Avoid at all costs

by lesliej on Sep 1, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

Normal to wait 1.5 hours for a representative. TD is also in breach of following their own complaint handling process. Awaiting TD Customer Care to respond back after THREE MONTHS of waiting. Attempted numerous calls/emails to no avail. TD Ombudsman will not participate in escalation until TD Customer Care responds, so therefore TD is able to BLOCK the complaint process. I am going to continue to fight this horrendous insurance provide. Also, the TD MyAdvantage application, which they will sell you on to provide an up to 25% discount on auto rates is non-functional. Good luck trying to get it to work for you. Take my word for it: AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Go with another provider, even if it means paying slightly more.

It's time to switch.

I have auto and home insurance with TD. My husband called recently to add his car - he was placed on hold for over 1 hour. He had to end the call only to later be put back on hold for another 1 hour. I've reached out to TD online and they've not been helpful - just trite statements about "higher than normal call volumes." I do not think they value customers at all. I see that others have had similar experiences. I had to make an auto claim 5 years ago, and they were not helpful. They did not cover the full cost of a rental car after a car accident. I ended up paying $2000 out of pocket. This, along with my recent experiences with TD, makes me think it's time to consider other companies. I have another property insured by a different company and have been very happy with them. I will look into quotes with other companies when it's renewal time with TD and move on. If you are considering TD Insurance, I suggest you look into other options instead.

Customer Service is Terrible

by Reshelle on Jul 13, 2019
1.5 out of 5 stars

Must agree with everyone's comments so far. I have never seen such terrible customer service. Their agents make up information that they do not have answers to, and you get different information from different people. Have a claim in about stolen car, and they just will not reply to my emails or calls. The adjuster called back once and just never tried again even though I left numerous messages. They have the lowest rates I have experienced, but the price reflects the service you get, unfortunately. Very disappointed.

Windshield Replacement

by Len on Jul 9, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I needed a new windshield for my Ford F-150. I was unable to get in touch with Meloche Monex on Friday before I booked an appointment with repair shop on Monday. On Monday while my truck was in to have the windshield replaced I called Meloche Monnex four times; on hold for over 20 minutes each time. I finally left a message; no call back. I ended up paying for the windshield and now have to find a way to submit the claim. There is no fax number nor is there a claims e-mail address on the website. This is terrible service. I guess I will have to send the claim in the mail.

Unprofessional Service

by Vicky on Jul 4, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I’ll start off with what seems to be the common trend, and that is the wait times are extremely long. I’ve been waiting for 2 hours and 20 minutes so far, but typically I’ve waited for an hour. So this is a record. Is there anyone working? They need to hire more people if everyone is really busy. And like others have said, they should tell you what number you are in the queue and call you back when it’s your turn like phone companies do. However, the real reason why I am posting this is because of the unprofessional customer service I have had with the adjusters for my claim. I was in a car accident earlier this year. My adjuster called me and left me a voicemail at 1 pm while I was at work (they have a record of your profession by the way so why would she call me during the way when I’m working?). I tried calling her back and left several voicemails and tried calling the claims department to which said “she’s been trying to get a hold of you. She called you on Monday.” She called me Once. I kept calling for 3 Weeks and when I tried emailing her to ask what’s the current status of my claim, she said “I don’t have info on your policy. You have to contact customer service.” That was completely irrelevant! I was even referred to her supervisor, who was just as impossible to get a hold of. Fortunately, after many calls, during the fourth week after my accident, I got through to a girl in the claims department who was so much help and filed my paperwork, who, by the way, was talking to me from Nova Scotia while I was in Ontario. Towards the end of my claim, my first adjuster finally emailed me to send her my documents, after 4 weeks. Sadly, just as I thought the nightmare was over, something else came up. I had used a rental car after my accident for one month since my car was a write-off and it was included in my insurance policy. I returned the car after and thought everything was fine. Last month, I got a notification that over $1400 has been withdrawn from my Visa. It was taken from the car rental company. I immediately called them after work and get through to a lady in accounting service. She tells me that she had been trying to get a hold of my adjuster from the insurance company and her manager because They Did Not pay the Rental Car... She emailed them saying that if they didn’t pay, she was going to have to take it out from My account and I’d have to deal with the issue. My accident was in January, and I had the accident until the end of February, so for 4 Months, TD Meloche did not pay the rental car company, and now I have to deal with it and wait on the phone to get a money transfer. And by the way, I’m still waiting for my licence plate to get released from the car dump (I did not get to remove it). This is another issue that I get to deal with. I’ve been waiting for 3 hours now since I started writing this review. The only reason I’m still with TD Meloche is because of their low rates and their insurance packages.

