Terrible service - as in ZERO response

I received notification via email that our home owners policy is up for renewal. I have now tried to call Absa Insurance, and whilst holding on, for over 20 minutes a message repeatedly advised to send email. That was my first attemp to talk to someone, which obviously failed as I have no response to the email, which was sent on 30th SeptemberI need answers to questions I have, regarding the renewal, on various issues, including the 35% increase from 2021, as there has been only a few MINOR claims over the last 34 years, so that should not have resulted in increased premiums. I have tried various methods to request someone to call me such as a post on their Facebook page, Facebook messenger, and also sent email to the ABSA action line. I eventually had a response from Action line and Messenger, both advising "we will look into it and respond with in 2-3 days". Why does it take 2-3 days to pick up the phone and call the client? The bigger the company the worse the service.

I now have 4 reference numbers - the last 3 did not help, what makes this reference number any different, and a reference number does not resolve my queries.

At last someone called me this morning at 8-19, but I did not get her her contact details. She answered all my questions and assured me I would have the revised renewal in the next 10 minutes. It is now 14: 31 and no email from ABSA. How do I obtain a copy of the recording of our conversation as proof of what was discussed? I have no other means of communicating with ABSA, and this platform seems to get a response.

Hi
Ok, all has now been resolved, although it was a mission, I have had all questions answered and have received a revised renewal policy. Something that has to be addressed is HOW TO CONTACT ABSA. It is clear from all the platforms I used, only Hello Peter seems to get a response?. The fact that when you call, the automated message tells you to use email, and then that is never responded to, so it should be rectified, or removed.
