Pathetic service

<p>On 9 March 2017 I submitted a claim via my broker, Motorsure Direct, to Bidvest for my laptop that got damaged after I fell on wet stairs.</p> <p>Time went by and after follow up I was informed by my broker that they had a system change. Therefore the delay.</p> <p>On 31 March 2017 I was informed that they want to do an independant rest on my laptop. This after I subitted a damage report from a reputable IT bisiness in my area. They even called him and debate over the price of the laptop claim. Obviously they have no clue of the price of topend 18 inch laptops.</p> <p>Laptop was handed in at offices in Waterkloof Pretoria to a lady named Lynette.</p> <p>Until now I have not heard a single word from them or my broker. Looks to me if I do not make calls to find out what is happening nothing happens.</p> <p>In the meantime I am stuck without a laptop to do my work after hours and no one seems to care.</p> <p> </p> <p>I would surely not recommend Bidvest insurance to anyone.</p>

Some feedback on this.

Up till today even after the e-mail for Candice.......silence from Bidvest.

My broker has no answers. Apparently waiting for a person in Pretoria Lynwood with name of Kobus. He also wanted to test laptop as he apparently have more IT knowledge than the place I have tested it.

So there you have it.

Stay away from Bidvest Insurance.

Another update.

So Bidvest cancelled their R3500 payout for only a broken screen - according to them - to replacing the complete laptop with a new one. Quite a change of heart.....

I have to mention that my broker, Motorsure Direct, went out of their way to help me sort this out. My thanks to Stefan and Hendry.

Laptop to be deilvered on Monday at myselected address.

I will however not change my mind or rating about Bidvest.
