Cannot claim for Scratch and Dent Cover
Ever since I got this VAS, Budget has always managed to make it difficult for me to claim. I get R3000 on the cover every year, I pay R119 every month for Scratch and Dent/ Tyre and Rim. I am trying to log a claim for a dent I have on my car and a few scratches. I am being told that each dent/scratch must be logged separately and each dent/scratch logged will have an access of it's own. Which means if I have 1 dent, 5 scratches I need to pay R400 * 6 which equals to R2400 (which is plain ridiculous). Then your call center agent told me I need to have a date for all incidents so tell me, how am I suppose to recall how I got the 5 scratches on my car? Most of the time I get scratches while parked at the mall. That doesn't make any sense. Anyway after logging details for the dent I have, I was told the claim has been declined because the claim is more than 30 days old. But I have been paying you for over 2 years now!!! What nonsense is this??? I want my cover canceled immediately!!! Your service is typical insurance company ripoff!!! I want all my premiums back for the year 2017 because you have been nothing but useless to me!!! I don't need your pathetic service I will pay for my own scratches and dents!!!
We acknowledge receipt of your complaint.
As discussed with our Customer Relation Specialist, the reason why you need to register different claims is because you are claiming for different incidents, and an excess will be applicable for every incident.
We are really sorry that you don't want to discuss the matter further. We have requested that you are contacted by the Value added team to discuss the cancellation of policy.
