Stay Away from Europ Assistance!

As an attorney having the misfortune to deal with this company, I would STRONGLY advise colleagues against accepting their mandates and the public at large against obtaining cover through them. Our fees/disbur*****ts in respect of a high court matter involving one of their insured remain unpaid in excess of 60 days. This is despite their own contractual undertaking to pay no later than 45 days after receiving an invoice and our repeated requests for payment. The constant refrain is that the the matter "is with our finance department". They appear to have zero understanding of legal billings, the immense work involved in protecting clients' interests in especially litigation matters where there is some degree of urgency and the potential prejudice to clients involved in litigation when fees/disbur*****ts are not timeously paid. I also recall now having had the misfortune to deal with them on a personal level in 2021 through my insurers at the time. Their service then was equally pathetic. My free advice: STAY AWAY FROM THEM! I await their pro forma, ineffectual response to this post.

Once again payment has not been made, this time in excess of 4 months after submission of invoice. There really are no words to describe this business!

Dear Valued client.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. 

We sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the delay in processing your payment.

After reviewing your case, our Legal Department contacted your attorney and obtained the updated bank confirmation letter required for FICA verification. This enabled us to proceed with processing the outstanding invoice. 

We can confirm that the invoice has now been fully captured and included in our current payment batch.
We are now awaiting final proof of payment from our Finance Team, which will be shared with your attorney immediately upon receipt. Your attorney has already been updated about the progress both telephonically and in writing.

We appreciate your patience while this matter was resolved and remain committed to improving our turnaround times and communication.

If you require any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Kind regards,
Customer Care Team
