Everything approved - YET no refund

We were in a car accident in April and the thrid party is by Santam. From our side, my insurance (which is Hollard) already paid all the bills and I paid the excess already in April to get my car back. We have been struggling as from April ( my brokers) for Santam to pay out the claim. everything was approved by Santam assessor and by my insurance. This is pathetic as there is just no feedback form Santam to my bro0kers. No email or phone feedback and this is getting ridicolous. You advertise you are the best, but you are up to *&^%. This has become an urgent matter and I want urgently feedback regarding to this claim.

We would require the Santam claim number to assist us in tracing the claim and request the appointed legal department to address and revert back with feedback.

Good day Stephan

Thank you fo rthe reply. I am not able to get the Santam Claim number but I have the third party policy number which will also be of help.

Please look at this and give urgently feedback as we are just not receiving any feedback with email or nobody answers their phones.

 *** – Santam 

My brokers is Eikenbosch Brokers: ***

Sort this out urgently as it is really getting ridicolous to wait so long for a small claim. 

Thank you
Alicia

Good day,

I have emailed you but appears email address incorrect.
Response below:

Dear Alicia, 
We have been in contact with our legal department in respect of this claim.Your insurers, Hollard, had been in contact with Santam’s legal department regarding this matter.
Their legal department had taken over your rights to act on your behalf and negotiate settlement with Santam’s legal team – this is called subrogation. This process is tedious and can be a long and cumbersome one.
As settlement offer was sent to the attorneys acting on behalf of Hollard, settlement offer was accepted and signed and completed document was emailed back earlier today.
The claim will now be sent for payment which normally takes between 5 to 7 working days.
We therefore recommend you liaise directly with Hollard’s legal division in respect of further queries or concerns you might have
