Worst Insurance Service Provider: No contact for 2months after claim

I had a cellphone purchased from Edgars Store Centurion and insured by Edgars Financial Services. The policy was upto date for over 1year and then the phone got damaged (phone fails to switch on or to take charge when plugged and screen was cracked) and I sent it back to the store for a claim. The phone was repaired with but obviously with a most inferior screen glass. After I collected the phone the screen cracked again within a few days and same problem namely phone fails to switch on or to take charge when plugged was still there. So I sent the phone back. Then comes the most terrible service ever. The store went silent and made no contact whatsoever for over 2months. When I called them today they now want me to agree to another excess of R400 to fix the same problem they failed to fix in the first place.

Such terrible service and to pay an excess of R600 for a phone worth R1900 after paying insurance policy for over 1year and getting no feedback for over 2months. Naturally if a phone cannot be fixed with two weeks it must be a replacement not a repair.

I am seriously disappointed in the service (no service) you are providing. Can you return my phone and cancel this claim. You said above you will revert in 48hours with resolution then on 24 august, 10 days later, you sent an email and still insisted I pay you R400 for a screen crack that I am not claiming for. Wheras the initial claim ie; phone not working and not taking charge, is still not fixed. Horrible service provider. I will never buy your service anymore and will caution everyone I know. Please return my phone and cancel the claim. I hope it does not take another 10days to get it to me. Meanwhile you are still getting your premium for a phone that I do not have use for.

this is seriously bad service. The phone is still not fixed I have clarified to your Finrite consultant (Jean) who called me on 31/08/2018 that the claim is for the screen. the Old claim which involves getting the phone to work and to take charge when connected to a power source is still not fixed and still no contact from you on that. this is terrible service and *******. I am going to have to close all my accounts with Edgars as a result of this.
