Prompt response and excellent assistance

My call was answered quickly, and the representative I spoke with was both helpful and professional, providing a quote that I was very satisfied with.

Long-time customer facing frustrating billing issues

I have been a customer for eleven years with my home, contents, and car insurance. Last week, I purchased another car insurance policy for full comprehensive coverage online, paying just under $1000 for the year. However, I discovered the next day that a direct debit had come out for the new policy, resulting in nearly $2000 being charged. I called the customer service line and selected the option for accounts and billing, expecting an easy resolution to reverse one of my payments. Unfortunately, I learned that I wouldn’t be able to speak to anyone in the finance department, as they stated that it wasn’t possible. I was told to email proof of payment, which the representative could see had been received, and someone in finance would investigate, but my policy was put on hold in the meantime. This process could take about a week. Today was supposed to be the day I received my refund, but as of nearly four o'clock, nothing has been deposited yet. When I called to inquire about my refund, I was informed it could take up to three days to access it. This situation has compromised my bill account due to the double transaction, and I have other insurance fees due this week. I hope my refund arrives in time to cover those payments. Therefore, I’m giving two stars. Throughout my time with this company, I’ve only made one small claim due to a weather event and have always paid my bills on time. This experience has been extremely stressful. I believe there should be a system in place to prevent double payments and automatically return funds when a duplicate payment is recognized. Additionally, do not offer options to speak to accounts or finance if it isn’t a valid choice. I empathize with the phone staff, who seem powerless to assist customers, leading to frustration. This approach does not seem sustainable for maintaining customer relationships moving forward.

Disappointing resolution after water damage

After a water damage incident with my vehicle, the service dried it out and returned it, but now I'm facing persistent electrical issues, and the company refuses to take responsibility. Their customer support lead also misled another agency, claiming they wouldn't assist me in finding a resolution.

First experience with the company

The representative was extremely helpful while I explored different policies and customized one to potentially match my current policy's price. In almost all instances, the company offered lower rates. The sign-up process was straightforward. I hope they perform just as well during any claim.