TD tells lies

by Peter on May 24, 2019

I’ve been with TD Meloche Monnex for almost twenty years and I’ve never made a claim or had a claim against me. Recently, my parked car was hit by a drunken driver; thankfully, two local people dragged him out of the truck and held him until the police arrived. I had a letter from TD saying that I had zero deductible and so they’d be happy to pay for the repairs. They were super friendly in the beginning but then I was told my 1998 car wasn’t worth fixing and they’d give me $1000. I reminded them of the letter and I was told “that was then, this is now” and that it was a matter of wording. I’m still in the process of talking to other people but I’m told they will say the same thing - even before I’ve had a chance to talk to them. Earlier, I left for the winter and on my return, I replaced my insurance. “Do you want the windshield coverage to continue?” I’ve never had this coverage. I was told the agent must have hit the wrong key; there was no mention of a refund. Like others, I’ve also been told I can get much cheaper coverage elsewhere, even though I’m supposed to have a cheaper rate because of being in a group. My advice is to go elsewhere.

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.

An experience from hell

by Bkhidhir on Mar 29, 2019

Nothing was harder in life than getting a hold of my adjuster. Resolving my fairly simple claim took 3 months. Not only did she never pick up, reply to her voicemails and read her emails, but she would also take weeks at a time to follow up. And, when she would be completely oblivious to how much I've been struggling to try to get her attention and taking Ubers every day from work. When she went on vacation and there was no replacement for her to take care of my claim. Her manager never ever picks up or replies to his voicemails either. Before she left for vacation she didn't tell me that I had the option of not writing off my car which is not fair and pressured me to sign a write off form in 3 hours as she's on vacation the next day for a month. I could have lost a brand new car because of an unfair estimate and she acted completely non-challenge about that. Whenever I'd call other adjusters, while she's away, they give me completely different answers to the same questions. When I called Service they forgot to tell me I'd lose collision coverage even though I asked and asked. This resulted in my having to pay off my loan after I've also had to pay out of pocket to fix the car as a result of them not explaining to me that I wouldn't be getting the cheque and instead the cheque goes directly to my lienholder. Took me maybe 5 phone calls to change my address on file. After, they finally started giving me answers they had the audacity to ask for a letter from my bank, that the bank said was highly unusual. This is also after they already confirmed, they were mailing out the cheque ... This experience was so horribly inexplicably bad that it could drive someone to insanity and alcoholism. Stay away from these people.

Stay away from them

by darkthrone unhappy with TD insurance on Mar 18, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

Worst customer service ever, no one on his desk and always leaving useless voicemails, by the end, nobody will call you back. Three adjustors were working on the same claim at the same time, which makes it confusing who to deal with. They are just bad and have internal communication issues with their managers, so they will let you waiting for long till they will reach their supervisors to resolve claim's issues. They asked to return the rental car before closing the claim and before getting the car refund, I did so because I wanted to get rid of them and the claim asap but it still not fair.

Avoids paying claims

by Alisha on Feb 27, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

First of all...stay far away from this company! We had a small accident a few weeks ago that caused minor surface damage to the rear of our vehicle. We got our own repair estimate for $2500. We took it to their guys so that we could file our claim. We waited over THREE WEEKS for them to get back to us after numerous follow-ups, only to find out work hadn't even started on our vehicle. The repair shop blamed the insurance company for not sending paperwork, and TD Meloche blamed the repair shop for being backed-up with work. We, finally, escalated it to a manager. Got a call back the next day to tell us that the vehicle was considered a write-off. We're still waiting to find out our settlement offer, apparently, there is no one we can speak to on it, and we just have to keep waiting for some indefinite time. We bought our vehicle just three years ago for $11K. And they're writing it off for approx. $3k of damage? Why even have insurance if they can just choose to write it off for whatever they want and not repair it when you file a claim. This has been a complete nightmare I wouldn't wish to anyone. Oh...and we had no rental vehicle coverage on our policy, so all this time have been down a vehicle which I understand was our choice not to take it. But you also don't expect an insurance company to take three weeks just to START processing your claim. I tried to ask for a rental vehicle at this point but of course, the answer was no.

If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.

Une très mauvaise expérience

Je suis désolée, mais je ne parle que le français. Cependant, j'espère que mon message sera lu et compras. Faites jamais affaires avec TD Assurance Meloche Monnex!!! Tout est beau jusqu'au moment où vous avez un dommage réclamé. Surtout lorsque vous êtes un nouveau client et surtout lorsque votre voiture est un peu vieille. Depuis deux semaines, je me bats à sauver notre voiture de ces fripons. C'est l'enfer! J'ai osé de demander le rapport de l'estimateur sur lequel ils avez basé leur décision de jeter notre voiture. Il était plain de niaiseries, de fausses informations et de manque de détails. De plus, ils aiment faire des offres au téléphone qui diffèrent significativement de ce qui est envoyé par écrit après. Avant d'accepter m'importe quoi d'eaux, il faut bien lire. Ils sont capable de s'obstiner même pour des montants qui ne sont pas significatifs pour la poche de la classe moyenne! Canada est plaine de bonnes compagnies d'assurance. Si j'avais lu vos commentaires avant d'embarquer avec cette compagnie, j'aurais sauvé beacoups de temps, de l'argent et surtout notre voiture. Elle aurait était réparée, si j'avais choisi une autre compagnie d'assurance. Avec ce commentaire, j'espère fortement d'avoir aidé au moins à une personne de choisir sa compagnie d'assurance.
