Sonnet is terrible!

by Taylor Giroux on Feb 20, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

I had some issues during covid and a loss of job and missed one payment so they cancelled me and when I paid the amount owing and asked to continue my services not only did they say I now had to pay yearly for ONE missed payment but now I can’t even get insurance without having to pay well over $3000. Scam artists that screw their customers!!!!

Terrible

These people are lazy and should not even work with wages. These people are a joke. First I have filed a claim and after three months of patiently waiting. I still have no response even after getting back to the adjuster that was on my case. I called and emailed, no response! So I decided to cancel my policy after a year, after that I got charge again for a new year term which I was not expecting because I turnoff auto re-new. The website is terrible, customer service and people who work here are terrible. We should start a class action suit.

Worst company ever.

I have been with Sonnet since 26th October 2017. They have been increasing the monthly payments every year, even after that, I have been continuing with them. They sent me an email in August in which I had to submit my rent agreement which they already had from the beginning and was submitted to them again when I had a $1600 claim on my car last year. I got to know about that email when I received a letter that my policy will be cancelled this year. That email was in spam. I rarely check my spam box. I am ready to give them whatever they need from me but according to their norms I had to reply to them in August otherwise my police will be cancelled on 26th October 2020 which is their final decision.

Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.

Cancelled for no valid reason

I received notice my policy would be cancelled August 2nd as a result of them not having Proof of Active Status for my driver's license. I contacted them and provided this info, a week later I received a renewal notice and my rates had doubled to over 400$ a month, the same day I received a second cancellation notice with no reason stated. They then proceeded to cancel my policy on July 2nd with no notice to me, leaving me uninsured on a brand new $60k vehicle, for almost a month before I noticed. I have nothing positive to say about this company whatsoever, customer service is useless and knows about as much as the consumer, upper management plays phone/email tag with you for weeks on end with no resolution to any problems. Buyers beware. Avoid this company at all costs regardless of how good of a price they may offer, I'd been insured with Sonnet for 4 years at a very reasonable rate, no claims, no tickets, perfectly clean record, and they doubled my rates with no explanation.

They took money out of my account when cancelled my policy before the start date. And now they don't want to reverse the payment. Don't be fooled by them! They will cheat on you! They refused me for full coverage when I'm paying for full coverage from the beginning and they automatically cancelled it without me knowing hence my daughter driving without full coverage.

Fraudulent Company

I have had an auto policy for just under a year. I've NEVER had an accident, claim, missed payment, or even a ticket. I happened to log onto my account online one day, only to see a large notice on my homepage stating that my policy has been cancelled and I cannot make any changes. There was no explanation offered as to why they cancelled it (I truly cannot think of a single thing that would trigger a cancellation. Absolutely nothing about my policy or driving record has changed this entire time). But the more infuriating part is that they made no attempt to contact me to inform me. No letter, no email, no phone call. I would have been driving around illegally uninsured this entire time with no idea if I didn't just happen to log onto my account one day. I called their customer service line, and the representative (not a licensed advisor) couldn't provide me ANY information about the cancellation other than "we can no longer provide coverage that meets your needs"... how is that possible in the middle of the year, when I've not requested any changes to my policy or had any change in driving record?? Considering the immediate cancellation, I tried to confirm that they would not withdraw a payment for next month and that I would be refunded for the final month that I already paid, only to be told that that was not possible. When I asked to speak to a higher level of management about the issue, I was told that would also not be possible. I am tempted to take legal action against this crook of a company.

BUYER BEWARE!

SONNET Insurance seems Too Good to be True. The service is non-existent, they time you out of their online portal and they can cancel your policy at their choice, even with your payment. Stay away! You would not want to claim with them as would deny, would be a nightmare.

SCAM

Sonnet Insurance is a scam. I had been with them for 4 years all of a sudden, less than 30 days before my policy is supposed to be renewed, I log on to my account and they tell me my policy is being cancelled. I asked why they said they sent an email to manually send in an auto-renew form and this is a new policy of theirs. I checked my email and junk folder there was absolutely nothing there. They said it could have gone to spam and gotten deleted. Unacceptable if you are cancelling my policy and I need to be informed of the next steps. Then they proceeded to tell me if I want to continue my policy to pay first and last again and reapply. Then they quoted me $926 a month to renew my policy.

Unethical

by Al2323 on Apr 16, 2020

Claimed to have sent me an email to fill out a re-application form (never had to do that before with them) I did not receive this email, checked in junk and everything the date they said they sent it I received an email from them about “6 tax season tips” nothing to do with this form. I checked my account - no notice or heads up on anything I needed to fill out. Their phones are only for claims right now because of COVID 19 so I had to talk to someone online and that person said they aren’t responsible for me getting my emails or not they just have to send them and now during all of this and with being on mat leave so not having the best income I have to find another insurance company because they said it’s final and had no remorse. A bunch of scammers.

Please insure elsewhere

My insurance policy was cancelled and I wasn't even aware. Even though there were two policyholders - with both our emails, addresses, phone numbers and contact information on file. We were not properly notified that our payments were not going through. We did not receive any notice from Sonnet regarding this issue and during this time their email system was sending out notifications that they were having technical issues sending info. Upon realizing that my policy was cancelled (no notice, call, letter or anything from them)- I took the initiative to call Sonnet to correct and pay the missed payments. They took my payments- but did not re-instate my policy (which ended up being a blessing in disguise, because they are an awful company). I spoke to all levels of customer service regarding their oversight and my issue. And they still did not help and told me to go elsewhere. Despite cancelling my policy and refusing to reinstate it they still email me notifications and promotions. How insulting. If a company is going to go through all the trouble to refuse a client after an error. At least have the decency to remove them from your mailing list. Poor customer service. Poor oversight and poor handling of customers when they have issues. Please go elsewhere.
