Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

I had been with TD since 2001 (so over 12 years).
At first my auto rates were very reasonable.
But noticed that my rates have been going up for the last few years.
I'm in my late 30's, have home insurance with them, have had a clean record for over 9 years (my only accident was in 2004 and was a both at fault accident, but has since been wiped off my record). I don't drive anything fancy or racy. Yet this year's renewal went up over 15%. When I called, the customer rep had no answer, only to say, it might be the car you drive.
So I have since left, as I used a insurance broker who found me another company 45% less!
I have since moved both my home and auto insurance over.

Was in a parked car with engine turned off. Other party smashed into the vehicle. Was apologetic and even wrote a sorry letter. Yet the insurance company took over one year to decide that it was 50 percent my fault for sitting in a vehicle without the engine on and legally parked and getting hit by someone to acknowledged responsibility. Would not pay for my deductible. Had to take them to small claims court for them to pay.

Cancelled my home, and three vehicle insurance at the next renewal and paid only a few bucks more for an insurance company with a reputation of paying when they need to.

If you are filing a claim with them read your rights on the FSCO website because they depend on your ignorance to deny you.

These guys charge WAY too much for what they offer. Renewal time came around this year and my policy went up 50% higher than the competition. I received renewal documents and ignored them as I did not want to renew, and I had not given them my banking information. I payed for 1 year with credit card. When my renewal came up, I looked for alternatives.

Months later I receive a letter saying I now owe them $120 which is half of my new coverage, for 3 months of coverage. Calling them up to debate this ends with me learning they can just auto renew my contract without me signing a damn thing, and charge me a huge cancellation fee without any notice what so ever.

Stay the hell away from these guys.

Long term customer with Meloche (over 10 Year). My wife and I are both over 50, no at fault accidents in over 30 years of driving and both have clean records. We have two cars and our home insured with TD. Rates were reasonable but over the past few years have noticed rates creaping up even though we have never made claims. We have been in the same home for 30+ years with no claimes and our insurance went up 25%. I complained and they knocked it down by 10%. I sold one of my cars as we no longer need it and they raised the insurance cost of my single car by 32%. I have called 4 other insurance companies to get quotes and rates are 40% lower with the same coverage. I will be cancelling my car insurance and will shop around for my home insurance.

I have what I thought was a simple claim man backed into me in a parking lot, my car was off no issue right? Wrong this led to a claims proses that took almost two years to come to conclusion and led to them arbitrarily deciding that it was to be a 50/50 claim. I called them almost weekly looking for updates. My first adjuster called me only once and then went on maternity leave. The second adjuster I didn't even know existed until my third adjuster called to let me know she was handling it from now on. It went even more down hill from there, she was rude and quite short when on the phone. I received multiple promises of a "team leader" calling me one "the next 24 hours" which never happened. And after more then a year I get a call out the blue albeit only after I contacted the TD ombudsman letting me know they had to settle for only a 50/50 claim. I then told my adjuster this was 100% unacceptable and that if this accident went against my record I would leave TD meloche, her response was "that's fair" in a careless tone as if my buisness was worthless. So to sum it up: Never ever do business with TD Meloche they don't care about you at all!

I tried to pay my bill by cash at the local TD bank with my bill in hand. The teller was unable to process the transaction ( the account # on the bill was in the wrong format). The teller tried to call meloche but was unable to get through. So I called meloche myself and waited on hold for 20-30 mins. The man from meloche told me the best thing to do was to send a certified cheque by overnight post. So I went to my bank got a cheque and jumped through that hoop. Later I called to get a quote to add my car to my home insurance. I was informed I had no home insurance. Apparently my bank printed an official cheque not a certified cheque. Meloche cancelled my home insurance without a phone call. I am told by my bank an official cheque is the same as certified. So I called and explained all this meloche and to tell them my bank would vouch for my story. Melcohes decision: I owe them $100 and I can't get insurance from them for 5 years.

I had an accident, in which I was not responsible. However, due to lack of support from TD insurance, I lost the case. They never sent any one to accident's location. The accident was in private parking, and police did not get involved. They just wasted time to lose the case. My adjustor never picked up the phone, and never called back even though I left messages so many times. It is not a fair situation for customers to be part of their dirty game.

My insurance went from about 1300 to over 4000 because TD Home and Auto thought I lied to them. I did not and I proved it. The city mistakenly put something on my abstract so that is why they though I lied. After weeks of fighting the city, they finally admitted their error and gave me a form, circled the infraction and wrote "on in error" as it would still take a couple weeks for it to officially come off my abstract. I sent that to TD they literally said, "we don't care" once my abstract was clean a few weeks later I sent that to them, they still did not care. They still felt it was fair to charge me over 4000 dollars insurance for a 10 year old jeep worth about 6 or 7000.

All I can say is if you value your money, stay away from this company.
