Covid-19 Insurance pathethic underwriters and not helpful

Due to Covid 19 I am temporarily laid off and direct axis assisted for 2 months then told me to contact IUA. I have been busy with IUA for a month and they declined my insurance claim. I don't understand the service I'm receiving at the moment. I have been a long standing customer with direct axis but now when one actually needs them they nowhere to be found. I've been calling for months no answer I sent emails a month later I get a reply they acknowledge my email but still no call. I finally get thru to the creditors department to make a payment arrangement as I'm still unemployed but yet willing to pay a portion on my loan but the consultant told me NO they can't do that. I'm willing to make manual payments until my job is reinstated but yet direct axis is not helpful at all. I have taken a sanlam loan thru direct axis as well and they have given me the relief needed until my job is resumed. Direct axis the worst service ever I've received thus far for a situation that is beyond anyone's control. If covid19 never happened then this wouldn't of been happening. I've never skipped one payment with you guys but yet u give me a cold shoulder when I actually need your help. I was also told that the only time I can make payment arrangements is when they hand me over. HERE I AM WILLING TO MAKE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH A CERTAIN MINIMAL AMOUNT and STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO DIRECT AXIS. NOBODY EVER CALLS U BACK EITHER.

I used these 2 email addresses. *** got a reply they will call me up until today nothing. Then I also emailed *** no reply at all as well. The fact that I am willing to make manual payments as I'm doing odd jobs just to pay my bond which is the most important thing to me right now and Direct axis refuses to assist me. I can't afford to have a bad credit record due to covid 19 especially that I'm in the travel industry.

It's been almost 2 months and yet I'm waiting on a call from Direct Axis. My unpaid debits keeps adding up from Direct axis which I need to pay for and feel it's uncalled for!!! You requested an email address I gave you that as well. You quick to give a loan but GOD ****IT your customer service is ****** ridiculous

It's March again and still someone is contacting me. I have been handed over to a lawyer for something that's beyond my control and because my insurance on direct axis doesn't want to cover me.
This is the worst ever I have got treated. Up until now I'm still temporarily laid off but Direct axis just doesn't care all they care about is to get money which I must get where. I've been a good payer for years and due to covid 19 my job is the most affected.
