Arrogant, unhelpful, contemptuous attitude

I lodge this complaint obo my father Mr N Jeftha. His is utterly disgusted at the unprofessional manner in which he was treated yesterday 17/06/2015. He called your Centre to register a claim with the Case No he had been issued by SAPS. Instead of being helped, he was interrogated by your rude Consultant as to where they had been, what they had watched, the name of the movie etc. <br> Your Consultant is not qualified nor is it within her realm of expertise to interrogate your customers in this way. The information about the burglary was included in the Statement taken by the police and faxed through to iWyze. The line of questioning was irrelevant to lodging the claim. . To further add to my father's anxiety , he was issued with what can only be viewed as a veiled threat to deliberately delay the processing of their claim. This is a classic violation of Treating Your Customers Fairly by deliberately putting barriers to an efficient service.Be assured that after this encounter he will more than likely move to a more reputable ST insurer. Be assured too that his treatment will be spread via social media and word of mouth. Furthermore, we are lodging this with the ST Ombudsman as well.

Hello D_Van_Dieman,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry that you felt that your father was treated unprofessionally and that the questioning bordered on interrogation.

We listened to the calls and acknowledge that we could have done things better - please accept our apologies. Unfortunately there are a number of questions that our consultants have to ask in order to validate the claim properly and this is in both our and the client's best interest.

We agree that Treating Customers Fairly is essential and we are constantly looking at ways to make our processes more client friendly.

Your comments have been raised with our consultant, her Team Leader and Manager. Your Father's claim has since been settled .

Please don't hesitate to contact me on *** should you have any further queries.

Kind regards
Tasmin
