Due to electric fault in washing machine, i had an urgency to switch off water supply in the bathroom and while doing all this, the device fell from my tshirt pocket into the bucket accidently. It was purely a non-intentional circumstance. (Ps: i have been using this device for more than a year and this is the first such case of liquid damage i faced in all this time)
I applied for the claim on 31st july’2017 as you can see the confirmation of my claim registration wrt service request number 2206728 on mail received from m/s one assist consumer solution pvt ltd.

As per the process, i submitted all the required documents within 24hours of the request raised.
Received mail on 3 aug’2017 from m/s one assist consumer solution pvt ltd asking me to submit few more documents, which was duly submitted without any delay.
The device was successfully picked up from my home on 4th august’2017, by hand, a representative of ecom express private limited although the confirmation of device receival was sent on 7aug’2017 by the company to me.in the meantime, i contacted the cre of one assist on 8th aug’2017 to request for the “courtesy handset” as mentioned in the claim benefits i was assured.
From 8th aug’2017 to 14th aug’2017, i have been continuously calling them to send me a courtesy handset so as it was clearly mentioned in the claim benefit i purchased from one assist consumer solution pvt ltd. Every day, i was given false reasons, hopes and of course mental distress from one assist cre’s. One of their cre even confirmed that my courtesy handset is already on its way to get delivered to me, which i have not received even after 15days of claim registration.
I was informed that courtesy handset is delivered within 4-5 working days, which eventually got extended to 7-10working days.
Even after waiting for more than 15days, i was not given courtesy handset and to add on it, denied the claim stating the clause of “wilful negligence” from my end.
Dear ekta,
I apologize that the courtesy handset cannot be delivered to you as stock of courtesy handset is not available with us.
Sorry for the inconvenience happened with you.
If you have any other queries you can happily writes us on [protected]@oneassist.in or you can call our customer care executive.
Thanks for contacting us,
Regards,
Team oneassist.
Dear ekta jadon
With reference to your service request number 2206728, basis the documents submitted by you, the insurance company has denied the claim.
The insurance company is constrained to deny the liability basis the following reason:
""the subject claim is not admissible under exclusion 10 - loss or damage caused by wilful negligence (No proper care of handset has been taken by insured to safeguard the property)."
We regret that we are unable to entertain this claim and therefore, we are closing the claim as repudiated on the grounds clearly mentioned above. We look at this as an opportunity lost to serve you.
We will soon deliver your unrepaired handset to you.
For any further assistance, please write to us at [protected]@oneassist.in or call[protected] or[protected]
Warm regards,
Team oneassist
And when i asked for the pointers on which they decide if the liquid damage was wilful or not, i was given no satisfactory response. As mentioned earlier, i have been using this device from june 2016 with no complaints till this accidental liquid damage happened. Accusing customer of “wilful negligence” to access this claim is derogatory and completely unfair. The mental harassment that i have gone through in all these days is not justified in the terms of customer service at all.
Moreover, i feel like this claim insurance thing is a complete bluff to cheat customers in the name of selling insurance for mobile devices.
I received the un-serviced device (My original handset) on 19 aug’2017 from logistic partner of one assist consumer solution pvt ltd.
I have no other option, but to take legal action against one assist consumer solution pvt ltd. For selling a false insurance claim, denying claim benefits and mentally harassing me in the name of customer service.

Updated by JadonEkta And for this part "THE SUBJECT CLAIM IS NOT ADMISSIBLE UNDER EXCLUSION 10 - Loss or damage caused by wilful negligence (No proper care of handset has been taken by insured to safeguard the property)."
Let me inform you, that I have been using this handset for more than a year and not even once had it been sent to a service center for any sort of damage. Telling a customer about safeguarding the property is your duty but accussing of wilful negligence is a completely unprofessional and unethical.

Updated by JadonEkta For your kind information. The insurance was duly purchased to counter those "so called negligence" which you people so easily termed as "wilful" from my side. How are expecting your customers to claim for a liquid damage? And stop giving these baseless reasons of negligence. The truth is that you people never do provide the claim benefits, leave aside the courtesy handset.
Company like OneAssist Consumer Solutions Pvt. Ltd do not understand the meaning of customer satisfaction. Your fraud company cheated my hard earned money and wasted my time all these months.
I request the authorities to look closely into the matter, as to why the "LIQUID DAMAGE" claim was not provided and the reason they accussed me of "Wilfully damaging my device for liquid claim".
