Unfair rejection of claim

I lodged a claim on the 24th May 2021 for an accident I had on the 22 May 2021. The assessment on the car was done it was declared a write off. The senior consultant was only in contact with me 7 days from the date of the claim, she requested the following documents from me, ID, Drivers license , AR, Witnesses Numbers, Details of towing company, service history and I was made to sign a consent form, which I did. It was used to obtain any other information they required. The senior consultant was very rude and disrespectful, she went from accusing me of being drunk during the accident (I don't drink alcohol), she also said I am trying to commit *****!! The reason is that a friend of mine had my car for some time when I was away and I never added him as a regular driver, well this is very funny and confusing because the time he had the car no incident was reported, besides the accident happened when me, the owner of the policy owner and the regular driver was driving. But they went ahead to reject the claim. Be careful of this people..

I lodged a complain or asked for a review of the claim you rejected. 7 days that was requested has long passed on Tuesday the 15th June 2021. But no response, all I get from you is an automated email everyday at 7am saying, " please be advised that the complaint is currently being reviewed and we will provide you with full response within the next 24-48 hours". Today is the 19th June 2021. 48 hours has long passed. All you are good at is replying on this platform and never response to your paying customers. Budget has a way of really messing up people's lives.

Hello,
If you regard the telephone conversation as an outcome then we still have a long way to go. The consultant promised to email me the findings she got from the review since the reason for rejecting the claim is different from her findings, i have been waiting for the document from Tuesday the 15th June 2021 by the way. Please for us to conclude the matter please forward the document.
