Momentum Vehicle Insurance: AVOID AVOID AVOID!

I am a calm person who believes in giving people (and businesses) a chance to 'do better' and improve themselves. My as yet unresolved, year-long struggle with Momentum Vehicle Insurance has been so appalling as to prompt me to want to help others not to make the same mistake I have. Please, please, please, if you are considering it as an option: DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!!!! I have not dealt with a single department within Momentum (including their chosen contractors) that has kept their word, or with which communication has not been an INCREDIBLE HASSLE, with delays stretching from weeks into months and now...a year.

My car's passenger door was damaged a year ago. Dent Tech, Momentum's panel beater of choice, made repairs that were so utterly shoddy that I had to bring my car back the very next day after receiving it. I have had to take my car back a total of FOUR TIMES, for them to 'fix' a job that should have been done the very first time, a year ago.

The first three times, I calmly brought my car in, and dealt with the inconvenience. The fourth time I involved Momentum. Clearly they could not be less concerned about how their customers are treated, by their contractors or by their own departnemts.

I have tried to place this ridiculous, YEAR-LONG battle to have my car fixed on record by laying a complaint. I have heard absolutely nothing further. Momentum complaints department seems to be as silent and as shoddy as the rest of this company. What should I now do?? Lay a complaint against the complaints department!?

One year later, I could not be more unhappy with the utterly appalling lack of service I have received from this sorry excuse for an insurer. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

Good day Alison,

This is definitely not the type of service we want you to experience. I have referred your complaint to the relevant department who will be in contact shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards

Shana

Hi Shana, What an unbelievably snappy response-time from you! Only a few minutes after I posted at 11h30?! Sadly, but unsurprisingly, your complaints department still hasn’t done as much as send an email...and it’s now 17h30 (6 hours after my posting here AND emailing again). Please define what you mean by ‘shortly’ as a turn-around time? Is it...a week? (This does sound too good to be true). Is it...a month (the time taken for the 3rd vehicle assessment to be completed). Is it...a year? (the time I’ve spent awaiting resolution on the damages to my vehicle).
