Ooba Claim

I launch a lightning claim on 1 May 24. The alarm system was hit by lightning. I did follow up on 6 May 2024 with Katlego after I held the line for 10 minutes. He assured me the claim was approved and scheduled for payment. I had to wait 3 to 5 days and the money of the claim will be paid out. On Wednesday I did follow up and the response was that I must wait for the money to appear. On Thursday they told me that I had to sign a agreement and they would send it immediately. On Fryday I phoned again to find out what happening. I hold the line for 15 minutes just to be cut off. Fhoned again a bit later and the lady promised me that the agreement would be sent immediately for signing. Later in the afternoon, I phoned again just to hold the line. A lady promised to phone back and the agreement will be sent immediately. Nothing happened. On Monday this morning, I phoned again and spoke to Katlego again, who promised that he would send the agreement before noon. I scheduled people to install the alarm system for today without being able to pay them. Ooba put me in an orguite position and you can't rely on their word.

Good day. After I reported the incident to Hello Peter They came up with an explanation that they did not receive a Damage Report. I phoned them and they found the damage report and it's been escalated. Later they phoned me back to the state that the assessor, ( Katlego) rep**** that there was no rain on the 26th of April and the claim was rejected. The Damage report also does not state that its damaged by lightning. Hopefully there is somebody who can read to see the damage report stating clearly it was struck by lightning. I tried to speak to the Katlego guy with no luck.

Hi, This is one of the worst experiences I ever had with Insurance Companies. After an assessor (Katlego) claimed that it was not raining on the day of the event, and made me a **** to escalate a *****ulent claim and the fact that the Damage report does not state that the claim was lightning Damage, it was proof wrong. I could not speak to him. and now the claim is been escalated to another assessor with no name for evaluation. I followed up today just to hear that there is no progress and nobody can help me. One of the other complaints was answered with no response after their promise that the case would be handled with urgency. The claim was launched on 29 April with no clear answer till now.

Is there somebody that can help?
