Stressful and Unreliable insurance company - Stay away...Im Warning you.

I got into an accident on the 31st December 2023. i filled my claim on the 2nd of of January 2024. According to PMD it takes upto 14 working days to conclude a claim.

I received a call from a Lady called Zukhanyo Kame 2 weeks after my claim confirming that they have concluded the claim and they will give me the outcome before end of business that day. She demanded my bank statement assuming that i did not pay my December premium and she realized that i paid the premium she then overturned the apparent outcome and told me the claim has been send back for further investigation. Now it has been 45 working days and they keep on lying to me telling me that it will be resolved in the next 48hrs but still nothing. They are trying by all means necessary to decline my claim from were i stand.

I this is the kind of Insurance company they are, i advice anyone who is looking for a reliable and stress free car insurance to stay away from this Company. They are busy asking me the same questions over and over hoping for a fault or a loophole to avoid paying out.

I'm still waiting and stressed about the whole situation.

You sent me a settlement letter which i had to sign and agree to, then later someone from client service called me and told me that the amount that you have to payout is incorrect. Your company decides when to reduce a payout, how is it possible that you made a mistake? I have requested for a manager who is in charge to call me, until now he hasn't called me back and i have been told that he is always in a meeting and he cant talk to me. I called to ask for the name of the manager and one of your staff Shelly Nyao said to me she is not allowed to disclose the name of the manager, what the hell!!! why is the so called "outcome manager" not calling me back to explain why my claim hasn't paid out even after i signed a letter of settlement ? why is it my problem that someone from your company is making errors in calculating how much needs to be paid out. I have sent back a document that i was requested to sign and i did. JUST PAYOUT MY CLAIM. I RETURNED THE SIGNED DOCUMENT ON MONDAY ALREADY. YOU CANT WAKE UP AND TELL ME THAT YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID I SHOULD SIGN FOR AS A FINAL OFFER AND COME BACK TO ME AND TELL ME IT WAS A MISTAKE.

PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA, I URGED YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS INSURANCE COMPANY, THEY ARE A HEADACHE AND STRESSFUL. NOT FORGETTING TO MENTION HOW *********** AND PRIDEFUL THE STAFF IS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A MATTER OF RACE OR WHAT, BUT STAY AWAY.
