Ill-treatment by Discovery

Choosing the correct insurance company is a difficult task. We entrusted our assets and r livelihood with Discovery and duly paid our monthly premiums as loyal members of both medical aid and insurance. I had a car accident on 05/09/2018 where someone drove into me and I landed up in hospital getting stitches and pieces of glass taken out of my eye. My car was declared a write-off and to date my claim hasn't been settled, this has put an enormous amount of strain in my family and my marriage. I am also due to write exams which I cannot focus on until we get closure here. We have corporated with Discovery in every way possible but they just refuse to come to the party and do what's write. They are quick to debit the our account for the monthly payments but can't do the honorable thing when it comes to meeting their end of the agreement. We are being ill-treated by Discovery and seek assistance from whomever is able to intervene, there has to be consistent fairness app**** to all customers as in this case we feel victimised and done against.

Reviewer Update
Discovery's customer service is non-existent. Thami from Discovery is also failing us, I was promised a phone call update by 1pm yesterday and still waiting. Someone seems to be lying here, Thami says he's waiting on external party information (who's this external party?). Claims specialist says he's waiting on hospital report. We are being treated still like we are some *********, to make matters worse Avis called me this morning wanting their rental back today. This toxic behaviour has moved from public to private enterprises, citizens of this country are being treated like slaves, all money is drained and innocent people suffer.

Good day Tebogo

Whilst i appreciate your sentiments and recognise your frustration during this elongated validations process.

I would like to advise that we have exerted pressure to the relevant claims team. In an effort to ameliorate this situation, i have made a business decision to extend your car hire pending feedback.

We apologise that there has been a delay in process and we are working towards a speedy resolution.

Regards
Thami
