Poor Service

<p>Two weeks ago we had a storm and suffered water damage. We contacted ABSA Insurance that confirmed a contractor will make contact with us within 48 hours. A claim number and the contractors contact detail was sent via sms.</p> <p>Friday 20 Jan 2017- After waiting 5 days with no contact from the contractor I contacted them.</p> <p>Excuse 1: We were at your property there was no one. We will come out to Lenasia. Confirmed I am not in Lenasia but in Ennerdale. Said I need to speak to someone else. The line was bad so I requested he sms me the contact number and the name of the person. Also send him an sms for the number. No contact number or name received.</p> <p>Excuse 2- Saturday 21 Jan 2017: Called the contractor again. Again promised they will come out by 14:00, the afternoon. Did not pitch up. Contractor called 15:23 to say he will not be able to make, his car broke down.</p> <p>Monday- 23 Jan 2017. Waited 25 minutes for someone to answer my call. Called ABSA insurance to complain. Consultant logged complaint about the service provider. Provided me with a new contractor and their contact detail, Promised contractor will call me the same day.</p> <p>Guess what, still no call from the new contratcor and the contact detail provided does not exist.</p> <p>In the meantime we had another storm and suffered water damage again.</p> <p>The service has been appalling. Can someone please HELP!</p> <p> </p>

It appears thst ABSA does not give a flippen hoot about it's clients. It is 7 days after the assessment and still no feedback on the outcome. Are you going to cover the damages to my property or not? It keeps on raining and damages is getting worse. I will laying a complaint with the ombudsman.
