Unacceptable response and service

My car battery was dead at 08h19 when i logged a call with discovery roadside assist. I initially dealt with Nomfundo (very helpful) but was transferred to Nondumiso at discovery insure and informed that as the systems were down and they could not verify my account i should pay cash for the call out and then claim a refund. I did not have cash on me and no way of getting to an atm.<br> I Was then informed that i should call back in an hour to see if the system was up and running,!<br> When i complained about this, Nondumiso then went 'another route' apparently into the system called paradigm and verified that i was an active member. Why was this not done in the 1st place.<br> my 1st call was placed at 08h19.....Nodumiso agreed to the call out at 8.49 and my car was eventually started at 09h30. <br> In the meantime i called discovery back to complain to Nirosh a supervisor about the situation. He was busy and I was informed by Kevin that he would email Nirosh to get back to me urgently.<br> Im still waiting for his call.<br> Discovery Insure Im seriously concerned that in future in an emergency i will be told to call back in an hour!

Hello dweare,

Thank you for making us aware of this matter.

We are truly sorry for the delay this morning, we did indeed have issues with our systems and we understand that this wasn't ideal.

We weren't able to validate any details through our primary data base.

Nirosh has confirmed that he has since been in touch and apologised for the inconvenience, We had no intention of frustrating you to this extent.

Kind regards,
Serushin
Discovery Insure
