I had a break-in at my property, and raised a claim against FNB short term Insurance. and part of the items stolen do belong to my son. FNB are only prepared to settle the claim for Items belonging to me and none of the items belonging to my son, based on a report from their assessors Crash Investigation Group (Pty) LTD. On Page 24 of 30 in the policy document from FNB the definition for Household covers: you, your spouse, your children, and parents staying with you at the risk address Now I would like to know on what basis did they exclude the property of my son, as I am not aware of any investigation ever done to proof that my son is not mine. FNB nor their assessor nor the Ombudsman have ever requested me to proof that my son is mine, nor have they got any proof that he is not mine. Please note I will also post a similar review in this regard for 1) FNB Short Term Insurance 2) Crash Investigation Group (Pty) LTD
Requesting them to also explain to me how they have determined that my son is not mine and should therefore be excluded from my household and the claim raised against FNB Short Term Insurance.
The Ombudsman and FNB Short term Insurance have all agreed with the recommendation of CGI that only mine stolen property be replaced and none of those belonging to my son.
A thorough investigation was done, but I am not aware of any DNA testing and or any parental testing or investigations that was done, as it does not form part of the report that the recommendation was based upon.
