Unfair and unjust charges, unfair practice and shoody services

Been having problems with supplier since early December, cannot believe that increases are app**** to long standing clients with good track records and when you call back to get a quote from the operators as a new client you suddenly are afforded better pricing. I wanted to cancel this policy and all of a sudden you get offered all sorts of discounts to meet the new pricing and for them to retain their business. You get put through from pillar to post talking to persons that don't have authority to resolve or make decisions. Again this week my wife calls in and she is given the run around before she had enough and accepted a quote just so my daughter could get her new car. When I call in give my details then the operator remembers me go through the procedure and I'm advised verbally a lower quote, so I asked to speak to a supervisor and all of a sudden this quote cannot be offered to me. Its been 2 - 3 days still no finalization of problem, still haven't spoken to a manager. Even if you call back with better pricing forget getting the R500 back because you are an existing client. Read the fine print. You spend hours on the phone only to be more frustrated and to make your decision to move over even more easier.

What happened to giving the best to a customer, not for a customer to fight for the best.

Still awaiting feedback from some one.
This morning Clinton from retentions called my wife and I was asked to return his call. Not sure why he hasn't contacted me directly, when i call back on the number provided it goes to switch board and when I call in the operator wont put me through to him asking many questions. Again this is the level of professionalism I am faced as the operator wants to know Whats its in connection with even after me telling her numerous times I'm returning the call.

Hello Venothan

We sincerely apologise for the frustration!

Our client care manager contacted you and explained the different quotes you received,
Our sales advisor captured incorrect address details, which resulted in an incorrect premium value. A revision was done on your existing profile for you.

We fully understand your unhappiness. Internal discussion had been held with our advisor, as this transgression is viewed in a serious light.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to have discussed this unfortunate event,

Regards

Thank you for the reply. This habit of being unreliable and giving customers incorrect info and saying we apologize is unacceptable. The ombudsman will be consulted so will other media given that Outsurance puts itself as the best insurer yet there is no ethics, shown to loyal customers.
This mistake was made more than twice and accepted by the team.

We will be moving our business.
