I logged a claim last Wednesday for an item which was damaged by lightning.
Besides the claims administrator not responding to my mails, she was not particularly helpful or proactive.
I did the lion's share of her work as I looked for quotes and suppliers of the item to be replaced.
Last Friday it decided that they would be unable to source a replacement item and would instead pay out an amount to me, so that I could go out and buy a replacement.
This confirmation did not come easily, and I was having to constantly call or email the administrator.
She also never confirmed anything in writing other than sending one single response to a mail which I sent.
It has been a week since, and payment has only been done today.
I would like to know why there is such a disregard for customer service at the KZN M&F branch, or whether this is the general don't care attitude from your entire company.
I've previously dealt with Sanlam where I was paid out in two days, with nothing ever challenged.
This was a more painful experience than it needed to be.
If this is the norm, I would like to know so that I can look for a new insurance provider.
