Bad service at the hands of the Prime Meridian Direct or PMD

I once had an insurance with Prime Meridian Direct in 2015 for my Dodge Calibre. I was unfortunately involved in car accident in 2017. I was advised by PMD to get 3 quotes from their service providers, all of which quoted me over R70k and PMD was ready to pay only R12000.00. This was a comprehensive policy when I took it. I humbly requested them to give me that money on condition that I wouldn't come later to reclaim from them. I did this because there were panel beaters who were ready to charge me less than R5000.00! But their service providers wanted an arm and leg for that. It felt like a rip-off. I eventually discontinued with them empty handed but with a sore heart. Now, I have a distasteful feeling against them whenever I see or hear them. I cannot refer anyone to PMD, they are inhumane. My car is still unfixed since then but it is moving with those scars, a reminder of bad customer relations at PMD. I feel like I can burst into tears and extreme anger.However, God is my guide to persevere these attrocities from this firm.

Dear Victor T, 

We are surprised to learn of your displeasure as we have already addressed all these concerns some time ago. Having not heard from you in three years, we understood the matter to be resolved. 

The product you chose is a specific risk cover that provided a monthly growing cover depending on the plan you choose. As explained to you at the purchase of your policy, any costs over the growing benefit amount would remain for your own account.

At PMD we pride ourselves in ensuring that repairs performed to vehicles are of excellent quality at a reasonable cost with only our client's safety in mind. Our Market Conduct Team will contact you again to provide you with more clarity hereon. 

You will no doubt be delighted to learn that PMD has introduced an affordable and innovative comprehensive product with a unique excess that reduces to zero over time!

Assuring you of our continued best endeavours on your behalf.
