Lack of response from pineapple

Hello, I'm typing this in deep sadness. For those wanting to join pineapple. Please remember. They do not phone you, nor can you phone them. There is simply no number available.

I've recently claimed for my cellphone on the 13th and sent through all my documents, since pineapple only works via text and nothing else. It's been a real mission sending through all required information. However, all information has been sent.

The lady handling the claim on the pineapple app, is called Kaashifa, I am not sure if that is a real name or a alias. She messaged me this morning on the pineapple app, (15th Jul) and tells me "Thank for your documents I see it"

And then another message saying " We cannot validate your claim without receiving all the required information, Please sent it" .

I am so shocked at this message because now it's been 2 Days without a cellphone. And she's saying that I must still send the stuff through.

Waiting for a response from pineapple is sincerely very difficult and impossible to connect with them directly. They message you, if they want to, otherwise, you are left on the chat to be waiting for hours on end.

If any members of the public would like the copy of the chat, to know how I have battled to seek assistance in this claim. I will gladly provide it to you.

If any members of pineapple wishes to make my experience more pleasant, please call me on *** or alternatively please check my policy with my ID number (***) and kindly provide me feedback via pineapples app.

This is certainly wrong of pineapple insurance to not allow any calls in or out. Their messaging service is not effective and reliable, thus leave clients like me in the lurch without any suitable or satisfactory information regarding my claim

Should pineapple respond to me and give me assistance with my claim, I shall remove this post, and post a suitable 5 star review. Until I'm assisted this review will remain here

Hi Nicholas,

I am so sorry to hear of your frustration, this is definitely not in line with the standards we pride ourselves on.

I'll forward the details onto the relevant teams that will then get in touch with you.

Thank you for the feedback and patience on this.

Kind regards,
Pineapple Team

Pineapple thank you kindly for your response. The response was better on hello Peter than on your actual app. Never the less, I'm grateful to have recieved a response. Please be advised I've been asked for my receipt which I purchased a few items from the garage on the day I was ******. Pineapple has asked me for this, in which I sent a airtime receipt with date and times visable as well as the garages name. I cannot contact the garage to get the receipt for the other stuff I had purchased. The garage is closed, and out of fuel and will be remaining closed for a good few days. I have sent that receipt of airtime through which I went to purchase, I sincerely hope this is proof enough. I'm not going to wait any more days, until the garage is open to get a duplicate of that receipt. Please can pineapple understand that in this time in south Africa with the looting. It is not safe to be asking me to request a duplicate from the garage, if pineapple feels its really important to the claim, perhaps they can request it from the garage directly, but I cannot be inconvenienced anymore simply because of a receipt of purchased goods. It will be a very long time before I'm assisted. And kindly requesting pineapple to use the slip of airtime purchased, that I sent through.
