Telesure's misguided motto, being client focussed

In the beginning of August I had a mechanical failure on my Renault Duster. I am a policy holder at Auto & General, with a mechanical Warranty. I registered a claim and the responsible person, dealing with my claim was *** . I had my vehicle booked into an approved RMI workshop for assessment and repairs. I received the assessment report with photos of damaged components, which turned out to be a clutch failure. This I forwarded immediately on 11/9 to Lemogang, as were required of me. I requested acknowledgement of receipt, which I never got, also asking anything else was outstanding. No response. An online assessment were done on 16/9. On 23/9 I queried to get an update. Got response from Lemogang, still waiting for assessor's finding. An amount of R 11 746.50 was authorized for repairs, this after a quoted amount of R 28663.75 was submitted. No reasoning?explanation given for the reduction, which I then queried. Feedback from Lemogang was that the flywheel, master cylinder and accessories where excluded, which I queried. She returned with feedback that flywheel were excluded as policy state flywheel and not dual mass flywheel. This I queries as all cars have a flywheel, some just different versions thereof. Feedback was given, ok flywheel was now included and new approved amount was R 25,472.50. Repairs were done and on 29/9 the invoice were forwarded to Lemogang by the workshop and shortly after by myself as well, to ensure she receives it, to process the payment of the repairs. On 3/10, with no payment made yet, after a long struggle I managed to get hold of Lemogang, who said she was out of the office, for 1, 2, 3, or 4 days, not sure how long and that she only saw invoice now 3/10. She said that the garage are not on their payment list that she will pay money into my account. I asked if this will take another 4-5 days, to which she rep****, NO possibly by end of that same day else the 4/10. Well today is 6/10, now 14:00 and still no payment received. With a motto of being client focused, taking the stress away, I can surely say "everyone" at Telesure/Auto and General?TIH missed the mark totally. After several email requests, Hellopeter complaints and numerous attempts to get in contact, not once did anyone being a supervisor or manager get involved or onboard, telling me that this is actually how TIN operates. I, at some stage thought of being a self-appointed ambassador for Telesure to promote this good product, BUT has since changed my mind, to rather not do so. If this is an isolated incident I dare a manager to telephonic-ally contact me and try to convince me, else I will keep believing, TIH ain't the way to go for a warranty cover, for anyone. This whilst I still await payment. A real nightmare experience if you ask me.

I guess that info came from the same Lemogang who's service was so bad all along. If you didn't see for yourself, trust me when I say it was definitely not an immediate payment as I am still waiting, since 3/10 nothing in my bank yet, today being 6/10. Still waiting for a Supervisor or Manager's call.

The claim payment was received midnight last night, definitely not a direct payment, since Friday. However with the bad service I experienced, I still believe that there's no management involvement at Telesure and therefore the below par bad service, all against the company's motto. Someone(Xola Fynn) emailed me, saying they couldn't get hold of me, but let's see if some faith can be restored justifying me remaining true to Telesure.

Good day Mr B  Geustyn, 

As per feedback from our claims manager, he has been trying to reach you, however the calls are going to voicemail.

He has also requested a proof of payment to send to you as the payment for your claim has been made.

Kind regards,

Please read my comments above, I confirmed payment was received, I no longer need proof of payment. Unfortunately I will wait for a successful attempt so I can convince myself and others that management do exist and are aware of good or bad service, addressing it accordingly.

UPDATE!!! Management phoned me now, Xola Fynn, getting onboard with my matter and committing to rectifying the shortcomings which I experienced. I am grateful for that and willing to give this another chance. Things were put in place for future purposes and I believe this to be a isolated experience. Thank you Xola, for the outcome, thank you Telesure. I am ready to proceed as a happy customer.
