Value Added Service is misleading

<p>I have VAS cover on my vehicle for rims and tyre damages. On 22nd November 2016 I drove into numerous pot holes on M7 Edwin Scales which had a severe impact on the balancing and alignment. Possible rims are buckled. When I called budget they tell me to get a quote and email it through. This is my 2nd incident as the 1st was when tyres burst. My gripe is this, how on earth do they expect me to drive around with damaged tyres whilst waiting for them to receive and review my quote? I had to replace my tyre at my own expense because it doesn't make sense to be immobile whilst awaiting for Budget to respond. Pathetic</p>

I just spoke to Tian the call centre manager who refused to give me his surname. Very rude person. Screaming into my ear because I am not understanding the policy clauses which was never sent to me. And apparently there was a ethnically error so my claim was not captured. Further more he speak about excess that's due by me if I claim but when I signed up this policy this was not mentioned. Also a policy schedule which he says I should have read, was not sent to me. This is a *******. I request my policy be cancelled and Tian be sent on a course on telephone ethics
