Fine print

It's all in the fine print, If a structure that stood for 20 plus years all of a sudden start cracking, and after a long investigation by a Geotechnical Engineer blame roots from a tree in the neighbours yard that was removed. That is no excuse cause in the fine print roots and things happening over a period of time is not covered. My claim is its not my fault. their claim roots are not covered does not matter where they come from

***3*001 / ***3*001*008. I was advised to work through the Ombudsman, which I did not want to do but I did and it did not helped in any case, because they kept throwing the fine print at me. And SANTAM made it clear they are not going to pay.

Not sure that you understand what you have read about the Ombudsman's response in my last reply, but I did say there that they agree with you that I was not covered by your insurance. Like I said it is in the fine print. although my claim still is that the tree was not on my property. But nobody gave me a positive answer when damage is caused by something from the neighbour. But you know what I am a single person that will sit with the damage forever and you are a big company that can sponsor events an can run adverti*****ts in magazines and on TV, so this is what it is and even your response get a 1 from me.
