Echelon not acting in customers’ best interest

Put in a claim for an iPhone 7 Plus 256Gb. The phone just stopped working and wouldn’t charge. Took it to the iStore, and they booked it in for an assessment. The report said that the phone has no power and is not repairable. I was given a quotation for an equivalent replacement phone. Submitted everything to Echelon. Now they want some strange guy to assess the phone! Isn’t iStore the official supplier & repairer of all things Apple? Echelon is wasting time and, as usual, are not willing to honour the claim.

Good Afternoon Dr Mbele
 
Hope this email finds you well.
 
According to the documentation on file the iStore Damage report does not state what caused the phone to no longer charge up. The iStore advised our claims handler that they cannot confirm what caused the problem with the device.

In this instance, a normal part of the Claims process would be to appoint a contractor to do assessment to confirm what would have caused the battery to no longer charge.

Please refer to your broker for feedback, as we are communicating with them accordingly.
