Discovery Insure 3rd Party Claim

I was in a car accident with a client that is under Discovery Insure. It has been over 2 months trying to get a response from Nonhlanhla Sinthumule. I was sending emails and calling nonstop but I am taken from pillar to post. Nonhlanhla Sinthumule then redirected my case to her manager Vekash Ganas who is also not responding to my emails. Mind you when my car was hit it wasn't even a month old as we speak they could not put the number plate at the back because of the damage. My boot does not work. When you call either of theses individuals they do not pick up when you call the call centre and want to speak to them they will tell you that they left a message for them to return your call. That call will never be returned. I had to end up being rude on the emails thinking they would respond and give me an update on my claim but nothing. Is it because I am the 3rd party that is why they not bothered. I had to use my own money to get quotations from VW approved panel beaters because they will not pay for quotations on 3rd party claims. Can i get a damn update on my case this is pure nonsense this incident happened early September. We are in November now with no update whatsoever.

The worst part is I can only take it to a VW approved because it is a new car and if i take to any dealership it looses it's warranty.

It is clear that this is what you do to all 3rd party individuals. I will not not tolerate this anymore. I was not at fault your client was at fault. Stop treating people like dogs when your clients are the ones that damage our property.

I want to understand that who must pay the difference between the settlement amount and what the panel beater quoted. The difference of over R10k?

I will not accept anything below the lowest quote. When there is a shortfall I will have to be the one paying because I will not be allowed to claim again. Why did you guys make me spend my money to get the quotations then turn around and use the pictures I shared to do your own assessment. Firstly you cannot fully assess using those pictures you could have asked me to bring the car in to do a full assessment. You guys are bull****ting me straight up. Pay the full quotation amount as I spoke to your client yesterday and he said he will not pay the shortfall but you should. I called the panel beater that I also went to that is VW approved and they denied the fact that they said they will fix the car for the settlement amount can Nonhlanhla Sinthumule and Vekash Ganas send a settlement offer eqyuivalent to the quote. I must chase after you guys and you still don't want to pay the full amount to get my car fixed do not bull**** me I have had enough of this. Then worst you guys respond privately people need to know that you treat us like **** when we are not even the ones at fault for the accident.

Do better

I will wait on that as the panel beater has denied talking to anyone to fix the car according to the settlement offer
