Customer service fails at Absa Insurance

I have an activate policy with Absa. For more than a week I have been trying to get an additional quote. Phone calls have not been of any help - when it gets answered the system has problems, I have been sent from pillar to post. I have tried to email but have not even gotten past an acknowledgment. Today, I tested the claims side. It took 2.5minutes for the call to be answered only to be told that I am at the wrong department and that I should contact some other department direct. This after I contacted their motor vehicle claims number listed as per their policy I shudder to think if I as a woman was stuck alongside the road and needed emergency assistance. This has been an absolute revelation and by far not a pleasant experience.

And a year later, nothing has changed. I am trying to cancel my policy and literally spend hours on the phone trying to get through to the correct department. I learnt something today, apparently these corporate companies are linked. I phoned Absa to cancel and they transfer me to Momentum for cancellations. I hereby give Absa notice that I am cancelling my policy since I am just not able to get through to you. All future debit orders will be reversed, thank you very much. I am done.
