OUTSURANCE ISSUING "UPDATED" POLICIES WITHOUT MUTUAL AGREEMENT AND YOUR CONSENT

I noticed that my total annual premium had increased by a whopping R300 and I called to see if we could reduce the amount especially since two cars are going into storage. I got really frustrated with the agent and wanted to end the conversation as she wanted to up the premium by R 200 on one of the vehicles as I suggested changing the primary driver. When I said I would withdraw that vehicle altogether from the account she said she would call me back in 20 minutes when I had calmed down to resume the conversation. She called back during a Loadshedding and I did not have access to my computer and asked her to call me the following day. She mumbled something about having spoken to the Actuarial Department but I could not hear her clearly and asked that she call me the following day. Next thing I find an updated policy in my inbox and I am now paying an extra R 500 a month on my total policy ! I did not agree to any changes in my policy and I had not yet discussed the adjustments that needed to be made on the rest of the policy ? which means that outsurance will just deduct that amount from my account come 1 November. I now need to waste a whole lot more time on the phone to correct this assumption not to mention that the customers interests and needs are not taken into account at all. I subsequently got a quote from another company on the Vehicle in question for R 475 less ! (from R783.00 to R 308.00) If Outsurance can overcharge me on one Vehicle I cannot imagine what they are doing on the rest of my account. I am cancelling my entire contract after 15 years with Outsurance . They don't deserve my business or my loyalty.

Hello Mimi A

You have our sincere apologies for a very frustrating service experience, not at all what we wish for any client.

Our client care manager contacted you and explained our internal procedures as well as the increase of premium after regular driver details changed.
She confirmed the changes she has since made and sent you an updated schedule.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further enquiries.

Regards
OUTsurance
