Ridiculous increase of 48.33%

I have received my schedule showing my annual increase on my premiums from R1884 to R2794.57 giving me a 48.33% increase, R910.57 increase a month, an increase of R10926.84 per year! Absurd!<br> When phoning the call centre, they told me that the normal inflation increase was applicable as well as a 35% increase per claim that I logged. I have logged 2 claims which gives me a 70% increase.<br> Seriously, that is ridiculous. I am being penalised twice, considering that I had to forfeit my Outbonus because of my claims and now I'm given this massive increase on top of an already sizable excess that I had do pay both times. I have complained to an agent who came back to me saying that the best deal that the actuarial department can do for me is R2638.90 per month. A discount of R155.67/R1868.04 a year. Please tell me this is a joke, as this really is'n much of a discount now is it? I still have to pay R754.90 a month extra. No average household just pulls that kind of extra cash out of a hat especially not in our difficult times. It's madness to think that the average person should accept this. So disappointed by this considering that I've always had good service and rates from Outsurance.
