Not happy with Service received

<p>I've been a very loyal client with Outsurance for many years, however I was in an accident on the 10/03/17. Whilst I have no complaint about how my actual claim was handled - what I do have a problem with is finding out that a premium will still be deducted on the 28/03/2017 even though my claim was supposedly settled on the 15/03/17. Please note that moneys were paid to MFC as well as myself on this day.</p> <p>So imagine my surprise when I called Outsurance this afternoon to obtain a quote for the new vehicle I've purchased AND I then found out to my shock that the account actually has not been resolved by your "Resolutions Department". The call centre agent then casually informs me that "yes Mamm, a payment will be deducted tomorrow". This on top of now quoting me 3 x more on the new car because my profile has been affected.</p> <p>Well loyalty obviously means nothing to Outsurance and I will be taking my business elsewhere. Why is it that I am held accountable for an accident that was clearly not my fault? I can tell you now that I've disclosed the accident to 2 other insurers and they have both quoted me a 1/4 of what you now expect me to pay.</p> <p>To deduct monies for a car that is actually been with your salvage department for all this time is simply not acceptable.</p> <p> </p>

Hi Kelvin, apologies I'm in training today and my phone was on silent.

It was up to me to contact your claims department to cancel this policy and I've been told that it will take 30 days for the refund to take place which is simply unacceptable.

Hi Chantal,

Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention. Lerato our claims manager did contact you to apologize as this was an error on our side. We can release the refund immediately but we need you to send us a bank statement. I will email you my contact details and you can send the statement to me and I will ensure the refund is paid the moment I receive it. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Regards, Kelvin
