Discovery insures pathetic service when claiming

On the 02/04/2022 I have submitted a claim to discovery insure. On the 04/04/2022 i received an email from Siyamazi Mbozana claims agent advising me to take my device for an assessment.I emailed and requested that he contacts me as there were no repair centres in the durban south area. He did not contact me. I contacted my broker and he got Siyamazi Mbozana to contact me. Siyamazi Mbozana was going to get the his assessors to pick up device. I did not hear from them so on the 11/04/2022 i drove to the Westville pavillion to get a repair quote done. 12/04/2022 the quote was sent thru. 13/04/2022 an email was sent by my broker requesting them to act asap as device is important to me. 14/04/2022 i had still not heard anything. I contacted my broker to escalate the matter and requested that his manager Gail Marshall contact me. I had received no feedback from Gail Marshall. 15.04 i recieved an email from Siyamazi Mbozana advising me that the claim in closed. 19.04 i got a hold of Gail Marshall she advises me that she isn't aware of my situation also sounded very confused when i mentioned my brokers name yet he has sent her an email on the 14/04. My question to discovery and Gail Marshall is my family going to the same service and run around from discovery when i die? Discovery has proven to me that they cant handle the claims process smoothly. Could they reimburse me for every life and short term premium paid by me??

Its now the 29 April 2022 and discovery insure has still not paid out.My claim had been approved on the 20/04/2022.i have submitted the agreement of loss on the 26/04/2022. I still have heard nothing from discovery . My broker had promised me a payout as soon as all required documents are submitted. Remember its now 27 days with no cell phone. I called a guy by the name of Chris Douglas and dont know which era he is from but according to him it takes 7 to 14 working days to get paid out from discovery insure as well as blaming the floods in kzn for taking so long with my claim.
I dont think he is aware of how long 14 working day is and my claim was submitted before the floods . With all my complaints and issues i still have had no human interaction with discovery, Gail Marshal (area manager) and Siyabonga (claims agent). People mention above all represent discovery insure and they are clueless with regards to customer service. Posting complaints on this platform mean absolutely nothing to discovery insure.
