My claim number: AAN139763 I rated 1, because there is no zero option I am very bitter and in all the years l have been dealing with insurance companies, l have never felt this way before. I feel so strained from the experience l have received from the customer services than the accident itself My life has been on hold for 2 weeks plus now after my accident. I have never received a single phone call to update me on the progress of my accident claim. I have been the one calling and chasing. It’s very clear the staff have no clue what they’re doing. I get put on hold each time l call for more than 45 minutes and when l finally get thru to someone, my call gets transferred and then gets cut off. My main issues; 1. The staff have no clue what they’re doing. I Request for a simple information on the progress of my claim. They just transfer the call or cut the phone off 2. No phone call from The AA to update me on the progress of my claim 3. I receive different information each time l call. I was told the liability for my accident was split fault. I called last week and l was told the liability is now the third party fault. Which one is it?? 4. Personal items l left in my car - sat nav, tyre pressure pump, box of disposable hand gloves, 2 perfumes - were removed from my car. The accident happened just before 3pm, on my way to work. I left for work leaving my car on the side road. The AA sent a towing car to tow my car. The tow driver came into my workplace just after 11pm, to pick up my car keys from me. I had no time to remove anything from car as it was getting close to midnight. I called and requested to get these items back as my car has been declared a total loss. I was directed to Sandwich, a 45 miles journey from my home. I got to Sandwich and my car has already been stripped of my personal items. I have called and emailed and received no reasonable response as to were my items were 5. I attempted to swap my new car reg with my existing policy. A simple thing to do, so l thought. This seemed like such an impossible task as my calls kept being dragged along until they finally put the change thru yesterday 6. Customer care is non existent. If l had not been calling, clearly no one would have called me to update me on what is going on 7. Different phone numbers for different departments. No clear information as to which number to call 8. I sent in the dashcam footage of my accident to The AA in USB stick, in a padded envelope. The USB stick was returned to me in a plain envelope which damaged the USB stick. They claimed their system could not open the USB stick. Although the USB stick got squashed, yet when l plugged it into my computer, everything was still neatly saved in there. What type of computer are they using that cannot open a USB stick? 9. I was told when l called for an update on whether my car was going to be repaired or not since they will not provide me with a courtesy car. I was told “it might be a total loss”. I requested for a clear YES or NO answer so l can organise myself as l needed a car to get back to work. I was tossed around for several days before l finally received a YES, it’s going to be a total loss This has been such a sad experience of my life. Will l recommend The AA? NEVER AGAIN. Very terrible company. I use RAC for recovery and l will consider going for insurance thru them when my current policy expires next year
