rip off and suck

by Mahmoud Mourra on Dec 14, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

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.

Same repair 3 times badly.

by Blubaru on Dec 5, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

This vehicle is a 2015 Subaru Forester XT pearl blue colour with only 9,300KM (approx. 5,600 miles) on it and it is in excellent condition other than the improperly done repair work.

The damage to the rear bumper cover caused by a hit and run, while the car was parked, was very minor but it required a replacement bumper cover due to the black textured portion being scuffed which, if that hadn't occurred, would not have needed a new bumper cover.

Took it to the "preferred shop" which painted the bumper cover the wrong shade of colour, it was too dark which was very noticeable and devalued the vehicle further and much greater than the accident damage cause. The vehicle was sent back to fix the problem but came back with the problem extended to both side's rear quarter panels by spraying them the colour of the improperly coloured rear bumper cover and there was overspray on the driver's side front and rear doors and the paint had orange peel. The vehicle was sent back to a different location of the "preferred" body shop which did a better paint job, no orange peel and the overspray problem was almost completely eliminated (there's still a little left) but the improper colour was extended even further along the sides of the rear of the car and, because of improper masking there's a line of paint forming a continuous line along the black portion of the bumper cover. Also, there's a stainless steel protection plate along the top of the rear bumper cover that was improperly installed, it has 3 places along the edge where it is puckered and not stuck to the bumper cover. As well, the rear mud flap on the passenger side is not tight against the rear side of the car at the wheel well. The bumper cover is not quite plumb with the tail lights, it is protruding a bit out on the passenger side under the tail light trim whereas on the other side it is slightly in under the tail light trim. That was the 3rd attempt to remediate the problem caused by the first repair attempt now they want to try a 4th time at a totally different body shop. We met the insurance company rep and the body shop owner and had a discussion but my wife and I have no confidence that the improperly painted repair will be remedied back to the OEM colour it should be. There's no guarantee that the paint colour of the repair will ever be done correctly, and there may be other problems such as described in the 3rd repair attempt or more than that. There's a lot more to this than what I've written but I can't deal with writing more about it. We are now dealing with the insurance company's customer service department but, considering what has occurred, we are not hopeful of a satisfactory resolution.

Not a great experience...

by Auto Insurance on Sep 26, 2016

I have had one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever encountered while trying to do a simple hail claim with TD. I was parked at the Calgary airport over the Aug long weekend, and while I was away, we got a hail storm. When I returned to find my poor car dinged up from hail, I called to make a claim (the first time I've ever done so in my life).

I didn't hear anything back for the first couple of weeks, so I called them back and got a name of my adjuster. I called AND emailed this person. Still didn't hear back, so I called the claims line again only to be told they had changed my adviser to someone else. I called and emailed this person, and after another week I did hear back, and was scheduled in for an assessment on Sept 9 (everyone else I knew with hail damage had their cars fixed, or pay-outs made before I even got to speak with someone!).

The estimate place said someone from TD would be in touch in the next few days to go over the estimate and claim with me. Another week went by and I hadn't heard anything, so I called and emailed the adjuster who had made the appointment. When again I didn't hear back, I had decided that I wanted to speak with a manager. I called the claims line, and they told me that AGAIN I had been re-assigned to a different adjuster (that's 3 now if you're counting).

I said I wanted to talk to a manager. They are not in the same building as the adjusters, so the person on the phone didn't think they could help, but I asked them to transfer me to the receptionist at the correct office and I would ask them to physically go find someone that would actually talk to me and tell me what was going on. I finally got a manager, Moe, who apologized, and offered to take over my case and get it sorted out.

While I was on the phone with him, this 3rd adjuster person called me (we are now well over a month since I made the claim, and that was the FIRST call I received from anyone at TD). Moe was moderately helpful and at least gave me some information on how to move forward. I then emailed him today to follow up on my decisions for the claim (this time the delay was on me as I wanted to research and ensure I was making the best decision), and soon after received a phone call from someone else who said Moe had asked to take over my account (person #5 now).

I HATE to think what this would have been like if I had been in a serious accident and not just hail damage. I really hope someone from TD actually reads this and does something about the horrible service that I have to assume other people are also receiving. I have been a TD customer of some sort since I was 10 years old, and am truly shocked and appalled at how bad this experience of submitting a simple hail claim has been. I am a manager for a company that promotes good customer service, and if any of our customers went through what I have been going through this past couple of months, there would be a lot of people looking for new jobs...

On the positive side, as I don't like to write negative reviews, the people on the customer service side who take your money, are quite helpful and lovely to deal with... go figure.

Stole money for two years

by Mohammed on Jul 20, 2016

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.

Incompetent customer service

by screwedbyTD on May 24, 2016
2 out of 5 stars

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!!!!

Unacceptable service

by Nah on May 3, 2016
1.5 out of 5 stars

I was switching vehicles and called TD to get my insurance switched to my new car. I waited on hold for over 1 hour and 15 minutes. Unacceptable. After I got through to someone, I expressed how important this call was, as I was picking up my new car the next day and needed the insurance papers faxed to my dealership in order to pick up my car. The rep was extremely unhelpful, and did not finish my requests. This resulted in me not being able to get my car when it was supposed to be picked up. I am extremely disappointed and will be switching my insurance with a new company because the service you provided was extremely unprofessional, and unacceptable.

Car Write-off

by Dbone on Apr 29, 2016
4 out of 5 stars

I had my first ever experience with TD insurance in March/April 2016 (after being with them for about 7 years). I have mixed feelings about the process. We purchased the extra "Cost Replacement Solution" for our 2015 vehicle. That vehicle was written off in a not-at-fault accident, and TD provided (over the phone) the reimbursement cost of a new vehicle of the same model and trim level of the car we had. I had already done my research on the cost of a new car, so when it was quoted to me at about $6,000 less than expected I was flabbergasted. After a bit of pressing, I was e-mailed their report they received from our dealership. I was able to see by this we were being cheated by both the dealership and by TD. First, the report shows the cost of the car minus the incentives at the time (which is $3000 off if buying cash). We did not buy the car with cash - we were financing. Incentives for that is $1500 off. Also, for some reason, the salesman at the dealership offered the insurance company the price of the car without the dealer inflation. This is not a price any Joe Blow can walk in off the street and get by the way. Also, we did our own research and the trim level that we had on our car was now rare to find, and there were no colours left of what we wanted. We now had to look at a 2017 model which is even more money.
In the end after trying to get the value back that was equal to the car we just lost, we believe we received a fair deal. But it took a bunch of e-mails and phone calls to get this. All told, we're probably out $2000 on a $27,000 car.
The gentleman we spoke with was a nice enough fellow. I understand that he's trying to get the best deal for TD, but with enough pushing you can get more than the initial quote. Also, I didn't like how pushy TD was about when to return the rental vehicle. I needed a rental until I got a new car, and they were only willing to give me 2 business days. Luckily, we were able to get a new car, and approved for a loan before even paying the other loan off.

Ripped off for 9 years!

by LongTermPain on Mar 30, 2016
2 out of 5 stars

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!

Selling one of my cars

by Marto on Mar 24, 2016
1.5 out of 5 stars

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.

TD never again

I have been with TD for four years always paid on time, but every year my rates went up. Both my wife and I have clean driving records and have been diving since 1974 and 1978. We drive an 06 Cobalt 10 km a day. This years they want 1934.00 per year. I got other quotes at half the price. So bye bye TD find someone else to rob.
