Rejected or underpaid by a Telesure-group insurer?
King Price, Dialdirect and Budget Insurance are all part of the Telesure group — one of South Africa's largest direct insurers. When a direct insurer rejects, reduces or quietly ignores a claim, the policyholder is usually left to argue alone against an insurer that assesses thousands of claims a year. That imbalance is exactly what NKH Advisory exists to fix.
We are an independent claims preparation and loss adjusting practice. We do not work for insurers. We read your rejection letter against your policy wording, establish what the loss truly is, and build a properly evidenced claim that the insurer must answer — and where the decision is wrong, we escalate to the National Financial Ombud (NFO) on your behalf.
What we do for you, step by step.
- Free 60-second claim check — tell us what happened and which insurer.
- Rejection & policy review — we assess whether the decision holds up.
- Claim preparation — we quantify the loss and assemble the evidence.
- Negotiation & NFO escalation — we present and pursue the claim on your behalf.
The grounds insurers most often rely on — and how we test them.
"Wear and tear" exclusions
Often misapplied to sudden damage; our ECSA engineers establish the true cause.
Non-disclosure or material misrepresentation
The insurer must prove relevance to the loss — not assert it.
Maintenance / gradual deterioration
Contestable with independent engineering assessment of the real cause.
Underpayment of quantum
Settlements that fall short of the real cost to repair or replace.
Storm, flood, fire and burst-pipe claims
Cause-of-loss disputes where engineering evidence is decisive.
Stalled or unanswered claims
Where the insurer has gone silent — a written demand changes that.
Frequently asked questions
King Price, Dialdirect or Budget Insurance rejected my claim. Can the decision be challenged?+
Yes. A rejection is the insurer's position, not a final ruling. King Price, Dialdirect and Budget Insurance are all part of the Telesure group, and like any insurer they must justify a rejection against the policy wording and the facts. We review the rejection letter, the policy and the loss, prepare the claim properly, and escalate to the NFO where the rejection is unfounded.
My Telesure-group claim was paid, but for far less than the loss. Is that worth disputing?+
Underpayment is one of the most common and most disputable outcomes. If the settlement does not reflect the true cost to repair, replace or reinstate, the quantum can be challenged with proper assessment and supporting evidence.
How long do I have to dispute a King Price, Dialdirect or Budget Insurance decision?+
You generally have 90 days from the date of the insurer's final decision to refer the matter to the National Financial Ombud. Acting early matters — start the free claim check as soon as you receive a rejection or low offer.
Does NKH Advisory work for the insurer or for me?+
We act exclusively for policyholders. NKH Advisory is independent of all insurers, including the Telesure group. We work for you, not your insurer.
