Not there when you need them

I am very displeased with the lack of service delivery on the side of Onepet. Please put on record that Onepet is caused great inconvenience to myself in failing to load a claim. I called in personally a week ago, and spoke to a consultant.

The matter was inappropriately handled. I called in once again, a week after my first attempt, spoke to another supervisor, and was informed that I was owing a certain amount. With my help, we investigated this amount, and were able to conclude that the amount owing was in fact incorrect. I do not dispute that the amount is owing. I do however believe that incompetence has been demonstrated by Onepet, in not handling this matter timeously. Furthermore, the calculation has been completely wrong.I query how many more mistakes have been made by this company.

This incompetence has caused my pet's medical management to be delayed by 3 weeks, as well as loss of pay from my personal part, as i took days off for the failed initial appointment of my pet, as well as time off to make the phone call to onepet to rectify this mistake.

I feel that an appropriate response from this company should include an apology in writing together with a reversal of a minimum of 3 months of my premiums paid.

so they have done an investigation, and concluded that the fault is with the oneplan company. They have thanked me for raising the issue, and closed the case. so if i were a fool, and did not raise the complaint, they would have happily carried on *****ing my money? i advice all oneplan product holders to carefully scrutinise the accounts. Where is the redress?

Hi Jupiter,

As per the feedback that you have received, the issue was resolved.

Regrettably, Oneplan is unable to offer you a monetary compensation as an appropriate response to the inconvenience you have suffered.

Please note in this regard that Oneplan is a Short-Term Insurance and the premiums paid by our clients are to ensure that their risk is covered. Your cover was never interrupted and you were still able to lodge claims or obtain refunds for claims. In terms of the Short-Term Insurance Act and FAIS Act, Oneplan is not at liberty to financially enrich our clients for reasons other than medical claims which are insured in terms of their policies.

Kind Regards,

The Oneplan Team

thank you for not doing an autoresponse. my cover was in fact interrupted, and i was forced to cancel my original vet appointment, since the claim was not successfully accepted by oneplan. Investigantion into the reason for the rejected claim, is what finally resulted in the resolution of the mistake on the part of oneplan.
