Horrible Service Overall

1 out of 5 stars
My son was rear-ended last May. The accident was in no way his fault. He ended up with concussion and whiplash symptoms. Pembridge was rude and made him feel like he had done something wrong which he hadn't. Checks for income replacement benefits were almost always late. When we called to find out where the checks were, claims representatives quoted their minimum legal obligations and were not helpful in tracking down missing checks. The claims process and ongoing benefits were delivered in a way that caused more stress and made living difficult. I will never consider any insurance product from Pembridge or State Farm or Desjardins, their parent company due to their disrespectful way of interacting with people, their refusal to accommodate a disability (Cognitive issues caused by the accident), and their "we do the bare minimum" attitude when problems arise. Just disgusting treatment of people. There is no justification for this.
TRUE ACCIDENT FORGIVENESS rate went up 15.4% after a not at fault accident. Other car was issured by Allstate. Would not lell me why, but said was approved by FSCO. FSCO and others said they do not approve policy premiums of insurance companies.
Checked approved rating by FSCO for over all premium adjustment and my premium was a way out of line. Collision in 2016 was $198 then days later $179 then in less than a year in 2017 $403. Insurance bureau in an email stated my car collision rating had not changed from 2015 to 2017.
Called several times to the ombudsman and left a message no return call.
Was even asked to show my bank statement to show they took money from my bank and not my credit card. Left the company.

Experienced my first not at fault accident in over 10+ year of driving and thou Pembridge has been my insurance company for the last 5 or so years accident free , what a horrible experience it was with my claim.
Alex was my claim assistant and no matter how much I called and left messages and called and left message I would never get to speak with her. I got to my frustration point and went above her to her so call Supervisor or Manager Jose absolutely NO Better.
So my accident happen in December 2016 and thou I had to literally run after the person that hit me sending me into a park car, because she drove off, she allowed her son who was not at the accident to give the police report at the collision centre and give a totally different story (now I see how worthless people really are) which Pembridge easy gobbled up and told me the stories are conflicting so I now have to pay my $1000 deductible. Absolutely LUDACRIS! On top of that the accident accorded at the end of the second week in December I opted to choose my own repair shop to ensure the job was completed properly. They did not sent someone out to access my Vehicle until the second week of January 2017 and at which point they now wanted the bodywork shop to hurry the job, after my vehicle sat at the body shop for 3-4wk at Pembridge delay.
Making matters worse the adjuster calculated the repair time incorrect and Pembridge had to extend the rental vehicle I had and basically Jose the Supervisor said NO we’re not going to, it’s the fault of the body shop, keeping in mind Pembridge took 4wks to actually send out the adjuster, and I had to return the rental on a cold snowy evening even thou my vehicle was not ready. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE.
If this is what I pay $187/mths for I don’t want their service. I will definitely be looking for new cover and would ABSOLUTELY NEVER refer Pembridge Insurance to anyone.
