1st For Women A Financial Parasite

When I bought my first car years ago, the very first thing I did was sign up for an insurance policy with 1st For Women. I had long been intrigued by their adverts of immediate help from heroic fairies driving pink German beasts. When their first debit order went through, I was over the moon thinking about how great life would be, I felt safe and prepared. I mean, those are the exact feelings their adverts aim to evoke within their potential clients. I had no idea how wrong I was. I found out just what a horrible decision i had made when my car was crashed into by a drunken driver some time later. 1st For Women failed me dismally. Almost 3 years later, I still shudder and roll my eyes in disgust at their adverti*****ts. Not only did I not receive the sought-after 'guardian angel'' feature they so loudly boast about, I ended up having to fork out R12000 to have my car fixed. Years later, my excess still hasn't been recovered. What`s worse? The last time I received ANY communication from them was when I called them. That`s the only time me and these people ever communicated- when I called THEM. They were, and apparently still are, too preoccupied with building their own wealth with the monthly premiums of unsuspecting victims. What a shame for a company that prides itself in the ''protection'' of women. I feel ****med. Deal with this company at your own risk.
