob has been deducting money directly from my salary. I'm a teacher in Durban employed by the KZN department of basic education. I have never signed any policy with avbob since I was born. I don't even know the beneficiaries in this policy. I'm aware that I'm not the only one having this problem. There seem to be many of us. Under the current economic conditions with no prospects of getting a salary increase from government this fraud committed by avbob has really worsened my financial situation. I demand that these deductions stops with immediate effect and whatever money that has been unlawfully stolen from my salary be paid back with immediate effect including its interest. I'm prepared to take legal action against avbob if this matter is not addressed with the urgency it deserves. I'm tired of this and I want it to stop.This matter will also be exposed in the media since it affects too many of us.

I'm Msawenkosi Raymond sigaba I'd no 7907285565080.Since 2015 I have a funeral policy with Avbob, I was very humiliated with disgraced claim they paid me when my mom passed away and as I also covered her I put my claim in of R25000 cover and they paid me R20600 when I called them asking why they made a short payment, answer was they don't see a reason for the short payment on their system and it ends like that. I request your intervention Hello Peter to help me get my R4400 that these people robbed me with a senseless reason I every disappointed with their behaviour.

I put a claim of my brother Zola Nicholas Gagela he died of unnatural cause but was not paid double but when i joined i was told if its unnatural cause payment is double

Promised to receive payment on the 1st of March 2020,nothing paid. emails and telephones sent to Michael Mzozo, copied to Charlene Williams not answered.

My father died on the 15th of January 2021 and started claim process in early February 2022. What a wait?

What a bad company. All dead woods should be fired.

I just noticed monthly debits of R67.00. I went to Hazyview Branch on 17 February 2021 at 13:30 for verification, and was informed that the employee, S. Makamu, working at Acornhoek branch processed the transaction (Policy No.AL6172290X1). I view this conduct fraudulent and unconscionable. I was informed by the Hazyview Branch,that refunds would only be processed by head office. I hope this matter would be treated with the urgency it deserves, for this conduct and/or practices has potential to affecting or causing harm to many vulnerable consumers. Your reputation can't be compromised by few rotten apples.

Poor customer service, branch manager resigned, consultant used incorrect policy ( we had 2 policies)seemed like he didn't quite know what he was doing, and was thrown in at the deep end, waited on response from him, waited in the reception area for 2 hours (while ashes were put into the little coffin and name plate put on), after being called to collect ashes

My father passed on the 5th January i contacted avbob headoffice 06 January 2021 then went to Rustenburg branch to verify the claim on the 07 January 2021 and also to arrange the date for burial which was the 10th of January 2021 on 08th i called Avbob Rustenburg for confirmation of burial,theres the lady who answered the phone then i introduced myself over the phone but that lady said to me we wont bury my father on the 10th because one of their employees tested positive covid the office is closed,we as the family will have to bury my father next week,lady was very rude,then i asked her to reffer me to the manager Mr Motlhabane then he said he Will see what he can do then i drove to Avbob Rustenburg office so that we can talk bilateral because i was not happy then he said we must not worry the burial of our father will continue,then a day before a burial around 17h40 Mr Motlhabane phoned to say we need to deposit the sum of R7000.00 we feel that he failed to call us in time early because if we didn't have such amount a that time we would have to settle for less that was bad,on the day of a burial there was no grave mark and programs for service,on 16 January 2021 avbob Rustenburg office called to say they re bringing the grave mark when only to find that the birth date and the names of my faher were wrong until to day my father's grave has no grave mark!Please assist i am not happy at all and lastly i would like to have a statement

Well I did a claim on the 21st of December but we didn't get cash back yet as the consultant told us that the waiting period is 48 hours bt even today we didn't get any response from them and they didn't bring the flowers during the day of the funeral and photo of the deceased

In 2018 I insured my grandpa but you declined my claim because my policy was in areas and I paid those areas before I submit claim to avoid penalties

NB Policy Status was Active

I send an email on the 11th and 18th of May 2020 regarding a client of mine that passed away. Up to now nothing happened and no one came back to me. Just a return mail that my email was received and that someone will be taken care off it.
What type of service is this. The client was a member since 1 May 1965!

used the sms advert on TV, gave all my information and was told i would recieve documentation and the policy would start 1 Aug 2019, no documents received nor has the policy started.

why take all the information if you are not willing to give me a policy??
