Claim adjuster not doing her job

by Kaylaa on Sep 28, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

So back in April 2022, we had a massive snow storm and I drove home from work and parked my car in my driveway. The next day I leave to go to work and I hear what sounds like a scrapping noise under my car. My boyfriend looks at me to find that the snow had got all up in the splash guard of my Honda Civic (which is low to the ground) and completely froze and busted out my splash guard.

I called my insurance broker to find out if the damage would be able to be fixed by insurance. He said he would ask intact and they’d get back to me. 2 weeks passed and I get a call from Wanda at Intact. She states how she’s opened a claim about the damage. Since 2 weeks had already passed and I had to use my car I had already fixed the damage. I call her back she doesn’t answer so I leave her a voicemail saying I didn’t want to open a claim I had a question and the damage was fixed I didn’t need their help it was all fixed. Problem solved

A month later I get this email that I haven’t returned their call regarding my at-fault claim. So I call Wanda again leave her multiple messages she never replies and I forgot about it. Figured she’d get the voicemail (guess I should’ve followed up)

In June (after I had left multiple voicemails and even emailed them) I get a letter if I don’t reply in 5 business days they will be processing the claim as an at-fault claim. So I call Wanda again no answer I leave several voicemails and emails. Never get a hold of her. So I call Intact head office to speak with someone about what happened. I’ve told them all the days I’ve called Wanda. All the emails and how I don’t want an at-fault claim it wasn’t supposed to be a claim it was supposed to be a question and I fixed the damage myself.

A few days later I Finally I get a follow-up email saying that it’s been canceled. I’m like perfect moving on. 2 weeks later I get an email from my insurance broker saying I need to submit a bill to show I fixed the damage. I call my insurance broker and said it was the splash shield the local dealership cut it off and racked up the remainder. So again I figured it’s all fixed move on.

3 days ago I get my insurance renewal and I went down like 3 bucks: no claims, no accidents, and no tickets seem strange to me. So I called another insurer to get a quote to compare prices. Come to find out Intact insurance put on my insurance that it was an at-fault claim in April...

Moral of the story... I have canceled insurance with Intact & have gone with another insurance... low rates, and way better customer service. Shame on you Intact and Wanda for all I have had to deal with since April over something that was supposed to be a question.

I’d give them a 1/2 star rating if it would let me...

Disgraceful

by Angry Intact customer on Sep 16, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

This company should be shut down. It took 5 months for them to issue a check for the repairs so I could get the work done. There was one more check for the emergency work. After many calls, the check was finally issued and arrived another week later made out to me and my deceased husband. Obviously, this can't be cashed so I still don't have the money. This company has no concern for anyone else!

Very Disappointed...

by David LeBlanc on Sep 15, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I have been with this company for the last 3 years for commercial insurance.
They have no problem collecting over $11000 per year for my "coverage" for this time..
I now have a no-fault accident and my vehicle is now laid up and can not be used...
The accident happened a week ago and I was told an adjuster would be in touch within 24 to 48 hours...
It has now been a week without any contact from them.
I have called the lone number offered by this large company and repeatedly (4 times) was transferred to the call center where they took my information and details of the accident each time and then transferred me to the adjuster department where I sat on hold for an average of 2 hours only to have the phone call dropped and once I ran out of the time I could wait...
The immobilized vehicle is hourly paid and it is my only source of income...
This is not an acceptable way to operate as my money is great to them but my coverage is of lesser importance.
I could not go lower with the star rating as it I have to put at least 1 star to add this review...
When this claim is finalized I will add the finished review

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.

Can’t do their job

by DKJ on Sep 8, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I had canceled my policy to go with someone else. Gaven them their notice properly. Because they can’t do their jobs probably they still have taken the money and caused my account to bounce all my other payments. So now I can’t do anything until they give back my money that they had no right to take. I have incurred fees for their incompetence. And all the stress to go with it. Also, need to add can’t get my meds or food now because of them. When I told this them. Their answer to me was THERE ARE PROCEDURES TO RETURN MONEY. AND IT WILL TAKE 30 DAYS TO RETURN MY MONEY. This is not right or fair.

For 2023 raised auto & home 50% and never had a claim

by Disappointed on Sep 1, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I received my renewal on my car and home insurance. It went up 50% and I have never made a claim. Not only that, I have had an accident in 50 years and neither has my wife. When I called them I was told, "well all insurance companies raised their rates by 50%". This is a lie. I called another insurer and they gave me a quote on a home and 3 cars for $900 less than Intact. They used to have very good rates but not anymore.

No one seems to care, just want to get you off the phone.

by Unhappy Intact client on Sep 1, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I reported a hail damage claim on the client portal. I received a quick standard letter from an adjuster advising he would be dealing with my claim. The standard letter ignores the info entered on the portal and asks a bunch of non-revenant questions.
The adjuster never returned calls.
The call center never followed through on their promises
Weeks have gone by, still have no idea how to proceed.

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.

What a scam

by Karma on Aug 26, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I had to pay a fee to cancel, as it took a few days longer to get things flipped over to another insurer and I got hit with a bill for over $580 for 4 days of house and car insurance… 12% of the amount of the policy for the year. Been paying $2000 extra a year than I really needed to be, for years. No claims. The average house and my annual amount for insurance kept going up and up. Paying over $4900 in insurance for house and 2 cars (not expensive cars either). I drive less than 2000 km a year.

Think the title of this says it all. The service is disgraceful, every employee I have dealt with is utterly incompetent. Worst customer service representatives.

Horrible Customer Service

by SS67 on Aug 15, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

My vehicle was damaged while parked. I had to continually follow up with the agent assigned for over 3 weeks. No repairs had been started, or approvals provided to the body shop. Had left over 10 messages for status, and the agent never called me back or apologized for any delay. What does one get for paying their fees... The worst insurance company I've dealt with! I will be pulling my business!

BRUTAL BRUTAL BRUTAL

by Michael Hope on Aug 4, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

What does Intact do? This is my 2nd claims experience in 2 years. The first was when someone turned left in front of him writing off both cars and leaving my son with surgery to fix 3 broken bones. Intact (despite saying he had $30K of medical support) would only approve physio by a therapist who charges 99 dollars per hour or less - they would not honour the same total dollar value. Useless. We ended up footing ALL bills ourselves.
I had a garbage truck strike my car while parked. So far (9 days later)... Despite reporting using their app to submit claims and photos and me calling - still no emails. No, follow up. no rental car. No appraisal -NOTHING.
This is - BY FAR - the worst insurance company I have EVER interacted with...
