very disapointed

Ever since Tuesday the 8th Jan everyday up until Friday 12th Jan I have sent the documents my mother has been struggling to get feedback since 2016 she first applied at the Cape Town and had to submit her documents twice, after that I offered to scan and send everything via email straight to JHB thinking it would be a help as she does not have access to email or fax so I as her daughter have to assist by sending these documents on her behalf I also send the documents earlier in 2017 my mother was never told that her id must be certified and signed according to the agent it was said that all the documents were received and my mother should just wait on a call, my mother has been going into the Cape Town every month and no proper feedback was given, my mother has been calling for the past few months and they said they needed a signed and certified copy of her id which I emailed once again along with everything else then my mother calls back to find out if the id was received and then they tell her that my dad’s id must be sent and signed instead of giving all the information at once they keep waiting for my mother to call back. My mother was told by Friday 12th 2018 she must call back and that her documents would be updated on the system, when she does call agents are telling her they can’t see the documents after myself as the daughter sent it 4 days in a row and prior to that since 2016 emails were sent by me, all of the documents have been submitted,
death cert.
marriage cert.
proof of emp.
proof of address
moms id certified and signed four times
dads id certified.
banking details
letter of authority

5701275114088-deceased. i have been sending emails since 2016 and my mother has been querying about this for almost two years

PENSION FUND

My husband send in an application for his pension fund in July.We had to send in several forms,documents and affidavits which they didn't want in Afrikaans.We specifically stated on the affidavit which bank we wanted the money to be paid in but according to the lady that handled our application there was another bank she saw on her system and we had to fill in a bank mandate form to state that we wanted the money to be paid in that other account.My husband told her that other account is an old one and that his salary was paid in every month in the FNB account but she didn't want to use that one.She also promised to keep us updated but to no avail cause every time we had to make numerous calls to her.I phoned the supervisor who told me that application was approved twice already but because of my husband changing his banking details the money could not be paid in.Now we have to fill in another affidavit stating that the other bank accounts is faulty and we want to use the FNB account of which we had done in the first place.Its December and we cant make any plans or buy food and clothes for our children.Money was deducted every month from my husbands salary and now we have to struggle to get it.We are really very disappointed in Mibfa because we made loans and have to pay school registration money for our kids now we cant

PENSION FUND PAY OUT

My husband applied for his pension money in July.We had to post several documents,affidavits and statements.They didn't even want the affidavit in Afrikaans.We also couldn't fax through the forms and statements but had to post it to them.The lady working with the application keep telling us that she will get back to us but to no avail.We had to make plan to contact them ourselves.She also chose in which bank account my husbands pension fund should be paid into which is prolonging everything.We had to post a bank mandate form together with a statement and id copy because she don't want the money to paid in where my husbands salary was paid into every month.Her system showed that there were 2 other bank accounts in his name.Now we have to send another affidavit with a copy of his id stating that the other 2 accounts is faulty and not in use.I spoke to the supervisor which said that the application was approved twice already but because my husband changed his bank account they couldn't pay in the money.Its now December and we had to make a lot of debt to go on and cant even make olans for Christmas because we don't have money.People choose wisely who you want to invest your money or provident fund with.Every month their debit order went off but now that its time to pay out its a problem

Provident Fund Claim

Good day,

Could someone please assist me with my provident fund claim?

I have submitted my documents and every time I call 0860 10 25 44 the only response I get is that my claim has not yet been submitted and that I should call back in 2 weeks time to follow up. I have been cut off a few times when asked to hold so that they can check the status of my claim.

It has been almost 3 months now since my document were hand delivered via courier to MIBFA and in this 3 months my claim hasn't even been submitted.

Some people rely on these funds to provide for their families and keep them going until they find a new job and when MIBFA get contacted the call centre agents aren't of much help and if you don't get cut off then you get the same answer every time and it seems that your claim is lying there and nothing is being done to get it processed and submitted.

Could someone please assist with my claim or at least give me an indication as to when I would receive my funds.

Regards
Tanya Sill

Incompetent staff

To Whom it may concern
I want to know how it can take a huge outfit like MIBFA 18 months to sort out a claim. Is it because incompetent nepotism is in control or is there another hidden agenda? You can phone MIBFA regarding your surplus claim and ask to speak to any other department except the call centre and your request is blatantly ignored. Surely someone in control must know what's going on? After all the money I am claiming is my money I worked for and was deducted from my salary weekly for all my years of service plus the companies I worked for contributions. Are my monies being used to fund some organisation or some crooks pocket ? Can some one not from the call centre reply to my mail.

