Denial of claim for motorcycle Insurance
Name: Noel D’Souza
Defaulting Company: Future Generali Insurance Company
Hi,
My name is Noel D’Souza,I own a Pulsar 220 dtsi black.
This complaint is regarding the insurance claim I filed for the Rear tyre,the Mack wheel rim and the rear disc brake that was robbed on the night of 10th August 2010.
I work at 3G(3 Global Services),Prism Towers behind Hypercity, Malad(W).I always travel to work by bike so I was leaving at 3:30 am for a 4 am shift,when I reached below the building I realised that my Rear tyre consisting of Tubeless Tyre,the Mack wheel rim and the disc brake was robbed in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. I then informed my mother about the same,she advised me to go to Malad Police station and lodge a complaint.In the meantime 2 beatmarshalls(Kadam and Kamble) were passing by so I called them and informed them about the robbery, I was then advised by them to go to Malad police station and lodge a complaint using their name as a reference to seeing the bike in that state.I lodged a complaint regarding the robbery to Inspector Jadhav who was really nice and helped me do it quickly as I had to reach work and couldn’t afford to take a leave as i’m in the probation period.
In the evening I called up Future Generali Insurance and told the representative at the call centre that the back tyre was robbed today morning and that I wanted to file a claim,she told me that the surveyor would give me a call after 6 hours and gave me the claim# as CV071638.The surveyor then called me up,I told him exactly what I saw in the morning when I reached my bike after hearing the whole story he then told me that you will not get insurance as we do not insure for partial robbery,I asked why ? He replied stating “Only if the bike meets with an accident or is completely robbed only then we insure otherwise we don’t”,I was shocked as the entire expense for putting a new tyre with the accessories my going to be my expense,I told him that in the insurance policy booklet that I received never mentioned anywhere on any page that insurance was not given for partial robbery, he then stated that for all policies only 1 kind of insurance booklet is given.
A few days back I just received a letter from Future Generali Insurance stating letter of Denial for the claim. I spoke to a certain Mr.Ravi from Future Generali who said he would look into the matter,I called him up today to check the status of the claim, he then told me that since the bike was robbed in the building the insurance would not look into the claim but if the bike was taken somewherelse and robbed then the Insurance would look into the matter and help.
I have lost hope in this company,Hoping you will take up this matter.
Please look into the matter as I don’t think we need to pay for insurance if these kind of companies are going to turn their face and look the other way around.
Yours Sincerely,
Noel D’Souza
