WORST INSURANCE COMPANY

Upon registering a claim for food detoriation, first week in July due to power outage. I was informed I did not have any active policies by the claims department, although I explained that my premium did go off, I was directed to customer service which was a nightmare. Eventually after I insisted I will provide my bank statement as proof and logged a complaint, weeks later my policy was re- instated. Which was my main concern to have resolved incase any major event happens and am not covered. Finally when I registered the claim, I was asked for photos whereby i explained myself to the consultant what billing issues I experienced and she totally understood ( check call recording) as to why I didn't take pictures at the present time. However I did find my receipts for all the items I was claiming for, which is sufficient evidence. Instead my claim was rejected, even after informing her, even if I could take pictures on the day of the incident, ( early morning)the food was disposed off due to health hazards, to my elderly mum and 2 kids, since I only get home 6pm daily. Please advise what is the timd frame for risking an individual health besides the awful smell? In a matter as such. I have been sending numerous e-mails to senior management and complaints department yet received no feedback as instructed to do So if I want my claim to be re- evaluated. STANDARD BANK INSURANCE WILL SAY ANYTHING NOT TO PAY OUT A CLAIM...WORST INSURANCE COMPANY BY FAR

IN THE MANNER IN WHICH THIS COMPLAINT HAD BEEN HANDLED, WAS NOT PROFESSIONAL. I WAS NOT CONTACTED IN PERSON YET STANDARD BANK INSURANCE BASED THEIR DECISION ON THE CLAIMS DEPARTMENT VERSION THAT LED TO MY CLAIM BEEN REJECTED. AS PER YOUR YOUR RULING MY CLAIM WAS VALIDATED, WHICH IS INCORRECT. ON THE 3RD JULY MY CLAIM WAS NOT REGISTERED BY THE CLAIMS DEPARTMENT. I WAS INFORMED I DID NOT HAVE ANY POLICIES ACTIVE. I WAS THEN REFFERED TO YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICES DEPARTMENT WHEREBY THE CONSULTANT INSISTED THE DOUBLE DEBIT WAS FOR PRO -RATA AGAIN UNPROSSESIONAL, UNTIL I INSISTED I WILL SEND MY BANK STATEMENT AS PROOF, EVEN AFTER DOING SO THE CONSULTANT COULD NOT ASSIST ME. UNTIL I LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT AND AFTER INVESTAGATING THIS BILLING ERROR MADE BY SATNDARD BANK I WAS THEN ABLE TO REGISTER A CLAIM ONLY ON THE 20TH OF JULY !!!!!I DID NOT GET AN UPDATED POLICY TILL NOW WHERE ANY CLAUSE STATES I NEED TO PROVIDED PHOTOS UNDER THE FOOD ITEMS LOSS...STANDARD BANK IS BY FAR THE WORST INSURANCE COMAPNY....
