ABSA home insurance. Bad service

I am appalled at the service of ABSA. After the heavy winds that affected Durban this past Monday the lapa that is situated by my pool was damaged. I even took a video of the event while it was happening. After lodging the claim an external assessor came out and advised that they will have to refer the matter to ABSA. An ABSA assessor was meant to come to site but did not, when I followed up with ABSA I was told that claim was rejected by the assessor based on the pictures submitted by the contractor.

Dear Rezona.

Thanks for your generic response however since then you have not contacted me telephonically or via email. Just to let you know I have already repaired the damages at my cost and am seeking an alternate insurer. I am not sure if your response was to show future customers that ABSA is concerned or you had a genuine intention to assist. Either which way it’s been too long and I have still not even Received my rejection letter.
