DECLINED INSURANCE CLAIMS
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the repeated rejection of multiple claims under my insurance policy, all of which have been declined on the basis of “wear and tear.” This is now the third incident, and I am extremely concerned about the consistency and fairness of these decisions. Gutters damage: The gutters were damaged during severe storms and strong winds, with portions of the gutters being blown away. This was clearly weather-related damage; however, the claim was rejected and classified as wear and tear. Ceiling damage following a geyser burst: After a geyser burst, the ceiling sustained significant damage. Despite the damage being a direct result of the incident, the claim for the ceiling repairs was also not covered. Pool pump: Currently, the pool pump is not working, and once again we have been advised that this falls under wear and tear and will not be covered. Under what circumstances claims are approved, if storm damage, burst geysers, and resultant damages are all excluded? How these incidents qualify as wear and tear rather than insured events? At this point, it is extremely frustrating to continue paying insurance premiums while legitimate claims are consistently declined. It raises serious concern about the value and purpose of the policy if damages arising from unforeseen incidents are not covered.
