Treat clients fairly Momentum

Such inadequate and unprofessional service from this company that does not follow TCF protocols. After the known heavy storm in my area on the 05th March, part of my retaining calls collapsed and I had a leaking roof in the bedroom. The collapse of the boundary wall could result in anyone walking into my property. there was no lack of urgency from Momentum, they don't care about safety of clients. My claim was rejected because the aasessor report states that my roof pitch is incorrect and the roof was not maintained, so how did all my other rooms not experience the same issue? The boundary wall was not build to standard to retain soil. How will I know that the boundary wall was not built to retain soil, is this not the reason why we insure our building as we don't know the unknown when buying a property? Any excuse not to pay a claim on Momentum's part. Even their responses to poor ratings here is very brief, but the company replies with a detailed response for good ratings....food for thought.

Reviewer Update
Well Momentum still rejected my claim even after requesting that I provide them with my no claim record which I did last week. I never had a claim in more than 5 years. Digicall, the company that Momentum uses to assess claims, states that some tiles were not interlocked correctly on one side of the roof, my question is how did the opposite side of the roof then leak and cause damage?? They quoted R54 000 for repairs on the claim, R35k for room, this is ridiculous, I could get everything repaired by an accredited SP for half the cost. I must now pay excess of R1 500 for emergency repairs that was R3 000 in total, which I was not informed of. Lerato and the service team is great but Momentum will look at every opportunity not to pay your claim. Time to move from Momentum insurance. They will not help you when you need them to deliver the most.
