Outsurance - Pathetic service

Put in a claim for my fridge/freezer this morning, purchased +-3 years ago for R2900 which was at that time a claim for loadshedding and as there wasn't another block for "I don't know" in the section for reason I ticked the surge/dip in electricity. Because I had said surge/dip they want to charge me in excess of R4000 for excess. Explained that I did not know whether it was that or why it had broken down, they then decided they had to send out a represenatative to check it out which they tell me cannot be done for 24 hrs, this is unacceptable. I am a pensioner and it costs me a fortune in premiums every month and have been with them in excess of 20 years and in that time I have paid them, up to now, and amount of R182 105 and claimed only R59 000 according to them which is only 33,5% of what I have paid. I also lodged a complaint regarding the time that it took for them to return a call and in the end phoned them again and was advised that they had tried, which they had not as checked and neither had I received another email which he claimed he had sent. Needless to say I am not a very happy client

An hour ago I got this "private" reply from Outsurance
"We are so sorry about your entire stressful claims experience!

The matter was escalated to our claims management team. Our claims manager will call and assist you."

Needless to say I have not heard from them at all, so much for the escalation to the management team, the only escalation has been to my BP and stress levels

Thank you to Ian (didn't catch his surname) one of the managers overseeing the claims department for sorting this problem out It’s sad though that one has to go to such extremes to get a reply and for resolving the issue
