Automatic Transfer From Hollard to Dotsure ... Chaotic!

I was a policy holder of Hollard, and then they merged with Dotsure, and I automatically became a Dotsure client. Perhaps they're good if you sign up with them specifically, but this transfer appears to be totally chaotic! Firstly, they sent me a policy schedule that was full of mistakes (why did they not just copy the existing one?) Eventually they got the temporary schedule right, and when I confirmed the details, I was issued with an incorrect one (e.g. having 2 geysers instead of 1, and having cover for a boat which I don't even have). Then two different amounts were deducted from my bank account within one month. I stipulated the correct details, but they failed to communicate with me. Eventually I noticed that they had refunded part of the incorrect deductions (without communicating with me about it!) but now, 3½ weeks and at least 6 e-mails from me later, l still have not received the corrected policy schedule. So, for all intents and purposes, if I happen to have to claim, I may find that I'm not covered by insurance - because the policy I last received, covers me for items I don't possess, but left out an important part of the coverage which I do need, and have paid for ...

Someone from Dotsure did contact me, but the problem has still not been sorted out fully. Their policy schedule wording apparently cannot be changed to suit the requirements of their clients. E.g. I need our complete solar system (for generating electricity) covered, but they only have "solar geyser" on their list - while we don't even have one. The agent said that it would include that. I very much doubt if they'll pay out a claim for > R100 000 if my policy only mentions a solar geyser! I find it unacceptable that wording doesn't reflect the true contents, so the agent said she'll escalate my concerns to the relevant department. That was a week ago, and I'm still waiting with no proper coverage ...
