Poor customer service

by Leo on Dec 12, 2023
2 out of 5 stars

I have been insuring with Allstate for about 65 years. During that time, I have had complaints, but nothing serious. However, over the past three weeks, I have had situations that have caused me to think seriously about looking for another carrier.
I have been dealing with the Allstate offices and their customer service has, all but disappeared.
Within the last month, my auto insurance came due and I like to pay my bills directly with their office. However, when I went there. There was no one there to take my payment. I purposely went there a good deal after lunch so as not to interfere with anyone’s lunch time, but was told by the manager that there was no one available as the person responsible was having her lunch. This is the first time that the branches manager has refused to help me and told me to come back at another time.
When I returned the next day, it took them about five minutes to find some one who could help me.
In previous years, the receptionist, was always there and took care of me within a couple of minutes.
A week after the above incident, my wife misplaced her pink insurance slip so I went to the Allstate office at about 3:20 p.m. to get a replacement. When I explained what I needed, I was told to have a seat and she would look after me in about five minutes. There were already two other people seated there, so I accepted the situation.
During the time I was waiting, another couple approached the receptionist. I have no idea what their needs were, but they were told to have a seat. Since the was only one seat left, they chose to stand and wait.
The couple stood and waited for about six minutes before I could hear them mumble that the wait was ridiculous so they left.
I was told to wait about five minutes, but when I had been sitting for more than ten minutes, I got up to leave. As I was heading out, I commented that I believed that I had been waiting long enough. I received no reply from the receptionist so I left.
I am now looking to change carriers.

Poor Service, Lacking Customer Service Values and Support for Insurer

by Tickedoff on Nov 30, 2023
1.7 out of 5 stars

I was with Allstate for 31 years and recently was told they would not insure my 18 yr old son because he has a license suspension (made a poor decision as a teenager as we all have). They forced me to sign an agreement stating that he would not drive my car. Fine. Then a few months later 1 month before renewal of my auto insurance they told me they were discontinuing my insurance as the underwriters had deemed me "at risk" because I had two claims, one over 6 yrs ago and the other in 2022, even though their policy says they remove collision claims within 6 yrs. I had 4 ticket (speeding, and failing to yield, 2018, 2021, 2023). So this I guess is the limit of their service and coverage for a client. Now I have cancelled my auto and tenant insurance and leaving them. What a joke. What is the point of getting insurance if they have a low limit on what you can be actually covered for. Where are the rights of the client/customer, when they are high priced, gouging and moving forward with repairs of $20k on an accident that my car is literally worth a smidge more. Not a great insurance company at all. One would think they would look at customer loyalty, and have more reasonable restrictions. THE WORST! Customer service is poor, rules are a complete joke. Insurers need more rights against these money hungry insurance companies.
