Service Sucks
Discovery has the worst claim procedure ever. They have *********** staff, and their service sucks. It has been nearly a week now that we have been without hot water due to our geyser failing. I submitted a claim on Thursday, the 22nd of May, and my claim was managed by Jamie Woodworth-Nchaupa. After I submitted the claim, there was no communication until a day after the claim was submitted. She then did not have the decency to phone me but to leave an email late Friday afternoon saying she can't find a plumber in my area. I then got my own plumber and sent through a quote on the Friday afternoon. I then received another delayed response from her, after which I had to call in again to follow up. The new week came, and still I heard nothing. I had to email her again to receive feedback. After I had to follow up again she then eventually called me and sent through the claim authorisation. After i signed the forms there was no feedback to let me know when payment had been made. I then sent up a follow-up email to ask when payment will be made. A day went past, and still she did not respond. The next day I sent another email only to receive a response that a request for payment has been made this is a day after it has been approved which means another delay. Had I not asked her if payment was going to be made, she would not have requested payment, which was another day's delay. After this I sent an email again to her asking when I can expect payment. She did not respond to me again. I then called in this morning and spoke to another consultant and explained everything. This consultant then told me that payment had only been requested yesterday. I then asked, So when can I expect payment? and the response was Next week, Tuesday. So now I have to go another week without hot water. After this claim I'm cancelling this ******* insurance.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We completely understand how frustrating it must be to be without hot water for so long and to feel let down by the claims process and communication. Your detailed account highlights some serious service gaps that definitely shouldn’t happen.
We're really sorry that Jamie Woodworth-Nchaupa and the team did not keep you adequately informed or act promptly on your claim. Waiting nearly a week, with delays in authorisation and payment, is unacceptable—especially for an essential repair like a geyser.
Our team will be in touch to discuss the complaint.
