Dissapointed!

9 months since i lodged a complain for Iwyze with OSTI, my reference no is M2768/22 and case administrator is Valerie Mngadi ( with Mbali) whom iv never spoken , never available nor return calls hence colleques leaves messages mostly when i call. Yes i want a positive feedback from the OSTi team , but right now it doesnt matter if the decision will be in my favour or not, all i want is to know where i stand with case.

Why should we go through all the stress and hope that at least while our insurance companies fail us, at least we have a team of professionals who will assist us , but instead stresses us worse .

My claim has prolonged as if i killed some1 via the accident i had while insured with Iwyze. I called this morning, wanting to escalate the matter to Valerie's senior and the lady by the name of Kiyana told me that Valerie does not have a boss, she's the only 1 who will decide and get back to me when she has time.

January 2023- September 2023. Awaiting feedback from Mbali and Valerie Mngadi still! Who knows, this is South Africa, COLD DRINK ke number one.

Good morning,

We apologise for the delay in providing an outcome in the matter, and for the stress this has caused.

I discussed the matter with Valerie this morning and she has the case on her list of matters to attend to urgently.  

Valerie does have a manager (department head) and I will inform her of your complaint. I will also send you an email so that you have my contact details. Please let me know if you require further support. 

Kind regards,
Marilize

Good day Marilize

Thank you for the quick response, and yes i have received the response from Valerie this morning by the Insurance. I understand the influx of complaints as well, the Assistant(s) Ombudsman should communicate by updating us on the claims not lie and cover for each other from us escalating them.
