MISREPRENTATION OF WEAR AND TEAR PRODUCT AS AN INSURANCE

i m very disappointed in the way Rain is treating their loyal customers, i've been with rain for more than three years.two months ago i took out a contract for two loop phones for my two boys and the sales consultant advise that i must take out insurance it will benefit me if anything happen to the phones and i agree to that. last week saturday during a rugby game at my boys school, Hoerskool Pretoria Noord ******* broke the door of their dressing room and stole 17 cellphones and one of those belong to my boy. the school open a police case and they supply us with the case number,i went to RAIN shop in Queenswood, just to be told that they don't offer theft insurance only wear and tear insurance, i have to pay R8000 for the lost of the phone then they will issue me with a new one to continue with the contract. Remember the loopphone is the property of Rain and im renting it out, how come they don't insure their own property for theft if i was aware of this i would have never took those phones.if that's their policy they need to reconsider it ,it is not a fair practice. Even to get hold of RAIN is a problem and eventually when they answer the phone you not sure if you speaking to a robot or to a person, the same with the whatsapp messages , i even tried to send them an email up to date nothing not even an acknowledgement

hi, that's not what the sales person explained to me, i'm not willing to pay R8000, why am i supposed to pay for normal wear and tear o f the phone while its not belonging to me ,yes if i broke the phone or is ****** like in this case , what is rain paying towards its own phone. RAIN is a big company why does it not have insurance for their properties that they rent out , please name one company that's in the same business like Rain and big like Rain who does not have insurance for theft. usually they are optional and if decided not to take than ill bear the consequences, in my case the sales person ask i i need insurance i agreed and i was under the impression it covers theft.
if we can not agree amicably, kindly advise what is the procedure to cancel all my business with rain

Remember no one told me about LOOP PHONE CARE I was told about insurance then I assume that is an insurance that covers theft like the other retailers who are in the same business as Rain, but if you not willing to come to the party its OKAY, remember what goes around comes around ,please cancel all my contracts i have with you guys.

with that arrogant attitude of yours, you running this Company RAIN to the drain, i hope the management take note, Rain has lost one loyal client in me due to misrepresentation, instead of addressing the issue, so that it never happened again, you remain on your stand.
