Zero service delivery

One would think to use OSTI when you experienced a poor insurance claim related matter, which would frustrate most people. We are encouraged by the insurer to use OSTI just to become even more frustrated by the service levels from OSTI. The feedback is absolutely ridiculous. Whenever you call in for an update, the same response is given. I was told that I would receive feedback or a recommendation on findings within 30 days, well it has been 30 days and there is still no feedback. After calling in this morning the person with whom I spoke to can still not provide me with any further feedback on my case? What is the point of this?

Dear Andrea,

Thank you for your feedback. 

I had a look at your file, and I can only imagine how upsetting the damage to your property must be. We apologise for adding to your frustration.

I discussed the matter with Hannes, the Assistant Ombudsman dealing with the matter, this morning and he will be in touch. I will also send you an email so that you have my contact details, should you require further support.

Kind regards,
Marilize Blignaut
Customer Experience Manager

Hi Marilize

Still no feedback from Hannes, I called in again and just receive the same feedback as always. I have emailed him on Friday and no response

Hi Andrea. 

I see Hannes emailed you a few minutes ago. Please let me know if you did not receive it.

Thanks,
