Disappoint at very bad service

Please don't take an insurance with PMD. They cant even send an assessor to assess a car. Apparently they need to tow the car to their approved Panel Beaters. Dial Direct, Budget and Outsurance are better companies. I cant even get feedback on their escalation and dispute process. In 10 days I have called the call centre more than 50 times. The rating is actually zero and not 1 star. They never respond to emails even if the ombudsman is included. Before signing up if you do ask them for individual emails and verify their response. I seem only able to obtain generic emails. Wonder if they are POPI compliant.

They also ask for stupid things like your car service history and pictures of areas that are not part of the accident. They dont request all information in one call or email. When you call them to confirm emails received they will waste your time and calls looking for the information.

Still waiting for a person other than the call centre to respond to me. I have requested for my policy documents and evidence of the policy and procedures that was sent to me. Do you understand the term - Non repudiation? What is the process of escalating to the ombudsman? Can you communicate the internal dispute process? Can you provide me with my records of the 40 plus calls I made to you? Can you provide me with a list of all the other individuals that are still waiting for a decision?

Note I have offered to transport the assessor to view the car at my own cost.

Does anyone have the email address of the Heads of the Legal or Claims department at PMD?
