My car was parked and driver went to get a parking permit while the SUV in front backed into me. It was an obvious who's at fault, no one's even at the driver seat. Reported the accident on weekend and finally got a call back asking for details on Monday. They asked me to bring the car to one of their preferred shop to have it assessed. Took the car in on Thursday, the accident details haven't even been uploaded. I tried to explain what happened. The guy took some pictures, didn't even pop the hood and that's it. Later on, I brought into dealership and other shop for a second look. Because the car hit me was a SUV, the mounting for the light cracked inside. I called Economical about it, they didn't even listen to me and cut me off. Immediately the next day, i decided to fix the car elsewhere. Called the assessment centre and requested an assessment report. The insurance company said it should be uploaded after 48 hours. I dropped off my car and got a rental. After 4 days, the shop called me and told me that they have not yet receive anything. I called in again to find out what happened. For the very first time, that is two full weeks after the accident occured, my adjuster called me. She asked me if I have brought my car in for assessment, which I have already done more than a week ago. I have called in 4 times trying to speak to her but she doesn't have a voicemail for me to leave a message so I was served with other representatives. I'm back to start. Seems like all the calls I've made with other representatives were just useless. She's the decision maker. No notes have been put on and no action was taken to contact the other party. The rental was from my deductible because they need to assess who's at fault. I ended up have to pay for the rental and get my car back from my shop which no work has been performed.
So, the company does not send me my policy, invoice or proof of insurance. Then wait a few months and finally request the proof of insurance slips. Find out I have one last payment still to make but no idea as to how much (3 payment system) anyways I make a payment of $1200 which was apparently $13.80 too little and again with no communication they cancel my insurance. Can't believe that is actually legal but it's been done and their ombudsman was unable or unwilling to help. 20+ years and this is how they treat you there. They want loyalty but don't give any in return. Says a lot about a company. They are overpriced but thought I was paying for something... apparently not.
