No customer loyalty, outrageous payments and no communication

Highly recommend you go elsewhere for auto insurance. Client for 15 years and was then forms to reapply for insurance were sent to my ex husband, (who was not listed on my policy) Was told forms would be sent to my address, never received until a registered letter came. 2 weeks to complete which all information they were asking for was reviewed on the 2 calls to them and then again after proving my ex was not on my mortgage which a lawyer had sent to them. (I was told they would not accept things from my lawyer). Submitted the form as requested, no call or follow up to let me know what my premium was going to be and that the policy had been renewed. Found out when I called Oct. 31, 23 (policy expired November 1) to be told it was mailed to me. I never received this information. It was then emailed to me. I asked how much and was told over the phone. In the time I was awaiting approval, I seeked alternate insurance in which I was trying to have in place, but Unifund would not provide me the information I was requesting, telling me any insuarnce broker can obtain this information. The new insurance provider was blown away by this, and tried to call herself and received the same response. This delayed me 7 days in aquiring my new insurance. I was assured no admin fees would be charged when I spoke with Unifund on the 31st of Oct. SURPRISE $483 for 7 days of coverage, the full amount. No one would put me to a higher supervisor and danced around. Filled their survey in, and no response. In no business should a customer have to work that hard to give someone thousands of dollars per year.

Poor customer service and lack of concern for customers

by Fvaxquex on Mar 24, 2022

I called to cancel my policies (auto and home) as of midnight (Mar 24), but I was told they will withdraw from my account until May 5. Even though my renewal is only a month away. They mentioned a penalty for the remainder of the policy (Excuses). Other providers quote me $1,000/year less. If anyone wants to save on insurance run away from Johnson/Unifund Insurance. They don't care about customers, but their pockets.

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.

I don’t recommend at all!

Very bad experience.
I emailed the company, then called a service center to cancel the policy.
Then I discovered the company deducting about 75$ monthly for about 16 months.
My advice to all potential customers - don’t go for this company. Walk away.

Stay away

After switching to another company (found better coverage at half the price), Johnson continued to take money from my account and refused to refund all of it. Spent hours on the phone over several days, had to send document multiple times and they kept changing their excuses. In the past when I had a claim they also attempted to pay less than was required by law and I had to have a lawyer step in. Most insurance companies are bad, but this one appears to be the evil overlord of Insurance companies. You would be better off with no coverage at all!

Stay Away

by Keith Pendleton on Aug 30, 2021

I’ve been driving for over 26 years with no claims and one at NO fault crash. Johnson gave me a great quote but once it went to underwriting, the underwriter stated I had caused two at-fault accidents within the last four years! Which is untrue and I explained this to Johnson. It didn’t matter and they doubled my insurance; which I cancelled and went with another insurance company with no problem.
The cancellation wasn’t accepted? And Johnson has now closed my coverage due to “non-payment”? Rather than what should have been a normal cancellation due to non excepted changes.
Stay away from this company they’re crooks.

Over a 3-year period, I had 2 rock chips filled and one windshield replacement on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have now been told they are cancelling my collision & comprehensive on my vehicle! Beware!!!! If you use your coverage you will be cancelled. We are moving ALL our policies.

Will never return

I called to cancel my policies at the end of their term. I was surprised to get two bills in the mail afterward for a little more than $300. When I called to inquire, they said that because in my original call I said this and that instead of such and such the agent renewed my policies. When I dealt with the next agent, she charged me early cancellation fees. While trying to sort it out they put a collection agency on my case.
They have since agreed to waive the house penalty one but kept me on the hook for the car. Terribly dishonest and disingenuous people there. I regret having recommended Johnson to my friends and family and have since recommended that they not renew their policies with them.

Worst insurance company

by CC on Sep 8, 2020

I had done an insurance claim back in March due to someone sliding into my car and pushing me into a snowbank. Johnson had put me 100% at fault for this accident even though there was nothing I could have done to prevent this accident. A few days later I had sent in dashcam footage of the accident, Johnson had then switched my adjuster without telling me and then had switched me from 100% at fault down to 50% at fault, I was exhausted trying to fight them so I gave up and took the 50%. They are now refusing to renew me and had flagged me as a high-risk driver. Just this month (in September) after finding out this news, I had tried to fight this again and they are saying the video was not clear enough to determine if the road had been narrowed to one lane due to snow, I had then sent a picture of both my car and the other ladies truck right beside each other on the road for proof that the road was, in fact, a 2 car road. After sending in this picture they refuse to email me back or call me back. I would never ever recommend this insurance company to anybody.

Not happy with car insurance reviews for your insurance company? Get a quote across up to 20 Canadian car insurers and make sure that you do not pay too much.

Worst Compnay

If I have a choice I would give them 0 stars. I used with Sсotialife financial insurance. I returned my car on Apr 15, 2020, and cancelled my car insurance at that time. Somehow Scotialife financial was transferred over to Johnson insurance, and I was shocked when I received a bill from Johnson. Because even I cancelled my policy, my files still were transferred to Johnson. I called Johnson to explain my situation, every time the agent gave a different answer, the first agent said she will contact the previous underwriter company and I can call back on the next day. When I called back JOHNSON to confirm, the other agent said they need a letter of experience from that company. I called back to them got the letter and emailed back to JOHNSON. The next day I called to see if Johnson can cancel my policy backdate the date, the agent said they need the clear cancellation letter. And they refused to do a conference call with the previous underwriter to confirm my policy was already cancelled. They make things very complicated. I was out of the country and every long-distance call costed me over an hour. A frustrating experience with Johnson. Never buy car insurance with them!
