Deplorable Customer Service

Good day, I had a minor accident on the freeway on Friday the 3rd of November.Following this, I logged a claim the following day (2017/11/06) with Budget and I was advised that I take in for assessment the following week on Saturday the 11th, which I did, I was then promised to be called for feedback regarding my assessment on Monday the 13th, this did not happen in fact, I have been calling them for feedback on my claim through out the duration of the week and I eventually got some direction only today, Saturday 18th. I am rather aggrieved by this, as when ever I called, I was promised feedback on a certain day, and I never got it. I take this as a clear disregard of a paying customer who is in distress because of not having a vehicle, I wonder if budget takes any consideration of the medical history of their clients before increasing their stress levels through this type of frustration, I wonder if they ever consider the health ramifications of such increased stress levels as a result of their poor service in a such times?? Budget clearly could not be bothered about the customer, so I would like to warn anyone who is considering joining Budget Insurance, "You join them at your own peril"!

As it has been, so it continues. It's now the 30th of November and the only calls I have received from Budget (3 calls) have been related to this complaint and non, what so ever, have been updates or feedback regarding my claim. The only claim related calls I got were from Mervin Williams (a stellar gentleman) who's a senior loss underwriter with Telesure. The cherry on top has been today, when I called in and I was told that there were documents outstanding and that I would be emailed a list of these documents, which after an hour, I have not received. I am worried that I won't ever see my car again, nor receive any settlement, whereas I have been paying premiums for years. Fellow South Africans, I warn you again, Do not join Budget!!
