OLD MUTUAL IWYZE INSURANCE TWO MONTHS DELAY IN FIXING THE CAR

OLD MUTUAL IWYZE INSURANCE TWO MONTHS DELAY IN FIXING THE CAR *** *** Following the damage on my car on 11 November 2023, two months have passed awaiting the commencement of repairs. The delay is caused by the Old Mutual Iwyze Insurance’s decision to repair the damaged radiator instead of replacing it as well as well as replacement of Steering Knuckles, CTR & Rear Trim, Wheels and Shock Absorbers damaged at the accident. The situation has been aggravated by the refusal of Iwyze insurance to extend the car rental despite the unprecedented two months delay awaiting authorization. On 13 December 2023, Mr Flipper Pieterse confirmed the commencement of repairs. On 8th January 2024 Mr Pieterse provided a vague answer when asked about the state of repairs in the car, only to find out a day later that the repair process has not commenced pending authorization to replace critical damaged parts instead of repairing them. The two months agonising waiting process is an unprecedented one in the history of car insurance companies in South Africa. It is either the Old Mutual Iwyze Insurance has gone bankrupt or its systems have collapsed due to incapable personnel.

Reviewer Update
IWYZE INSURANCE REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE UNPRECEDENTED DELAY IN REPAIRING THE CAR
On 10 January 2024, Old Mutual Iwyze Insurance refused to extend the car rental facility despite the unprecedented two months delay to commence car repairs. The delays occurred because of the long wait for an assessment report. The refusal to incur extended car rental costs caused by the unprecedented two months delay has impacted negatively on my finances and created unbearable severe strain.
At this stage (11/01/2024) it is not clear whether the authorization will cover replacement of the damaged Radiator, Steering Knuckles, CTR & Rear Trim, Wheels and Shock Absorbers highlighted in the assessment report issued in November 2023, contrary to the initial stance to cover 15% of the original costs recommended by the assessment report.
In essence, Old Mutual Iwyze Insurance has refused to take responsibility by extending the car rental attribute to the unprecedented delay.
Sincerely,
Dr JJ Klaas (PhD Cambridge UK)
