Appalling service and high excess

I lodged a claim for my garage motor which stopped functioning due to a power surge. First the claims adviser Lungelo Phewo was not helpful nor efficient. I had to follow up with him about the assessment feedback. In the calls he always thought I lodged a claim for my geyser and had to remind him it was the garage motor. Th worst part is the excess amount. R4500, while the electrical company quoted a total of R5900, for the motor and labour of installation. How am I expected to pay 76% of the total amount. I may as well cancel my policy and pay for everything out of my pocket. Yet they have the audacity to debit my account monthly. I haven’t even claimed in the past 3 years. When I expressed how unhappy I am about the excess amount, *********** Lungelo transferred me to “Client Care” department. Busi Molefe was the consultant I spoke to. Had zero care or expressed absolutely no concern at my dissatisfaction instead was very arrogant. I am currently shopping around for a new insurance company.

Good afternoon Vuyiswa,

Thanks for raising your concerns with us.

Our claims manager Tshepiso has been in contact with you to explain the excess and reasons for the increase.

The service transgressions raised are quite concerning and will be dealt with internally.

We apologise for the poor service you received from us as this is not the type of service we want for our clients.

Regards,
OUTsurance
