Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

When I came to Canada I had great trouble finding car insurance that was affordable. I was quoted in excess of $3000 per year from many companies …for a second hand car that cost $2500. Finally I got in touch with Meloche Mennox, who happily accepted my 20 years non-claims history from my home country insurance company. Fast forward three years and my car is totalled on HWY 1…not at fault, black ice, walloped by another vehicle also hitting black ice. When I start the processing's I'm told they're sending me a claims form. I wait. And wait. The rental car I was given for 1 week get's returned. It's January and I'm still waiting. Another couple of weeks go by and nothing arrives. I call them and they say it was sent. I wait a few more days. I get angry. I call again. Then they finally communicate and say (matter of factly) it was sent via email. Email? To the wrong address. Anyway, I complete the form (which I had to print out anyway and it gets sent to them. I noticed when the claim is accepted and I get my insurance paid out - after about 8 weeks, the MM had also taken an insurance payment out of my account - after the date they'd accepted the claim and declared it a write-off.

Despite 7 months of calls to try and retrieve this over-payment, and despite every person I spoke with agreeing that this was their mistake - I got nothing. Only empty promises ...and lies upon lies. A paltry sum paid to me for years of loyalty and no claims. Go figure.

Fast forward a year. I also had my house insured by them and my mortgage from them. They hounded me relentlessly to buy more insurance. Every night for months I've get a call at 9pm. I told them about my car insurance fiasco - every single night. When my mortgage and house insurance was due for renewal - I took action with my dollars. Never trust them. Remember how they also refused to pay out after the flood disaster?

By the way …I'm writing this 10 years later. Never forget!!

Have been a customer with TD since 1996, through University Alumni Program, both Auto and Home with no claims. Twenty years of being a customer and have I ever got a thank you. NO! But what I do get is ever increasing rates. University Alumni Programs with TD Monnex are such a SCAM! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. Have started to shop around as I will be saying goodbye to TD as it is long overdue. TD = SCAM

I've been insured by TD Meloche Monnex for over 15 years. I shopped around for quotes before my renewal in August and found several lower rates. When I called TD to cancel my policy, I was redirected to their retentions service. The man there told me they don't match rates with other companies, but once TD's discount for snow tires is implemented my rate would be lower than the other quotes I got. He told that all I had to do was call back in January to get my rate adjusted. Given that, I decided it would just be easier to renew with TD.

It's now January and the snow tire discount has been implemented. I talked to another CSR and she says I need to wait till August to get the discounted rate. She admitted that what the man told me was wrong but she could not do anything about it due to "system limitations."

I was lied to and cheated by TD. I thought TD had more integrity than this but I was wrong. Beware what the CSRs tell you, once they have you locked into a contract, they won't give a damn about you.

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.

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

was at not fault accident, police didnt give ticket, but TD marked it as at fault accident. 10 times i kept calling their claims dept, all they wud do keep transferring me from one person to other..customer service extremely rude. Its just a blind hole where we keep giving money and get no return..HATE THEM..

I was with TD auto insurance more than 4 years, never made claim, never had payment issues . and my renewal they added 90$ without any explanation, I switched to Co operators, and found cheaper than even what my original premium. Also heard from other friends that they are increasing the premiums of all their customers.
I am sure they are losing many customers.

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.

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.
