Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

I have been with TD Insurance for over 30 years. The drive habit TD My Advantage requires is way beyond what normal rule-abiding drivers would do, even observing the speed limit 100% of the time and turning corners accelerate and decelerate carefully. What is more horrible is that you lose data for no apparent reason. I recently received an email from TD telling me I had not been using my app for a while. But we use the car about 2-3 trips every week! We have 2 drivers and each is required to drive 1000 KM before qualifying. At this rate of losing data, they can easily disqualify us, after we drive as if there was a sword over our heads, scared to be penalized. I have driven for 6 months and I did not know how many KMs I had driven until I was told the accumulated mileage was only 123 KM! What?! I had one trip that exceeded 123 KM alone! But what can you do? The app does NOT even give you the total mileage driven! You are basically putting blind faith on this app and hoping a fair recording. WRONG. I have seen nothing fair so far! The app won't even tell you how many accumulated mileage you have. You have to call in to check! So basically, it's their words vs no words. Then the data saved on my cell phone failed to upload (even though it shows clearly on my cellphone and we have not changed any setting). We had to reinstall the program losing yet another 6 days of mileage, still not sure downloading actually solved the problem! (Until we check in). Good Grief! To be fair, you do receive a 5% discount signing up for the My Advantage program. Expect little more than the 5% you get. Don't let the app discount notes fool you! You won't get it. The anxiety and unhappiness this program brings to our family are making us lose trust in the program and the TD Insurance company.

The vehicle was recovered by Calgary police when they arrested the perp driving the vehicle and charged with theft under 5,000. The vehicle was impounded where it seemed to have been forgotten by the insurance company.

It took a year of constant calls and emails to the insurance adjustors. Adjustor finally paid 3,100 for the vehicle even though I had bought that vehicle for $4500 just weeks prior to theft and had provided pictures showing the condition of the vehicle. Their first offer was $2600. During the one year to settle this claim they paid $15,000 in storage and towing. If this was my only vehicle, how would I have gotten to work or lived?

Unfortunately this review won't accept zero stars therefore I had to rate them a one.

Interestingly the Insurance Ombudsman indicated that they were trying to push the claim past one year so they would not have to pay it.

My accident occurred on December 2nd, 2016. There were issues with my vehicle once repairs were complete at the beginning of January. I have made several attempts to contact my claims adjuster, along with his colleague since January 5th, 2017. I have not received any responses from either individual.

Then, I receive a generic 'Closing Notice' in the mail dated January 30, 2017.

I attempted to present my problem to a manager on two separate occasions (February 24th and February 28th). In both instances, Claims Advisors assured me that a supervisor/manager will be in contact with me within 48 hours. No one has contacted me in either instance following the 48 hours.

I contacted the automobile claims department once again and spoke with a Senior Claims Advisor. She looked into my file and advised that the manager assigned to my claim, could no longer be reached.

My problem remains unresolved.

My ex-husband and I separated and I called TD telling them my new address and that if he made any changes to the auto insurance, to let me know. I was driving the car at the time. I found that my ex husband called and cancelled the policy over the phone and the cancellation letter was sent to his friend's address which was not on file. I called TD by chance and they apologized that they have in fact gone ahead and cancelled it because my ex husband said he sold the car. I had to send them the car registration with my name and tell them again that I had the car. They said that they would have covered me in the event of an accident if I had been driving without knowledge of my cancelled policy but they won't cover me now since I'm aware. I told them to mail me the cancellation letter but they haven't done so over a month. They can't tell me who they mailed it to and any details of conversation they had with my ex-husband even though they established that he was lying and endangered me and our 1year old child because of driving without insurance. Such a headache dealing with them. They don't answer my calls anymore. I m not going back to them.

So TD Insurance after ripping us off for more than 12 years, and increasing their premium, their last tactic if you want to add another car to your policy, you need to provide a registration before they give you insurance.
How stupid is that I don't know, I guess TD insurance want to walk away from every client who lives in the North East, or Airdrie, because all the hail storm that happening in this area.
Advice for everyone if you are with any of the TD insurance companies, call another insurance provider, and you will be amazed how much you will be saving.
If you have any bad experience with TD Insurance, please share so we all know we need to expose them, personally, I was able to find out few unbelievable stories who bad they are, rejecting hail damage claim, and so on.
Took me 15 years to figure out TD Insurance is suck.

As insurance companies work mostly over he phone, the lack of transparency, follow up, communications and integrity is sorely lacking at Meloche Monnex. I was a customer for over two years and paid $120 monthly, I was told that I had the comprehensive coverage yet this month for He first time I called about two small items, my windshield that has stone chips from the highway and a scratch from someone vandalizing my car by keying the side of the body. After numerous transfers, voicemails, promises of managers calling back and wrong as well as conflicting information being provided every time I call- I decided to cancel my insurance policy with TD. They do not care about the customer at all. They did not acknowledge their error whatsoever. They stuck to the script and each person would repeat that I was sent insurance policy by mail and henceforth it was my fault all along. It doesn't matter to them that they have made a mistake and that they should at the very least apologize and try to retain the customer. They have completely alienated and upset me because they are thieves. TD should be sued for their business practices.

