RCS the ********

I have been in touch with RCS and the affiliated insurance company that underwrites their credit life cover now for two months. Due to COVID 19 I have been put on no work no pay policy so contacted RCS for claim forms to submit a claim under the retrenchment scheme. Sporadically one gets an answer out of them. They eventually sent me a mail with no attachment for a claim. My reply for a resend is still pending. Eventually I downloaded the for myself and submitted the claim to both RCS and the insurance company. No response of course!! I sent mail after mail asking for an update and even said I will put a stop payment on my account if they present the debit order. Of course they presented the debit order so I sent it back hoping to get a response. It worked. After explaining the situation again the lady said she would make a note and I would get a email the same day confirming the claim and noting my claim. Ha ****** ha, no email and no confirmation. Now I get another sms to say I am in arrears and I can pay a double installment. I tried calling the offices but the call is conveniently cut off after ringing for a few seconds. Why bother adding (not selling) me the insurance if you do not intend allowing me to claim. I have a valid policy and a valid claim but no way of speaking to someone to resolve it. RCS and your insurance you are a **** and useless. I will take you to the ombudsman if my credit rating is affected. All my emails are available to prove the timeline

I received a reply from RCS looking for more information which was duly sent through. It hasn’t been acknowledged and I have received another statement asking me to make arrangements as I am in ARREARS. I will be checking the credit bureau soon to see if I have been adversely affected. If so, I will be going legal as well as social media

After receiving the first reply and the promised email for another form to be sent in I promptly sent it back completed and the waiting game began again. Weekly since then I have mailed both RCS as well as the Credit Life company but to no avail. This morning I checked my bank account and of course the useless individuals have taken a double debit off. As promised in my mails I will send this one back too. WHEN IS RCS OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY THEY DEAL WITH GOING TO ACT? PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME YOU ARE SWAMPED BY COVID 19 AS THIS IS WELL OVER 60 DAYS TO ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there anyone out there wanting to do a class action with me against RCS and the insurance company as this is now my route. I am seeing attorneys within the next few days. What a disgrace.
