DISCOVERY INSURE *****S PENSIONERS MONEY

My mum is a 73 year old pensioner and she has received ridiculous service from discovery insure we purchased for my mum 4 years ago a birthday present for her and 85inch Hisense Tv and 3 weeks ago there was power surge that hit our area causing the tv to break .discovery when opening up her policy promise that her appliances and tvs will be covered in case of power spikes we logged a claim to 1st received a email stating that THEY ARE AWAITING A REPLACEMENT QUOTATION and then a day later a phone call not even a formal email saying her claim is rejected due to wear and tear. We have being given the run around for 2 weeks and still havnt received any form of communication with people avoiding calls and making excuses I personally made 35 calls in 1 day to discovery to speak to a person that was surpose to keep me updated and till today im awaiting a call

Good day Imo, 

We're really sorry to hear about the difficulties your mum is facing with Discovery Insure. It sounds incredibly frustrating, especially given the circumstances. 

We have made the relevant management team aware of your mother's distress regarding their claim.

1. claim was reported
2. Email received awaiting replacement quotation
3. Technical guys set to open tv break manufacturer seals open tv confirm that is was power surge that cause tv to break never come with correct tools placed the tv on THE LED FACE down to open the rear pressed there fingers into the led while struggling to put tv back on wall knocking it against wall because they never come with step ladders to get right height ALL VIDEO AND PICTURE PROOF WAS SENT TO DISCOVERY ALL FOR IT TO BE DISCARDED
4. Called discovery to explain the above of how the tv was mishandled and incorrect tools or lack of tools was used possibly leading to more damage being caused by the DISCOVERY APPROVED TECHNICIAN
5. Was told by the representative OF discovery that in a claim of this the procedure is either we replace or give a voucher to the client
6. Get a phone call the next day to say that the claim was rejected due to wear and tear not even a formal email
7. DAYS gone by with over 60 calls made to find out more and re explain the claim and the issue all to get met with rude incompetence staff of DISCOVERY INSURE
8. STILL WAITING A CALL FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE FEOM DISCOVERY FROM LAST WEEK WEDNESDAY TILL TODAY NO CALL NO EXPLAINATION
9. get told that the person is on tea. Then he in meeting . Then he not in office . Then he outside . Then he will call . Then he left WORK DUE TO LOADSHEDDING??????? DISCOVERY HAS LOADSHEDDING AND THEY MAKE IT THE CLIENTS PROBLEM????

I will be posting on here on the public forum every hour that passes of the pathetic service till this claim is relooked at and APPROVED

as I was told these words in a email

AWAITING REPLACEMENT QUOTATION

THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS THAT CLAIM WAS APPROVED BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT QUOTATION WAS BE REQUESTED

THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAT NEED TO BE SAID

SENDING A FORMAL EMAIL STATING THAT AWAITING REPLACEMENT QUOTATION is CONFIRMATION THAT CLAIM WAS PROCESSED

Ok on regards to an email that said Awaiting replacement quotation was received there was no validation that was the reason or it was standard proceeding all of my 60 calls prove that when I enquired about it non of the Representatives AT DISCOVERY could give me a straight forward answer why was there hesitation or no knowledge to the staff at DISCOVERY of that how standard procedures happen


A team leader also confrimed with me on a telephonic call that he is also very confused as to why the lady sent the email

SO IT EITHER THE STAFF AT DISCOVERY ARE DUMB AND DONT KNOW THERE OWN JOB OR THE WAY CLAIMS WORK OR SOMEONE IS LIEING AND AND NOW NEED TO PUSH THE BUCK

NOW IM ASKING THAT ALL MY CALLS THAT ARE RECORDED BE LISTEN TO AND IM GOING TO WAIT FOR AN ANSWWR REGARDING THAT

NEXT

WITH THE TECHNICIAN THAT CAME TO MY MUM RESIDENTS AND THEN DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT TOOLS AND BANGING AND KNOCKING THE TV AGAINST WALL WHERE VIDEO FOOTAGE AND PICS ARE AVAILABLE DO U EXPECT ME TO ACCEPT THE EXTRA DAMAGE THAT WAS DONT POSSIBLE TO THE LED SCREEN OR THE FRONT LED WHERE THERE FINGERS WAS PRESSING INTO????

I EXPECT ANSWERS ABOUT THE MISHANDLING OF THE 86INCH TV??.

Pushing the buck of from the point of the technician that was on site that confirmed that back light was blown due to power surge is the next on the topic as to why was it noted down as wear and tear if the APPROVED TECHNICIAN FROM DISCOVERY SAID IT POWER SURGE ??

THE pics was received on the fb page and videos was sent aswell
Look forward to an explanation and how DISCOVERY plans on resolving the matter

I was also turned away and my warranty was voided becoz the discovery technician that opened the tv in the pics supp**** had broken seals or removed them

so now to add to injury becoz the technician removed the seals my warranty was voided