I had probably the worst conversation with an agent (Melorie) at about 10.15am today March 24, 2016. I'm considering replacing/selling one of my cars so I called for a quote for the new car and obviously I also called my former insurance provider "The Personal Insurance" and they had far better quotes and extremely friendly service and I felt like I was not being rushed off the call like with TD. It sounded like the TD agent had a customer count target for the day anyway I got agitated with the whole conversation and asked her if I cancelled the car insurance for the car I'm selling today whether that would affect the remaining car (I insure 2 cars and my house with them) She emphatically said yes but could not give me the dollar amount because of "system limitation " she could only estimate the increase (punishment for dropping off one car) at 15%- yikes. I then asked about my home insurance and again TD was significantly higher and with less items covered - I asked about matching and again this was a no but they got me to the retentions department and they knocked off some amount but not much. Knowing that I might also cancel the home insurance when it comes up for renewal I asked how this would affect my only car that would be insured with TD (since it still has a few month on the policy)and again they could not estimate it because of .........you guessed it " system limitation" ......this is disappointing but I have to look out for myself and my pocket .....I think its time to let TD clean up their act. This is sad for a company I truly respect. Other reviews here don't help either but I have a feeling TD may be a few bad apples and they urgently need to improve their systems unless this is a gimmick so as to spring up surprises whenever you want to cancel your policy. Customers should be provided with full information all the time so as to make informed decisions- this is era of transparency.

Had insurance with TD Meloche Monnex for 4 years at the time of my no fault accident. Accident happened in September 2014, visited their third party four times for assesment and their result for all four times turned out to be the same. Other doctors have different information from what they have all the time. One example, my wrist was damaged in the accident, td third party claim it's soft tissue injuries, other doctors said something else other than soft tissue is wrong with it. Ultrasound now shows inflammation.

I always wonder why people complain that their insurance company treating them like criminals at the time of a claim, and now I understand. I over heard the doctors conversation, TD third party saying that "these patients don't understand that what information we give the insurance company, that's what they go by, we get paid anyways". The next time I write about this issue, I will be putting the name of the company. I had no problems with TD before my accident, now I can't even successfully complete my classes in university and get over 60%. Sometimes I can't even get off my bed, I can't sit for more than 25 min, I can't bend, can't lift anything, having pinches in my back and legs and arms getting num but yet I have soft tissue injuries. I cry everyday because of many reasons, I don't know what my life will be like as of now. This is my second winter from the time of the accident and my pain just seem to be getting worst. TD neny all my claims until I see their third party even though they get proof from professionals. TD would put everything thru if was dead with no question ask. Sometimes I really wonder if these ppl are actually human.

I never thought I would see TD like this, but they are just like any other insurance company and they get bigger and bigger everyday because of us, their customers. But why do they treat us the way they do? They are only defending money they don't give a shit about our wellbeing.

My car was involved in a not at fault accident on a Saturday around mid October so I called TD on the Monday to report it.........No one got back to me till Thursday (no biggie) but, this adjuster was simply terrible. After he initiated first contact, that was it. I was the one that had to chase him around and call and leave messages like 4 times a day to get any sort of update. He wouldn't call me and tell me what was going on. My car ended up being a total loss and was written off and scheduled for their salvage company to come pic it up. Again I had to call to find this out. It was actually the salvage company that contacted me to tell me they were coming to get my car (I was like huh???), no word from my adjuster. Then he goes on holiday but leaves to forwarding number. so for 2 weeks I was getting transferred around and getting "you have to talk to your adjuster" at the end of it all. I was able to get a rental around Halloween time however.Then I call in again to settle everything and by chance I talk to an adjuster who was nothing short of spectacular. What I have been trying to get done with my useless adjuster for a couple of weeks she was able to complete in a few minutes. My checks where issued out (I got 2, towing and car write off). I had to return the rental however on November 9th. Now enters a new phase of the war. All of this was settle with the wonderful random adjuster on November 5th, now my useless adjuster comes back from holiday. I could go on and on but long story short. Today is November 23 and even tho my write off check was issued on the 5th (18 days prior) I still have not received it and I get a different story every time. Most frequently they tell me that its still in the mail........I got the towing check on the 9th. How can two cheques issued the same day be so far delayed. In total since all this started I have been without a car for about a month. On top of it all the customer service was horrendous, I lack the capability to literate into words how bad this experience has been ......And here I thought this is the exactly reason we pay insurance. To be insured when these situations arise......Thank you TD. I don't care how much more expensive my next insurer is, as long as they are in no way connected to TD I will be happy

I'm going to give you the facts...with TD I paid $550/month and that was with minimal coverage, being a relatively new driver (4 years). PC financial quoted $334/month and Belair quoted $210/month. TD upped my premium due to an at fault accident, however when calling Belair, they informed me that the accident was not on my record, apparently the other car never completed filing the claim. TD obviously has this information but has only increased my premium. In addition, the Manager from TD I spoke with was very rude and refused to cancel my policy even when I agreed to pay the cancellation fee. I am going to call again tomorrow because every rep or manager has something different to say. We shall see.
