Usless Insurance
On the 4th of May, there was a lightning storm, my TV and my PC connected to it where damaged, I logged a claim with my insurance.
They requested i get damage reports to state the issues, which i did.
An assessors claim out and checked the tv and pc, and took the pc with for additional assessment, i advised hi the ups and surge protector where also damaged, but he said he didnt need those.
In the interim someone came to collect the tv to also asses it. ]Eventually after nagging for more than a month, a report came back stating "Natural component failure", " not covered", I logged a complaint as that is absolute BS, provided evidence of blown components on bothn the PC and TV, additional reports from another company stating once again there is clear lightning damage, in the meantime my tv and pc where brought back, but the tv looked like it had been dragged along the ground and had dents on the scree and water marks all over it.
I proved the assessors reports where bogus, and they still after three months of fighting insisted they would stick to original findings!
So they choose to take the reports from company that they pay, which is paid to report in their favor, over valid reports!
and they ignore the fact that their assessors damaged personal property!
So what is the point of insurance with a company that wont pay you out and just gives a BS report from their own companies over two reports from two independent companies that state the same!
I am now laying a charge of damage to personal property, undue stress caused, loss of income due to time spent running around and defamation of character!
