Great bit of money never had seen my account before no one put anything in there and it was a very good amount that I can use to put toward many things I need. They had all my information stored and it was so easy to do, the money went in about 4 days later which was perfect and honesty a very good scheme that was put in place, and I am fortunate to have.

OneFamily more like OneFail

- Long wait times on the phone.
- Lack of communication, I have had to do all the chasing up which has been on numerous occasions.
- Hanging onto my money and I feel as if my money was being held hostage by them. all I wanted was a simple withdrawal of MY money.
- This process has taken weeks
- Would not recommend OneFamily to anyone ever.

Hi Karnage

Thanks for your review - that does sound a little odd!

Don't worry about the extra on this occasion, but if you'd like us to look into why this happened, just send an email with your details to customer.relations@onefamily.com.

Lost all confindence in this Company

My wife and I both have over 50's /Funeral plans with this company.We have been with them since the were Engage Mutual but in those day you could telephone them and get an answer.
For some reason, on some issues, they will not accept emails but will accept a letter and trying to get an answer on the telephone is ridiculous.
I am concerned that if I die and my nominated benefactor has to contact them my funeral will be over and the family will be clearing up after my wake.
I have lost all confidence in this company and I know I cant get my money back.

Avoid at all costs

Never known anything like it, trying to transfer my sons Junior ISA from NS&I to them, 3 months later still not done, no timescale as to when it will be completed, no actual response to messages just copy and paste answers.

I recently withdrew the money out of my…

I recently withdrew the money out of my account through the website. When i received the money it was less than what was originally shown when i pressed withdraw. After calling to ask why, i was informed that they sell the units the next day so you arent guaranteed the amount shown, which was not made clear on the website. However after withdrawing the account closes and the balance shows zero instantly. This would indicate that you are going to receive the amount that was shown. If you are not going to receive the full amount then the account should remain open with the amount visible till the units are sold. If they are not willing to do this then they should pay you the full amount shown before the account closed. I am very disappointed by this as i didn't receive the amount i was expecting.

Needs better clarity and better graphics

Thank you for your service so far it has been a fairly simple to use experience especially using your website however I cannot give you more than two stars because I find it very opaque it lacks the transparency which I would expect from an investment service, in the list to show some progress charts and some forecasts and outlooks to show the history of the account where it's been it's growth it's accumulated earning together and separately from the contribution etc but unfortunately none of these are available. I feel I am literally blind when it comes to one to find out what's happening with my money all I see is just the total amount. It would be great if you could improve it but unfortunately I won't be the one to benefit from it in the future.
