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!

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.

Never again

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.

The bottom of the barrel >TD

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

Not recommended

by Good luck with insurance on Oct 1, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

Don't trust them

Was assured upon purchase that I would not have to pay cancellation fee if I was selling the car rather than switching insurance companies. Now that I try to cancel I am charged a cancellation fee without explanation of how it is calculated. The supervisor refuses to show me the actual auto policy claiming I have no right to look at the the policy in print and the official wording of it all only referring me to OAP and nothing specific. Then the manager of the customer service "respectfully" hangs up on me.

Auto quote

by Thetruth on Jan 7, 2014
1 out of 5 stars

Called for a quote. Told them all info. I have two serious claims i was upfront with. She took my license number and says she sees those convictions and proceeds to tell me I am insurable, 100%. Kept in touch as I began looking for cars, and continued to get quotes and ok'd for insurance with TD. Finally found a car. Put a deposit and asked TD rep. to put the VIN and insurance in place. She says I am not insurable anymore because there are other things on my record. Was told by other reps. That the original rep. Did not look into the matter fully(even though she confirmed all the dates...so she obviously lied). Also was told they didnt have to look any further until the insurance was about to be purchased. They will do nothing. None of the reps will state they did anything wrong, even though I was misquoted on every single occasion until I was ready to pay for my insurance. Shady. Inaccurate. Inconsiderate. Dishonest. Bad business and no decency. Please, avoid this company and all others affiliated with it. They are not in the business of helping you. And they have all of their policies to back them up, so you will not win. Ever. At the risk of sounding redundant, please take your business elsewhere. This company does not deserve any hard-earned money. Leave them be. The other reviews can attest to this very same experience, in one form or another. Wish I would have read them before this. Let my experience not be regretful....please listen to this and all of the other reviews. Avoid TD Meloche Monnex.

DO NOT INSURE TRUCKS

by jessy on Jan 28, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

I was told that using my truck in any way makes my insurance null and void as that means that I need commercial insurance. So, when I had an accident and I was NOT AT work or doing any work at all then I was told that they found out I use my truck to move furniture for my business back and forth from my storage. When the accident happened they DID NOT PAY OUT ANYTHING and told the other person to SUE ME! Most terrible company ever! After they cancelled me they told me to get insurance elsewhere and then still continued to take money out of my account!!! What kind of scam is this... I paid collision insurance for years and they don't want to pay... Then they told me if I want to stop the 150 dollars coming out of my account then I have to send an email with my new insurance pink slips and then when I did they told me I had to cancel it by sending the pink slips as this disorganized group don't know how to open an email. Do not insure a truck with this company!
