Disgruntled client

On 18 July 2023 I had a house break in and my vehicle was ****** among various house old contents. It was quite a traumatic experience for me and to add to the trauma, the claims process took over a month and a half to resolve. In that time I suffered further inconveniences whereby I had to return the rental car after 30 days due to policy and was left stranded without a car as I waited for settlement. In addition, I paid 2 months of car instalments after my car was ******. I called Outsurance and they said the bank will refund me. The bank was only settled after a month and a half and they said Outsurance should refund me. I am now in a financial loss position and Outsurance is refusing to assist me. Rightfully Outsuarnce should reimburse me as they had the benefit of a lower settlement amount as a result of 2 payments made by me to the bank after the incident reported date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I've spoken to several claims managers and I keep getting the same response but no resolution. Please assign somebody who is a special matter expert and can assist me and not merely send me from pillar to post.

Hello Judy

Further to our private response to you in which we apologised for the extended validation process of the burglary claim as well as the settlement amount on your vehicle, we are pleased to confirm our claims advisor finalised the matter.
The finance bank is responsible to refund you the amount, as they debited the installment after our settlement letter was received. We managed to receive confirmation of this from them and you have been included in the correspondence.

Regards
The OUTsurance Team

Thank you. I confirm the same. It's a pity that this had to get to this point in order to fast track resolution.

After 18 long years with Outsurance, I have unfortunately cancelled my policy and signed up with another service provider. This is based on the bad experience and unfair treatment regarding my new vehicle policy. My only wish is that your other loyal clients are treated better.

We are sorry about the long time it took and finalise the claim, Judy. This is an experience we don't wish for our clients and again apologise for the frustration.
