Never felt so undervalued

1 out of 5 stars
My car got damaged in Hail in Calgary on June 14. I called them up because I needed some info... I waited for 2 hours and no response! Hence I gave up.
On hold for two hours no answer. I wanted to add car insurance for tomorrow but can’t get through. Very poor service.
I just wanted to remove one of my vehicles from my policy. I waited on hold for over 60 mins three times over the past few days with no answer. Finally gave up each time. I tried to do this online, but the website tells me I must call Customer Service! I will be switching to another provider if I can't get through today! Total waste of my time!!!
At a certain point, you can't blame everything on COVID. No one answering the phones (wait times of 3.5, 1.5, and 1 hour with no answer), no one answers the chat (now deactivated), and no one answers e-mails. How can I give a one star to customer service when there is no customer service?
They put you on hold for a very long time. If you need to talk with customer support you will have to wait between 1 to 4 hours to speak with their representative... I'm fully frustrated each time I need to speak with a TD Meloche Monnex representative.
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.
2 hours waiting on the phone yesterday, then again today, no answer! This shows how careless this company had become. Either employ more people or cancel this useless phone service. This is poor client service and shows no respect.
I called July 2 to put insurance on my car from storage. No option for a callback service and waited on hold for over half an hour before I assume it is now outside of office hours. Feedback: Add a callback service and/or make some of these options available through the website or app
I have called them several times all this week and failed due to a low battery after about some 90 minutes wait.
I have tried calling very early at 8:15am, 10:00am, 1:00pm, 4:00pm all failed to connect! Very frustrating!
I tried to rate this zero stars rather than one star. But one star appears to be the lowest possibility. Our car lease expired in July 2018. We called TD Meloche Monnex to cancel our insurance before returning the car. One year later, we received a renewal notice from TD; we called them again and reminded them that this had been cancelled one year before; they said to provide proof that the lease had expired. We provided them with the lease showing the expiry date and even the inspection report when the car was returned; they indicated that they needed some mythical "end of lease" agreement, which is not a thing. Amazingly, we have again (two years later!!) just received another renewal notice - they have now continued to charge us insurance for this car for two years since our lease expired, and they still won't cancel the insurance without the mythical "end of lease" agreement!! Have just spent 2.5 hours on the phone; their agents are very polite and empathetic but their underwriting group appears to have the mandate to squeeze customers for everything they can. We used this company for 15 years. We are now cancelling all of our home and auto policies with them; we will never, ever, ever use them again. On principle, we are taking the matter above to small claims court. I would strongly advise against insurance with this company - just not worth it.

It was amazing to me that at a time when accidents and insurance claims, in general, must be at an all-time low, TD still justifies raising auto and home insurance premiums with no explanation. Having the TD My Advantage App is pointless as new rates are always higher and do not illustrate how/if the projected discount shown in the App is considered. But the best part is having failed to reach anyone on the phone in the evenings (two attempts with 30 min waits), I have now been on hold for over 2 hours on a weekday morning. Tying up my phone line, wasting my battery...and no end in sight. Totally defeated right now.
