Home and Contents Insurance after Grass-fire damage

published

We recently had to make a claim after a grass-fire damaged our fence and the house had smoke damage.
The insurance assessor was very prompt and arrived to asses the damage one week after the fire.
There were no problems with any part of the claim and we got money to replace the fence 2 weeks after submitting the quote.
The assessor organised for our mains water pipe to be replaced, painting of the walls and ceiling,carpet and rug cleaning, curtain cleaning, air conditioner cleaning and even organizing an air purifier for a weeks hire to clean the air.
I could not recommend RAA Insurance high enough for coming through when they were needed.
Thanks RAA

No coverage for old house

published

They accept insurance premiums on our old house but won't cover anything because of age. What a rip off.
Over priced and use what ever loop hole they can to get out of paying.

Not happy with RAA at all. Bunch of thieves

published

lease please don't go with RAA. I had comprehensive car insurace with RAA and was Agreed value when i insured my car, ihad a car accident in victoria i went for a short holiday and when i called them to make a claim they assessed the car and said its a total loss and we will pay you the settlement, they called me again and said the agreed value is too hight and the market value is only 18k, why would you even accept the agreed value when you think its high? Why would you charge me extra for premium when i chose the agreed value? . I will take this to my lawyer and take it forward to the court.

Haven't made a claim but seemed pretty run-of-the-mill to me. I haven't ever had to make a real claim with any insurance company, so I guess that's where the real proof will be when and if that time comes!

Accidental damage claim

published

Agree with the others posting about their ridiculous process for accidental damage claims. Xbox won't work since we moved house. They expect me to take it to a repairer, get them to write a report and pay the costs for that (which I may get back). What is the point of accidental damage cover if they expect all the reasons why it doesn't work anymore? And the excess is $150 on that when it is $100 on my insurance policy. I cancelled the claim and yet it sits under "completed claims" on my account. It should be deleted as it was NOT completed. I'm really disappointed and think the process is completely ridiculous.

Excellent, quick service.

I had a broken ipad pro 10.5 that I made a claim for on our accidental damage. RAA were fast and efficient. I was more than pleased with their service. They did ask for proof of the ipad specs which was no problem.
A few years back my husband had a car accident and our car was written off. Again RAA provided fast and efficient service.
I am happy with RAA and based on our experience with them would recommend them to others.

Never could believe me

published

I had an incident with someone's car and I was discussing the matter with raa staff over the phone and whatever I said, she said I am wrong and asked me evidence and whatever the other party reported, she accepted. I felt that I am negotiating with other party's LAWYER, not raa customer service. I have two cars insured with raa and wanted to insure my home with them,as well, but got the lesson to find a better insurance company. Raa is an excellent insurance company as long as you keep, calmly, paying them. When it comes to costumer service? fever and pain!

Dodgy, dishonest, unethical liars

published

Appalling unethical behaviour, took months to deal with a valid claim, then tried to refuse it on incorrect information, failed to disclose hidden policies, tried to change a policy retrospectively to avoid paying a claim, very stressful experience. Very unprofessional, incompetent company. Don't deal with them, they will do anything to avoid paying a claim!

iPhone X was lost on a trip and dealing with Optus insurance resulted in 3 hours of being on the phone waiting and being told different information by different people. RAA sorted by claim in 10 minutes on the phone and approved in less than 24 hours. Thank you RAA.

Nonsense company

published

Claim their road side premium membership covers majority of services, but when I had a flat TYRE and no spare, they claiming the towing included in my membership doesn’t count as it isn’t a mechanical issue and needed to pay an additional $100. Called again the next day for them to change the TYRE but refused as it wasn’t on the rim. Nonsense company, waste of $200 membership. Will not be joining again.

WARNING - Do not use RAA!

published

* Do not go anywhere near this organisation. They are liars, cheats and thieves, providing all promises but fabricating evidence when a claim is presented. My simple claim was around $1000 and has been drawn out for over three months before being finally disallowed. The net result, now cancelling three car policies, two house policies and two roadside covers as I do not want anything to do with these crooks. No doubt they are very proud of themselves!

Poor Service

published

Claimed my IPHONE on accidental damage as that's why I have it.
Got a letter from Apple, stating it needed to be replaced.
Now they are telling me that i have to take it into the store to be sent to the head office before they will replace it.
I have a letter why else do I need to wait.

Took it into a branch now and told would be sent off straight away, Called again, haven't received it yet.
In the mean time I have to wait without a phone, for them to receive it.
GRRR Thinking of cancelling my policy.

Customer support is very poor for existing customers. I rang with a simple question about to seek for information about my increased premium and the 'customer support person' over the phone was really rude and raised his voice at me. Customer support service treat customers with contempt.

Is my lost/stolen mobile phone covered by contents insurance?

Hi Natalie I can’t answer that question, you will have to ask them depending on your policy. If they say no, don’t take their word for it, read your policy and double check. We found them appalling to deal with. They went to extraordinary lengths to not pay a small, valid claim. They eventually paid it as it was very clearly covered under our policy and we started action with the Insurance Ombudsman but the whole experience was very unpleasant. We were lied to, they withheld evidence when we asked for phone recordings which proved what we had told them, they even retrospectively changed a policy! We cancelled our policy with them and are now insured with a much more reputable business. I strongly suggest you find another insurer. Imagine what would happen if you had a big claim!!!

Bron

If there is nothing on the phone to identify you, they will probably reject your claim. Try to claim it and if rejected complain to the Ombudsman. I have found them helpful. I am still waiting on a resolution re my lost keys. Have sent them quotes but have no reply yet.

Hi Natalie, depending on your policy and options you've chosen your mobile phone could be covered. The best option would be to give us a call on 8202 4567 so we can check your policy for you and provide advice on how to make sure you're covered for the things you need, like a mobile phone or laptop etc. Kind regards, Laura
