3rd Party Claim Failure by Alexander Forbes Insurance

I accidentally reversed into a parked car on 30 April 2019. I'm insured with A/Forbes and I proceeded to submit a claim for the damage to the parked car, who's owner told me he was not insured. It took A/F one an a half months to respond to my claim and tell me that it was a 3rd Party Claim and that the Claimant had to make a claim against my insurance and follow it through. After two and a half months I paid for the repairs to his vehicle as I deemed it unfair that he should wait any longer. The 3rd Party Claim was sent to A/F and to date there has been no communication from A/F, who mentioned in the 3rd Party Claim procedure letter that the processing of such claims by their Legal Department was a 'paper process' and not electronic and would take months to be completed! Can you believe this in the electronic age we live in!! I have paid my premiums for the last eight years and never missed a month. It is ******** Business Practice not to respond to the 3rd party claim and so that I at least can be reimbursed for the R7995.00 cost of the repairs to the uninsured vehicle. Can I recommend Alexander Forbes Insurance .... NEVER!!!

Reviewer Update
Amazingly this matter has been resolved as A/Forbes Legal Department contacted me asking for the payment details for the claimant's car repair in order to refund me! This after much prayer to the Lord and His brainwave to review on Hello Peter. Thank you Lord for a lightening response!!
