***********- Lack of service delivery

So it has been two weeks since I submitted a claim with Auto & General. It has been 4 days since I last received communication from the insurance.

I have been upfront and always been the one initiating contact with the insurance. It’s been 2 weeks and I still don’t have my car back. I have thus far spoken to Shane, Mpho and Mr Jonker.

Mpho seemed to atleast be responsible and took ownership for when the claim process began. The last call I made I spoke to Hannah who advised me that the senior consultant would contact me. This is the same thing Mpho told me on Monday when I enquired as to why the Insurance had been quiet for so long, he said a JP Jonker would call me. THAT HAS HAPPENED AND THE WEEK HAS ENDED....................tbc

I presume that Mr Jonker is the same man I suppose to last week that had a rather condescending tone when he dealt with me. He had no sense of compassion with regards to the trauma and inconvenience I was experiencing and therefore gave me no sense of solution.


I am in the dark with where things stand and when I offered to help where possible to expedite the issue at hand, I was told that there was a delay with getting the necessary info pertaining the accident from the Randburg police station. I called the Randburg Police Station immediately therafter and amazingly got through to the accident reports dpt. CAN YOU IMAGINE MY SURPRISE.


This led me to believing that that wasn’t the true reason for the delay. I am not oblivious to the fact that an investigation needs to take place, but surely that within 2weeks you would have had the necessary information you needed to make a decision.


Having my car unfixed for so long and having the Autobody shop call me more than twice to find an update is rather frustrating.


I NEED AN URGENT UPDATE.

So since I posted this, I received a call from Dean on the 13th of July, early in the morning. He had assured me that a senior consultant would contact me to give me an update during the course of the day, needless to say its a day thereafter and I have no update.

Its been 3 weeks without a car. The autobody shop where my car was towed to keeps calling. They called yesterday and I couldn't give them a heads up. If they are panicking, can you imagine what I am going through. They charge a daily fee for my car being there and pending the results, I could possibly be responsible for that fee. Each day without an update, or NOT having my car fixed has a financial consequence for me.

At this point, Im not even disappointed but disgusted at the lack of empathy. Surely someone gets this?
