SANTAM MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION - CLAIM NO: *** NOT ATTENDED 2 MONTHS LATER

I was involved in a collision, with someone who is covered with Santam. Because I wasn’t at fault I communicated that their insurance (Santam) would be involved in repairing my car. This incident occurred 9 September. Recently I was asked to fill in the paperwork and submit a litany of images as part of the claim process. After a back and forth of many emails, eventually I sent the requested paperwork 26 October. Till date I have not heard from the people who are handling my case namely; ***, and *** and ***. Who seem to either be on leave when I communicate or will send me once off acknowledgements or request paperwork that I need to fill in, thenonwards will not communicate a way forward. I am frustrated and livid with the quality of service and often the lack of communication the accident division was has within themselves. More importantly, is this work ethic a norm for the company? This sure, is a lesson for any future claim whether it is accident related or life cover.

However the claim number you provided is incorrect and does not refer to a motor vehicle accident.

Good day Fiona,

The claim number does not refer to a vehicle claim so is not the correct claim number.
Most probably the reasons why these individuals did not react as the claim number is not correct -- they should have at least acknowledged your emails which is not acceptable.

I would suggest you reach out to the client's broker and request the correct claim number please -- the one you provided is for a claim for a camera.

Thank you and kind regards
Client care
