WORST INSURANCE!!

Better off not being insured!! We bought our house about 2 years ago, I have been with Bettersure from the start, never claimed and always pay my policy on time. In February we had a terrible hail storm which cause damage to our roof, I contacted Bettersure, while since the 26 Feb, I am still waiting for an answer from them, I have called countless of times, been out on hold for 15 min only for the call to drop, I have been told the same story every single time, “they are waiting for the service provider to amend the quote” last week I was told they have received the amended quote and by Thursday I would get an answer, today I was told they are waiting for an amended quote “but it does seem there is poor maintenance that has caused the leak” our roof was redone 2 years ago just before purchasing the home. What is the point of having insurance if you have to wait more than 6 weeks for an answer, since then there has been more damage to our ceiling from the rain we have had, now who is responsible for this?? If I was told in week 1 that it won’t be covered then fine we would’ve done it ourselves but now waiting has caused more damage. Absolutely shocking and most frustrating service I have every received!!! I have been patient and kind up until today. I will be cancelling my policy! #Notahealthyhome #Betternot

Reviewer Update
Claim has not been resolved, I am still waiting for confirmation and clarity, the below email was sent on Thursday, no response no feedback, absolutely appalling.

Hi Sylvia,

Just a follow up with regards to the claim.
Firstly I'm shocked that it's taken this long to get to some sort of a resolution for such a simple issue, communication and clarification from BetterSure has been extremely poor.
The fact that we had to contact the installer directly several times as well as going through your call centres several times to try to get some sort of answers shows a complete lack of professionalism and organisation from BetterSure.

We still have no clarification regarding possible reimbur*****t of the products that I purchased, or whether they will be cancelled against the payment of the excess?

I have spoken directly with Jerry the service provider/installer this morning and he is ready to complete the job next week Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday possibly.
He advised that he has spoken to you regarding the excess payment/reimbur*****t and that will be handled through you, so no direct payment from us will be paid to him before he starts the work.
He has said that he will use his normal, approved products for the work and that my products either need to be given over to you for a credit or that we still need to pay the excess amount (R2000) and I get to keep my products for use elsewhere.

Please can you just confirm this to be correct??
Do we pay the excess of R2000 to you?
OR do we hand over our products and not pay excess at all?

Please just clarify these simple questions so that we can finally complete the job and have our home back to normal.

We look forward to your urgent response.
