NO RESPONSE FROM OMBUDSMAN FOR SHORT TERM INSURANCE
It is really frustrating that I need to use this platform to get a reaction from this Ombudsman. I requested assistance on two claims against Nedbank Insurance 7 March 2018. A FULL year later on 8 March 2019 Nedbank insurance accepted responsibility for the claims. One claim was paid one not. I wrote a formal complaint and requested further assistance from the Ombudsman after this and provided full evidence, case-law and serious mistakes the Adjuster made in his report. For the last two months I have been sending emails to the Assistant Ombudsman Ms Sewpersad and the Administrator Ms Sergel and NOT ONE is responding to my emails. The case numbers are O71/18 and O8/19. This is just unacceptable and the OSTI has no information on how a case can be escalated to a Senior Assistant Ombudsmand or the Ombudsman herself. I need a serious intervention on this case. It cannot take 14 months to resolve a case that is straight forward.
According to our records, the files O71/18 and O8/19 have been closed as the insurer conceded the merits of the matter. There is a new dispute relating to the quantum of the second claim. A new file was opened to deal with the quantum issue. The new file reference is O43/19. Our office's last letter to you in the matter is dated 3 May 2019.
Please note that we have also written to the insurer and it is reviewing the matter. Our further advises will follow on receipt of its comprehensive response.
Yours faithfully,
Ayanda Mazwi
Senior Assistant Ombudsman.
