MTN doesn't act on insurance claims!

<p>1. Logged claim on 6 November at Pavilion Branch. Was told that within about a week I would have my phone picked up and provided a replacement phone whilst repairs are done.<br />2. Followed up telephonically to MTN Insurance on 15 November and simply could not get through by phone.<br />3. Followed up by email to MTN Insurance on 15 November requesting urgent response.<br />4. MTN Insurance emailed me on 15 November confirming a 5 day turnaround time.<br />5. Emailed on 21 November and expressed my frustration, noting that MTN has not performed against its assured 5 day turnaround period.</p> <p>I have faithfully been an MTN customer since I can remember and have faithfully paid for insurance without claiming. I expect a reciprocal loyalty from MTN.</p> <p>Hence, I am extremely disappointed with the lack lustre response I am currently recieving from MTN and it is unlikely that I will continue being a customer going forward based on this experience.</p>

Kevin your urgent escalation has made no difference. I have since done a number of further follow ups with the store , email, facebook, twitter and everyone says they are escalating it. Escalation in MTN means absolutely nothing. The stated turn around period in each automatically generated email is 5 days. It's been over a month and no one from insurance has contacted me. I tried to drop the phone off at the branch and the refused to take it. What do I Do? This is like a black hole.