Sick Pay Fund

My spouse was diagnosed with Bone Marrow Cancer and underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant in June 17, he has to be in isolation for 6 months after procedure. When he was admitted prior to the transplant i made enquiries to the company and the sick pay fund to find out how much he would receive whilst off, they both confirmed with me that he would be paid 50% of his current salary. Much to my disappointment the company had only been paying R11.23 per month instead of 0.09% of his salary. So instead of him receiving 50% of his salary he received less than a 1/3rd, i called Sick Pay Fund and they said the company had been paying over the incorect contribution thus he only would only receive a small portion of his salary. I then confronted the company and they said the Sick Pay Fund had not advised them of how much they had to pay even though it is stated in the rules of the SIck Pay Fund. I have approached the Sick Pay Fund, the company and the Bargaining Coucil, and i am so disappointed that no-one is willing to help me regarding the shortpayments. It is shocking that members are not aware that companies can pay what they want and there is nothing that members can do. I checked the % of the provident fund payment as well and that is also short, so if he is put on disability he will also be shortpaid due to shortpayment from company. In my opinion it is due to neglegence of the company that this has happend and the only people that are ging to suffer are the members. It is SHOCKING THAT NO-ONE CARES!!!

Surplus Benefit Statement

My father passed away over four years ago, before he passed on he had applied for surplus and each time he enquired we was given the same response that he should check his mail as the statement has been submitted via post, to date nothing came forth, sadly he passed on without receiving anything. in 2014 my mother applied to the fund as the beneficiary, she also has been send from pillar to post, each time she enquires the same response is being provided that the actuaries are generating the benefit statement, but can it really take three years just to generate a benefit statement, i am really disappointed with their service.

Provident Fund Payout

I am so disappointed, I need to be assisted.

I applied for my provident fund on the 4th of August 2017 and till to this day (26th September 2017) I haven't received my pay out.

When I call the MIBFA call centre, I am answered by incompetent call centre agents who are not willing to assist me.I am told my claim was only opened on the 17th of August which was 2 weeks after I submitted my docs.

Its been 8 weeks since I was at MIBFA and I still haven't received not money.

I am a father with kids in school and have rent, school fees to pay. I am unemployed and need my money.

MIBFA doesn't care. Why is it that I have to fight for my money, it is mine and in need it.

Call centre agents are so rude and put the phone down in my ears when talking to them. All I want is my money. I will be home less this month end if I don't pay rent. Its mine can I have it please I need my money please.

Pay out and balance

I want to start off by stating that the staff at MIBFA is not helpful at all, at this is my journey with them:
•Received a letter in the post a few times stating about funds in a pension fund, I chose to ignore it until now.
•Contacted the call centre on 011 870 2000, and queried this with the staff member. The staff member become irritated with me asking the questions and advised me that only an individual that is retired receives a pension card. Guess what I have one and I am only 34.
•Spoke to a second individual and I was advised that there is funds for me, I questioned the value and I was advised that I should log on to the web.
•I did this and the site requested a user and password, I had to call again for the requirement. The individual assisted me with this.
•Guess what, the information did not work. Had to call again, the lady that assisted became very rude and asked me for my user ID and password. I advised her that what individual in their right mind will ask a client this. She advised me that if I give my ID number to her she will access my information, so what is the difference.
•I dropped the phone due to the attitude, and called the following number 011 870 2251. The gentleman that answered the phone stipulated that he could not assist me (but on the web it does stipulate the following Pension fund and the contact details).
•He then placed me back to the call centre, the lady (Emily) was nice this time. I was then told that there is no funds, I advised the lady that I called a few times and they stipulated that there is, so I am a bit confused. She had assistance from her superior and stipulated that there is fund, I asked the value and she advised that she cannot tell me.
•She then send me an application form to be completed and submitted.
•Anderson street submission: this is a complete different story (pillar to post), but finally submitted.
•With some Google search I found the following mails: 'Sinclair Skhosana' <[email protected], '[email protected]'.
•The lady was helping a bit, but at the end the same results. No help.
•She advised me that I should submit new documents at 80 Marshall
I would like to get hold of the CEO contact details.

Provident fund claim

Good day.

I was assisted by Fakile on the 9 th of June 2017. We made sure all paper work was in order. After 2 weeks on the 23 of June 2017 it was only on the system. Now 7 weeks later after 2 Urgent claim equiries ( of whitch nobody has ever phoned back) we are told phone in 2 weeks again. First of all why say 14 to 21 working days if its not true. Everytime we phone they say theres no problem but still nothing happens.

What is going on????

Please email or contact me.

Proof of residence problems

To whom it may concern
I'm i n a real predicament as I have submitted an application for provident fund withdrawal of funds, I was told to return in eight weeks which I did,only to be told that they need a proof of residence. No problem. My problem is that,the person whom we are leasing the house from is working overseas and I was informed that I need a certified copy of their ID and a municipal statement. What I need to ask is,is there any other alternative cause that is impossible. Would it be possible to forward a copy of my lease agreement? Please advise?
