Poor service

I don't know I am getting frustrated and disappointed with the Budget Insurance team on the 30th March 2023 I requested road side assistance for my car to be pulled from paving, they sent someone from FirstHelp team (Freddy Langa) who subsequently damaged the bumper of my car during towing process even his working tool is still stucked on my car (I have sent pictures) and to this day I haven't got any feedback or developments I sent an email to both companies they keep saying they will come back to me but they don't just today I called and they told me that the damages department team will contact me at in 10 minutes that was in 11:30 but till now no one has called i spend over 15 minutes on that call, the costs of calling so far is way too much and I still don't get assisted so maybe they are comfortable if we communicate in public just now I spoke to Lungile who is telling me that we are coming from long weekend and they have high volume calls, i even made her aware that I have been calling multiple times my airtime will cut me off and eventually it did but there's no call back from her or anything. I have been with budget for over 2 years with no claim history and I haven't skipped not even a single premium now their service provider has damaged my car and no one can't account. I am very very very angry this is unacceptable and a bad way of running a business. Are you even aware of the costs occurred because of the incident having to use public transportation in my condition and still my matter doesn't get to be attended to. This is high level of incompetence.

This is really not a joke we are on the 3rd week now without any response and since they haven't bothered to contact can you kindly let me know if they will be able to assist? Or I should look for other alternatives because I don't think you understand the inconvenience caused by this whole incident already we are having a bad weather so I don't have another 3 weeks of being taken from one pillar to post I understand that the car isn't yours and you wouldn't care much but I believed that I was paying your insurance for the good course. So I just need one thing are they going to be repairing my car or not? Please note that I spoke to Thembakazi Dlamini she knows more about my case just to avoid being called and asked what happened again I explained too much and don't have the energy she will give you all the details if you are interested in solving my case.

And while you on that, can you also get me someone who will help me cancel my policy? I think I have seen how you don't value your customers I don't want to see the worst.
