faults

If you experience technical issues, communication breakdowns, or administrative delays while logging or tracking a claim, follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Portal Upload Glitches: If the online portal fails to upload large document files, split your documents into smaller attachments (under 5MB each) and email them directly to [email protected]. Include your policy number in the subject line.
• Unresponsive Communication: If you have not received confirmation within 48 business hours of submitting a claim, call the primary call centre on 0800 935 465 with your ID or reference number ready.
• Missing Claim Reference: Always ensure every document sent contains your initial reference number or primary policy number. Unreferenced emails can lead to routing delays in central inbox queues.
