DECLINED CLAIM DUE TO EXCESS FEE

On the 3rd of March 2023 I was watching tv at my place&tbe TV just stopped working. I gave it some time to see if the problem still continues and indeed it was not working as the screen was flashing on & off. I alerted my insurance Miway on Monday the 6th of March, they didn't attend to my query until I called them on the 7th.they sent a guy from their repair center to come pickup the TV so that they could access the damage further. The TV was collected on the 8th of March. Today I received a call from claims department advising me that I have to pay an excess fee of R4500 to have my TV replaced. I took an insurance without an excess for any household goods I claim for and there's nowhere in my policy document where it says that I will be charged this amount for any replacement of stuff in my house. All I want is for my TV to be replaced or fixed and be returned to me before I escalate the matter to my lawyers. This is **************** as the consultant who called me told me that since load shedding policies have been amended, I never got any document from miway advising me of such as if we as costumers are the one's who caused this load shedding issues. I have been a loyal customer who never missed any payments on his premiums, i DESERVE A BETTER SERVICE FOR WHAT I'M PAYING For.. My policy is a NO Excess policy and that is why I took it in the first place. I don't have anything to watch at my place, please assist me ASAP

Reviewer Update
MY POLICY WAS CHANGED AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIOND ON IT UPDATED WITHOUT ME BEING NOTIFIED LAST YEAR APRIL 2022, NOW WHEN I HAVE TO CLAIM I GET TOLD STORIES THAT I HAVE AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF R4500. I NEVER GOT A COPY OF THIS UPDATED POLICY, IT WAS ONLY SENT TO ME TODAY AFTER I ASKED FOR THE RECORDING OF WHEN WAS I ADVISED OF THIS EXCESS AMOUNT WHEN I CLAIM FOR SURGE. IF I SAW THIS I WOULDVE HAVE ENQUIRED ON TIME BY MAKING A CALL AND WOULD HAVE LOOKED FOR ANOTHER INSURANCE COMPANY. ALL IM ASKING FOR IS FOR MY TV TO BE FIXED AND BROUGHT BACK TO MY HOUSE OR GET REPLACED WITH ANOTHER ONE. IF N OT THEN I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE MATTER WITH MY ATTORNEYS
