Friendly enough, but completely inefficient and ineffective service

29/09 - I log a building insurance claim for a water leak in the wall, evidenced by blistering paint. Nomsa is assigned. A few min later re-assigned to Nunu. National Leak detectors appointed same day. They come out, and can't locate the leak with standard methods - diagnose it as a likely sweat leak. Say they will motivate for a thermal camera. Takes a couple of days. They send another team with the camera. They also can't pinpoint the leak - also diagnose as a likely sweat leak. They want to come back with gas leak detection e****ent, which also needs further authorisation. I call Nunu and tell her it's a waste of money for Outsurance, as it's obvious in which general vicinity the leak is. She agrees, and appoints DRM to come and sort out the plumbing. A team comes out on 09/10 - wants to start work the next day (Sat). I ask for them to rather come back on Mon - they say they'll come first thing. Mon morning comes, no-one arrives. I call the team leader - he says there has been an issue with the office. I call Nunu. She calls DRM. The plumber who was supposed to come resigned over the weekend, but they didn't think to let anyone know. DRM scrambles a 2nd team to us same day (12/10) - they do the job. Now someone esle has to come and patch, paint and tile. Nunu appoints and then drops 3 different contractors over the next couple of days, as none of them can do the tiling anytime soon. I tell her I'd rather get someone to at least sort out the passage, and we would wait for the tiling in the bathroom. We're now 2 weeks in. On 16/10 Craig from Prescor comes, says Outsurance has appointed them to do the tiling. I ask him if they can't do the whole job? He says 'of course'. He measures everything up, and says he'll submit a quote, and asks me to ask Outsurance to rather appoint them to do the whole job. Today I ask Nunu for a call-back. No-one calls, so I call. Nunu is not in. Paul Bothma is assigned to the case. He calls me. I explain everything. He says he'll call Prescor and will get back to me. He hasn't called back. We are now 1 day short of 3 weeks in!!!

Hello Peter

We cannot blame you for expressing your dismay at all! Your service experience up to now has been totally contradictory to an experience we wish for any client,

Paul has since contacted you with an apology for the disappointing service. New arrangements have now been made with an alternative service provider. They are starting with repairs today.
Our claims advisor, Palesa will monitor progress until all repair work has been completed.

Thank you for your further patience.

Regards
OUTsurance
