No assistance from Standard bank Home insurance

On Wen the 11/11/2020 I had a burst pipe in my Driveway , From 08:00 -12:00 I was trying to get hold of them. I used up R200 with the long hold. I called the emergency number on the bank web page only to be told that that is the incorrect number and they will put me through to the correct number , after A LONG HOLD AGAIN MY AIR TIME RUN OUT , I had to go and purchase more again I called was told wrong number and given a number ending in 444 . I then went on the Standard bank web page and sent them a message asking some one to call me , To date no one has ,I was able to get assistance from a PVT plumber .\ Second point I am sure what he charged was in fact lower than what my acces would have been, They quick to want to take ones money but when you need help you cant get hold of them.. I am sure this is just a legal con

I am changing my business from STANDARD BANK INSURANCE AND OTHER PRODUCTS AND I WILL ADVICE ALL THOSE THAT I MEET TO DO THE SAME .
i had the issue with a burst water pipe on Wednesday 11/11/2020 Morning .I Tried the whole Morning on Wen to get assistance from the emergency line I even sent a email To try get assistance cost me R150 in calls . On Tue i again tried still no luck , I then got a PVT plumber in to assist ,Cost R900 was sorted in a few minutes ( he is a registered plumber )
I now get a call on Sunday 15/11/2020 11:06 AM To get a plumber out . I then get quoted R1300 ACCES FEE . WHY DO WE HAVE THIS THEVING INSURANCE MY ACCES WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR .
Standard bank insurance you are a bunch of legal con artistes
Remember the power of word of mouth , THIS TIME it will be working against you and preventing other people been ripped of by you lot .

Right we now almost 7 Days since the main incident and all i get is a Email offering apologies .
No phone call ..just a email.
Standard bank Insurance your service is pathetic
I hope that folks see these public replays and like me decide to take away my business ,
Clients lost is money gone money gone is retrenchment
