Sick of their terrible customer service

<p>ABSA insurance is the worse ever. This is the 3rd time that my claim is rejected for some or other reason. They always find a reason not to pay! With the last claim after not hearing a word from them after the assessor came out I called them on 25 August to find out what is happening wrt my claim. I was told by Dudu Shabalala that my claim has been rejected as the fault was caused by a power surge . I questioned how did they come to that conclusion and that I would like the report from the electrician so that I can get a second opininon. I was told by Dudu that she has to speak to her manager but up till today I had no response from ABSA! The last time I was told the cracks in my swimming pool is due to lack of maintenance. When I asked then what do you cover as swimming pools dont just break when its new. Still no answer. I am not sure why I am still with this bank. I am a platinum client who has forever been with ABSA but I have had it. I dont need this **** service whlist everyone else is happy with FNB and Capitec! I am strongly of the opinion that ABSA Insurance is a dishonest broker who is tries to find every reason not to pay claims.</p>

Reviewer Update

So ABSA's customer service thought that sending me a rejection letter shows how responsive they are. That was not what I requested! I requested the electrician's report so that I can get a second opinion on their claim that the fault to my gate was caused by a power surge which they do not cover. Thus far I had no response back from them. The good thing about this bad experience has been that it finally got me to stop accepting bad service. I have moved my insurance to Discovery and my husband and I will now systematically start closing all our accounts at ABSA. Good riddance!
