Insurance claims at Finrite

Good day

I instituted a damaged cellphone claim at Foschini Tygervalley five weeks ago. The store assistance filled in a claim form and I signed it. I was asked to go back with the broken phone, and When I asked how will the evaluation be done if the phone does not go same time with the form I was told it is a process. 3 weeks down the line with no contact made with me, I made a follow up to the store and the store Assistant only told me then that I had to bring in the phone. When was I supposed to know if I did not follow up myself. Please note the time delay and that I as a customer I had to keep on phoning the store for an update of which there is no prompt answer, only she would call Finrite upon receiving my follow-up. I must say this process is tedious and embarrassing to me as a client , As a customer you get an update after you make your own follow-up call.

Today, I made another follow up call to the store, this time she could not tell me what exactly is the progress and the time that I have to wait and I decided to take the matter up to myself regarding my claim. I asked for the contact number so I can phone myself, this I what I got from the numbers I was given.

1st number ********** – incorrect when I called went back to the store and informed as such and was given; 2ND number ********** 763 – no answer just ringing final voice recorder not even finrite number. 3RD number – ********** – gone throught to Finrite Edgars and I was told its only for Edgars customer.

I am very disappointed with this, I mean if the store was doing follow ups on my claim they would have given me the correct contact number the first time, once again I am a Finrite insurance client who is Paying my premiums monthly without issued, and I don’t think I deserve this type of service. I hold a Foschini account and I have since bought 3 phones and all insured under Finrite.

I am currently feeling that Finrite Foschini/ is failing me as a customer an I am tempted to cancel the other insurances I hold with them and would rather run a risk out of my own accord instead of paying For a service that is not worthy to me.

The claims is for the following phone. Samsung J3 - IMEI number: ********** ********** 2 The Policy number is: IN ********** 00021

I am very unhappy with this treatment. Contact : ********** 324

Reviewer Update
Its been past 2 days since I received this reply , I have not even received a courtesy call or an update of which I am seeking to find out what the status or update on my cellphone claim is. The store assistance at Foschini also promised to get back to me on 16 July 2018, since I lodged a complaint, she has not done so and Finrite is also quiet. I cannot keep c ontacting them at my expense, all I want is somebody at Finrite or Foschini to contact me and tell me what is the hold up regarding the claim I submitted 5 weeks ago.
