Appalling claims department

I put in a claim for a car accident on Wednesday. I was promised a call from the assessors in 2 days which did happen but I've been waiting for a WhatsApp number the whole day so that I can send pictures of the damaged vehicle. I tried to call those assessors back to ask them for the number and they don't answer. I called budget back to get assistance and they gave me a number that doesn't exist. I won't keep this insurance for very long. Cash back means nothing if your service is nonsense

Hi Budget,

Yes, your team has been in contact with me.

I must say that your processes are quite - slow compared to your competitors. I hope that they end product will sweeten the bitter taste the initial process has left...

Regards,

Hi Budget,

I am still waiting. Still waiting. For me to hear something I have to call you and each time I call I hear something different regarding your processes and what the next step should be. Does it take 2 weeks to make a decision on a claim?

I am still waiting. It's the end of the day, tomorrow is the 16th and your company does not work tomorrow so I must until the 17th. But from all the promises that were made, I will get a call in 2021.

I just hope whoever that reads this, runs. Don't buy a budget policy. Or anything from any of the Auto & General group companies. They will debit you but you will know who they are when you need help. I am stuck right now, if I could jump ship I would have done so last week. Pathetic processes and nonsense service

You might as well cancel the cover. We left and you won't get our money anymore. I'll probably contact the Ombud to help get my money back
