POOR SERVICE FROM PRIME MERIDEAN DIRECT

On the 3rd of April 2018 I had an accident. I went to the police station to do an accident report, reported the accident to PMD on the 4th. I was told that their claims department was busy and they only returned to me on the 7th. After I filled in and sent them claim forms, they required me to sign forms from vodacom and mtn so that they can use my details to trace where I was on the time of the accident and whether there was actually an accident in that aerea on that day. I did that even though I do not understand why do I have to go such a long route while I have an accident report.

Ever since I submitted those forms they never called me, I am the one who keeps on calling them to follow up, they keep on telling me they are waiting for responce from Vodacom since mtn couldnt help them with my details as the sim is not registered on my name. On the 25th they deducted the premium money as usual but no communication with me. The when I called yesterday they still told me they are waiting for Vodacom, it doesnt seem like they even bother to follow up with them.

I am highly dissapointed on them. I find them very helpless and ********. How can they rely on cellular networks in order to do the right thing for their customers? Its disgusting. I am fuming angry.
