They are playing guess game with my claim

I have been paying my premiums without hesitation, been loyal to the insurance for over a year. But when it comes to claiming they decide to reject my claim based on a information I don't know how they got. They are claiming I was driving at over 80 in a 60km zone, and they found that out by measuring which didn't happen at on the scene and by wheel marks which I am sure are not mine as they are so many wheel marks on that road. The investigator they sent didn't even look at the car no one in fact came to check the car, all they did was to deem the car written on top without coming to see or even inspect it. They then send a letter saying they explained everything and they only thing they explained is the speed nothing more. No road marking on the road are explained. I will still dispute this it dire doesn't end here

Land your call centre team is the worst, I spoke to 2 consultants one hanged up on me and the other just kept quiet when I need details on the person allocated to my claim as they had promised to send them via message the finance house needed these details and they didn't bother helping me out. I still have one car insured with PMD and I will be taking my business elsewherex I cannot be begging people I pay to have my car insurred and they act like they are rendering free services to me. I need answers from PMD first before I involve the ombudsman or lawyers in all this
