48 Hrs "radio silence"

No response for 48 Hrs after registering a claim

I am gobsmacked by the Budget insurance workway that they will wait 48 hrs before contacting a customer after a claim has been registered, no matter how you register the claim, whether via internet or phone, and please do not even expect a simple sms to say, never mind one of their consultants to contact you. If there is a weekend then the 48 hrs turns to 96hrs, if you lucky. The consultant will not even acknowledge receipt of an email if it is within the 48Hr period.

This little bit of news is no where listed in the Policy document, and also not mentioned when you sign-up as a customer.

Other insurance companies acknowledge your claim via sms while you are still on the phone with the claim consultant. Maybe something Budget Insurance should consider should they wish to improve there services.

Lastly customer services should not justbe a Dpartment name, it is a way of doing business,, its the attitude with which you conduct business.

Must admit I am suprise that Budget Insurance acknowledge the review within 48 hrs and even after hours, now imagine how must praise they will get if the Claims Department follow the same motto and acknowledge the claim registered within 48 Hrs, and then if they start acting upon the claim it would be even better.

But lets wait and see if I do get any other response withing 48hrs of the original acknowledgement of the bad review.

it is now past the 48hr mark since the initial response, and I have not heard or see any reply from Budget Insurance on my initial complaint. I just want to add that my initial claim has been finalised
