Awful customer service

I was a client with OUTsurance. I took their comprehensive cover with the hope that I had adequate cover. Unfortunately I bumped into someone's car. That's when all my troubles began. The other party doesn't have insurance and I assured him that he can claim from my insurance as I had third party cover of up to 5 million. To say that the process has been painstaking is putting it mildly. I inquired from early on from the claims adviser regarding the process. I got a number from the first adviser which I subsequently forwarded to the other gentlemen. Days later he called me back and told me that he couldn't get through. My file was moved to a second adviser. Told her the whole story and she gave me a different number and told me that the other party's claim will be automatically loaded. Guess what. It wasn't! Looking like a fool in front of a clearly agitated male I made calls and eventually got through to a gentleman that told me that the past 2 advisers told me hogwash and gave me forms that I forwarded to the really agitated 3rd party. He filled the forms and forwarded them accordingly. Needless to say the contact numbers that I was given again were utterly useless. I am stuck with a really agitated guy whose car I banged Mid October and I'm on the verge of going to the microlenders so that I can pay cash for something OUTSurance assured me that I will be covered for. I am getting constant calls and threats on an almost daily basis from the guy who just wants his car fixed! I know government departments that are run more efficiently that team OUTsurance!

Good day,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Lebo our legal manager informed you that the 3rd party needs to provide you with the reference number he got when he emailed the documents. He discussed the process and the way forward with you.

Thanks, Kelvin
