FreedomLife | Meerkat | Checkers | Shoprite De*****

It seems FreedomLife (administered by Meerkat) is in the business of collecting money and then forcing policies to lapse. My mother's policy gets paid around the 27th of the month. Now the payment was erroneously missed in April 2026 and they sent a text that the policy has lapsed - not a reminder that payment has not been made. They have tried to lapse the policy about 2 times before. This is very unprofessional and Checkers/Shoprite needs to do something about this as we trusted them when we got involved in these policies. The law categorically states that a funeral cover policy has 30 days grace period for the premium to be rectified.
