Poor communication and unexplained premium hikes

I am extremely disappointed with the current level of service from Pineapple. My recent monthly premium was debited at a significantly higher amount, over R1,200 more than my agreed-upon rate, without any prior notification or explanation.

While I have tried to resolve this through their digital channels, the experience has been incredibly frustrating. There is no direct customer care line to speak to a human being, and despite multiple "back and forth" emails and assurances that someone would contact me, I am still waiting for a phone call.

I have specifically requested a call during a set window (12:00 – 14:00) to resolve this discrepancy and arrange a refund, yet my requests continue to be ignored. A digital-first insurance model only works if the support team is actually responsive when things go wrong.

I am still waiting for Pineapple to reach out and fix this unauthorised debit.

Reviewer Update

While I appreciate the apology and the commitment to improving your service standards, I must highlight that I have already received a call from a consultant who assured me that my refund would be processed and paid.
Despite that assurance, I am still waiting for the funds to reflect. I hope your investigation can prioritise the immediate release of this refund to rectify the matter once and for all.I look forward to a prompt resolution.
