Hello Mohlalaisaac,

Thank you for bringing your disappointment with our claims process to our attention. We apologise as we understand how frustrating this must be for you.

This is particularly troubling as we pride ourselves on the many commendations we receive regarding our efficient claims process.

Due to the substantial discrepancy in the repair costs between the Insurer’s initial assessment report and the quotation subsequently submitted by you, the insurer has, in order to ensure the accuracy of the repair costs of your damaged vehicle, requested an independent assessor to review this information. We currently await the independent assessor’s report.

As stated above, the matter is currently being dealt with internally and should be promptly resolved. However, you have simultaneously referred the matter to the Office of the Ombudsman for Short Term Insurance. Under these circumstances, we will attempt to resolve your enquiry ourselves in the usual course. If unable to do so promptly, we may be obliged to await the findings of the Ombudsman which we shall of course respect, but which will likely take some more time.

We assure you of our best endeavours to resolve this matter promptly.

Kind Regards,

The PMD Team
