Confusion, bad service and a whole lot of mess going on with Auto & General

Horrible experience, I got a call from a guy yesterday and we went through the whole process, he quoted me R1300 with shortfall cover included which is a bit more than I am currently paying but I wasn't bothered as I had heard great things about Auto & General and was willing to switch, I told him we could proceed, about half way in to answering all his questions, his words were "**** sorry ma'am, my system is bugging out, I'll call you back in 5" and he hung up, (btw, still haven't gotten that call back). Yeserday late afternoon around 16:00, I got another call from a lady telling me she received my inquiry and would love to quote me, I explained the situation and she proceeded to tell me she can't pick me up on their system. I told her if she wanted to re-quote me, she will have to call me back tomorrow (today now) as I am currently busy at work, just got a call from her and had to re-explain the situation from yesterday as to which she said "sorry" then cut me off to carry on with her script. Anyway, I did a re-quote and now I'm on almost R1500 excluding the shortfall cover as to which I told her, no, I got the quote of R1300 including shortfall cover yesterday and I would like that amount otherwise I wouldn't be interested, she yet again told me she doesn't pick me up on their system, I then proceeded to tell her I wouldn't be interested at this payment, to which she said okay and hung up. I am really glad I didn't take up that quote yesterday and his system bugged out because if this is the type of confusion and mess going on in their call center, I don't know what it would be like to try and claim from them.

Okay so follow up to my hello peter above, the guy who originally contacted me yesterday just called me again (14:51) to "resolve" the issue, now please understand where I am coming from, I went through my email earlier after the above hello peter and found an email from them with a quote for R1500 right, I thought this can't be right because he quoted me R1300. Over the call, this guy doesn't try to apologize for the inconvenience or that it was THEIR fault, oh no, he blames it on a system error and repeats himself over and over and beats around the bush so after I tell him hold on and directly ask him, "so you incorrectly quoted me yesterday?" Then only does he say yes. People, I was busy signing up for this insurance! Imagine if we had gotten to the part where he took my banking details and I had accepted what I thought was a cheaper quote because their system "bugged" out. I am so horrified at the thought of what I would have had to go through if we had fully signed up for the policy, only to find out I had been **** to. Please beware, I don't care how big Auto & General is, they are not as honest as they make out to be. Please be careful and please please, ask for proof of the amount quoted BEFORE signing up for anything. I am horrified. You need to do better Auto & General.
