Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

After my car accident TD provided excellent customer service, I was very impressed. However, after my claim was closed and I learned I needed to replace the car seat in my car and that TD would pay for it, it was painful trying to get a hold of my representative. She would either not answer my emails or take forever to get back to me. Customers shouldn’t have to chase down their representatives and hound them for answers via email and/or phone. My experience started great and ended with disappointment. Still, haven’t received payment for the new car seat either!

TD insists on only using mail for communication, no matter the circumstance. They refuse to contact anyone for any reason using any form of communication other than mail. I had an issue with my mailing address and they sent about 12 letters, informing me that they were going to cancel my insurance due to a payment issue. Eventually, they cancelled it, without informing me by any method other than by mail (note that they had my email and phone number on file). I never received any of these notifications and was driving with invalid insurance for about 4 months because of this. Then, because I had an amount owing, they got their collection agency to contact me. They were able to contact me immediately, of course, since they tried any method other than mail. This is the only reason I found out my insurance had been cancelled. I paid them immediately. I have never had any issue with payment for any service in my life, except for with TD. If they had contacted me by phone or email, I would have been able to clear things up right away and would have taken measures to ensure this would never happen in the future. I tried to reinstate my insurance with them, but they would not grant me home insurance due to my previous non-payment, even though I had paid everything I owed in full. I went with another company, but they would not insure me until they had confirmation from TD that my account had been settled. So I went through the horribly long wait to speak with someone by phone, and after being put on hold multiple times, I was told they would send me confirmation the next day. I assumed this meant they would email it to me. However, when I checked with them two days later, it turned out they were mailing it to me. I spent about an hour trying to convince them to scan the document and email it to me or to just send me the original saved document, but of course, they refused. I cannot for the life of me understand what they have against alternate forms of communication. Why do they insist on doing everything with the oldest, slowest, most unreliable, and most expensive form of communication? To make a long story short, this company has the worst customer service of any company I have ever experienced, and will never contact you except by mail.

I tried to cancel my insurance. It became a 3-week process resulting in additional withdrawals from my account including a penalty. Very disappointing and frustrating. I would NOT recommend them to anyone. Stick with the smaller companies where you get more personal service.

Their rates keep going up and I rarely drive as I am a retiree with an immaculate driving record. I just don't get it!

My ex-wife and I shared a Home-Auto Insurance. So when we separated and changed our addresses I called and they told me I had to cancel my policy, and that my wife had to call to approve it. She did but they just cancelled the auto portion of my insurance. They didn't cancel the home insurance and of course they continued charging me for it.

They never mentioned that I was subject to cancellation fees and the last operator I chat with told me that I would be penalized with a small portion because of cancellation fees. That small portion represents a 70% of my monthly payment. How in the world a 70% is a small portion???

Moreover, they will refund an extra payment they charged me in 2-3 business weeks? So they screwed me up in every way they could.

Stay away from this robbers!!!!

A 4-cylinder car being intentionally rated as a 6-cylinder car. Letters with ownership sent to their office were never responded. Agents were either playing dumb or giving me run-around for the past 9 years. Request for refund of overcharged premium was also ignored. I urge all existing clients to compare quotes with other insurance companies. You will find a better deal somewhere else!
