DotSure - inconsistent service is not good service

I have said it before and I will say it again. When they get it right, they are fantastic but when something goes wrong, you may as well as be dealing with Eskom.

I have just copied and pasted my email to them below.

'It is now three days and I do not have an answer.

Oriana was as limp as a rag doll when we rushed her to Glenwood. Her gut sounds were almost non-existent so she was treated for GI Stasis for three days until her gut sounds returned to normal and her gut was functioning normally. Because of the spraying of trees in the estate for borer beetles and her previous poisoning that could be attributed to organophosphate poisoning, she was treated for poisoning as well.

This is not a complicated case at all and over R3k is a LOT of money to be out of pocket for anyone'.

And they keep sending me automated responses when I have queries every single day since submitting the claim.

I was retrenched last year and to be honest, we are stretched but we know that medical insurance for our rabbits is essential. They are not as hardy as dogs or cats and their care is expensive. But having said that, DotSure is normally fantastic. I don't know what is going on but nobody is emailing me back with an explanation.

I have stated to DotSure many times that I am available on email but not on my cellphone but there are no voicemail messages either. This is causing me so much anxiety.

Just as an edit to the above. Their automated response states that they are closing their mailbox soon to make it easier to submit claims. Not sure that this will be making it easier as you don't have a password on the portal. They send you a pin. So when I tried to claim on the portal, stasis was not a drop down option. It also requires the client to record a voice message on what happened. So does this mean that we do not require a claim form anymore?

And now you have only paid two of the invoices, not three. Why do I have to resort to writing a bad review to get you to respond? I sent emails very single day since I submitted the claim to have you ignore me but when I write a review then all of a sudden you respond but still mess up the claim.

What is going on at DotSure? Your service on claims for exotics is becoming very hit and miss. Now I have to start sending emails again and badgering you to pay the third invoice.
