Accident claim

I am not happy with the service and treatment pmd is giving me. On 15 march had an accident and i lodged the claim the next day on 16 March.

I waited for 15 days in total for them to validate my claim and was approved and i was told it will take only a day o r 2 to finalise the assessment on the car and finalise the claim.

I was informed on 4th April that claim is approved and it will take only a day or two to decide on the ways forward.

Its now the 10 day since the call and im sent from pillar to post. The last communication from the insurer is that they assessor is now sick and will only be back on monday. While i had spoke to this Angelo earlier today and he sounded fine to me and he told me that the quote will be ready by 10am today.

I was also told by Angelo that the engine was damaged and that the car is not drivable.

Just after 2pm the insurer tells me Angelo is off sick and will be back on monday for the quote.

Im am now sittng here 10 days later without a car and dsnt know when will i be sorted out. In total now its 25 days without a conclusion on this claim.

Im requesting that u assist in resolving this matter

Regards Tula Bekwa
