Hello 721modipadi,

Please be advised that the repairs to your father's vehicle have been authorised. The policy incepted 28 January 2016. The damage to the insured vehicle occurred on 5 February 2016. The reason for the delay is because no premium was received for the month of February 2016 which is payable in advance. On request, premium was received on 10 February 2016 and there after administration of the claim could proceed. Further, due to legislative requirements such as the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, Policyholder Protection Rules, we may only confirm or disclose details with the policy holder. We apologise for any inconvenience caused herein.
Kind regards
SAU Team
