bitterly disappointed in Discovery

<p>I am bitterly bitterly disappointed in Discovery. I have been a raging fan for many years having almost all of my insurances with them. I feel that discovery is at the technology forefront of insurance , finance and health companies but their Customer Services have really made me regret my commitment to them and Question my policies.</p> <p>I was involved in an extremely traumatic vehicle accident almost 2 weeks ago. The emergency services and impact alert call Centre were amazing and then I had to deal with the claims process. There have been nonstop problems from the beginning.</p> <p>This morning I have made 7 phone calls to the call centre and left 3 messages for Eugenia. I was just out on hold for ages and then had to hang up. Out of desperation I requested to speak to a manager. After speaking to Minogue I was assured by her she would find out exactly what is happening and revert back to me within half an hour. Still no call and no clarity.</p> <p>I have no idea who to even turn to for help now.</p> <p>I was always told your insurance company is only good when a claim goes smoothly. Well clearly Discovery isn't that good after all. All I can say is I regret getting rid of my broker and regret going with Discovery.</p> <p> </p> <p>Claim number is ********** </p>

Hi Thabani,

Please can you give me the details of the Claims Manager as I would like to contact them to escalate this matter. I am still having problems getting hold of anyone and getting proper information. I have now left 2 messages for Minogue to call me back as well as sent an email.

Discovery cannot even tell me where the car is.

I just keep being told the call centre is busy. It has been 2 weeks now and still no proper information. I am getting highly frustrated now.

Please can you assist urgently.

Thank you in advance

Tami
