Unacceptable service

When I took out pet insurance I was assured that all claims will pay out within 48 - 72 hours. I lodged a claim on the 3rd February. Firstly I struggled as the email address on the claim form is not valid. I eventually got a claim nr on the app , also after a struggle. On the app its stated that a adviser will call me to finalise the claim. That however , as expected , did not happen. I had to call them to hear how far the claim is. On Monday I was told the the claim is sent to the relevent people , but since then I heard nothing and it's going for 96 hours. This is really unexpected and I demand answers. Outsurance is quick to take my money , but pathetic when it comes to paying out claims. The amount is R456 , which is a small amount. I don't want to think what will happen when the amount is a few thousand.

I just got a call from Outsurance that they are not going to pay my claim. I'm still waiting for the so called claim manager to call me and I'm sure that will also not happen. I fed up with excuse upon excuse for not paying. I'm just waiting for the rejection letter and then I'm going to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman for short term insurance. This was the last straw.

This is the first time that I can say that I received excellent service. Michelle was very helpful and we sorted the problem out very quickly and I was refunded. I'm happy to stay with Outsurance if this is the service I'm going to get in the future.
