To whom it may concern,
On March 17th at 2:30 AM,
Some person drove off the Highway ran over 6 delineators and across my Nabors driveway and just missed the tree and the telephone pole then proceeded across our yard and driveway and into my wife’s car then pushed our car completely across our driver sideways before it stopped, then the driver who was not hurt from the impact Since this has happed we have contacted ICBC and have to pick an autobody repair shop as we were asked to do from ICBC, after that, we were told that we were in the queue for an adjuster to look at our car we have contacted ICBC again to see what kind of time frame we were looking at before a decision is made we were told two to three weeks before an adjuster would be able to look over our car. When I called the 1-800 representative again, she just said that we are in the queue but would not give us a ballpark time frame on any answers, I explained that this is upsetting to us and are not getting any answers. I explained that our insurance will be running out soon and we will not be renewing it for a car that is sitting at an impound yard that we can’t drive as well as we have been making payments on a car that we are unable to be drive, we have had no answers from ICBC on what time frame it could be or even get the adjuster to look over our car. We have been left hanging without any answer to what is happening. This has been a traumatic experience for us as well as a financial uncertainty due to no fault of our own. I personally felt that this could have been handled much better by the staff from ICBC other than being told that we are in the queue. We are the innocent victims here my wife hasn’t even owned her car for a year yet.
My wife has worked very hard to save and build up her credit to buy a decent car with very low KM that is safe and reliable for her to get back and forth to work. We have been getting to the point that we have even discussed hiring a lawyer to investigate this matter on our behalf because we are not happy with the responses and attitude that we have been getting back from ICBC.
Now it is May 09, 2022. Now we finally received a call from ICBC telling us that our insurance is due for renewal, and we must renew with full coverage because our insurance piggybacks on the rental car that we have so my wife can go to work and pay for the full coverage of insurance and make her payments on her car that we don’t have. Due to this person hitting her car in our driveway at 2:30 am, but the person from ICBC explained that we are now second in the queue to have an adjuster look at our Car that is in a tow yard. If any other private business treated their customers in this fashion, they would be out of business quickly.
Sincerely unsatisfied ICBC customers...
Someone hit my parking car and hit and run and they decided my claim. I don’t have my car for over 3 weeks they never even call back. So disrespectful and unprofessional. That’s why we pay insurance?
The damage is clear on my car I didn’t do it never caused an accident. I’m beyond pissed!
If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.
Complete nightmare... I was Broadsided (t-boned) on the driver's side. Another car ran a stop sign at high speed, and both cars are totalled. The driver got out and ran came back and said he wasn't the driver. ICBC is a maze of deception and gives you the run around for months. I am very injured with no compensation at all for pain/suffering. No-fault is only good for the person who causes accidents. Would never choose ICBC if there was any other choice. Get rid of them
Dealing with ICBC has officially become a worse experience than my near-death car accident. It takes weeks to get an email response. I submitted my EI claim and all other info they needed to pay my lost wages from when I wasn’t able to work. They are supposed to top up EI to 90% of my earnings. It’s been almost a month since I’ve sent the information and still no response. I finally emailed the adjuster only to get an automatic response saying they are off work for another two weeks. This is the second time my adjuster has been gone from work for over two weeks. I started every time that I emailed them how important it is that I get my lost wages reimbursed. I nearly went bankrupt and had to borrow money from friends and family until I could start working again. If you get in a car accident you better have enough money to survive for several months without any financial reimbursement for your damaged/totalled car and for your loss of work. I feel like if insurance was privatized and there was competition in the market there would be an incentive to provide a proper service. I wish I could leave less than a one-star rating.
I was seriously injured in 2013 through no fault of my own and didn’t receive fair compensation until 9 years later in 2022. They treated me horribly every step of the way. I hope I’m an anomaly but sadly I believe the horrible experience I had is typical of most human beings asking for fair support after being seriously injured on BC roads. I fought for the entire community of accident victims. Sadly this organization systematically bullies accident victims and people with disabilities.
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.
With a wait time of over 30 min to ask a simple question... Pathetic support service. Their website is the worse website I have come across.
My recent dealings with ICBC were upsetting, to say the least!
They have no regard for customer service, you call them and it takes 2 to 3 hours to finally talk to someone there. They are extremely unprofessional. BC residents are forced to deal with them as its operated by the government with outrageously high fees.
I would not recommend them at all.
My wife and I were hit by a drunk driver, instead of the ICBC agent being kind and thoughtful they made her feel like she was lying about her injuries and it took two years or more to settle this. My wife was mentally fine after the accident but after dealing with ICBC for over two years she developed PTSD. She will probably never work again but minimal money they gave her. They are making money from other people's suffering. Shame on You!
It started when I hit a bear near Clinton BC.
First, it took 2 weeks to get it to the repair center then it 6 weeks to get parts which weren't anyone's fault.
But shortly after I got the car back my abs, traction control, service transmission, steering reduced, propulsion power were reduced. I have a record that all of this came up right after my accident. Now ICBC is saying that how can I prove that it's not a manufacturer's defect. Basically, the car is not safe to drive now because of the snow and icy weather. The NEW ICBC is no better than the old one.
I am so totally pleased with the way that ICBC estimator in Duncan has handled my claim for tires lost in the fire.
Thank you
