Please, STAY AWAY!

I'd like to start by saying in order to get a 1* rating by me, you'd have to be unprofessional, arrogant, complacent & willing to outright lie to your customer. TD Insurance covers all of those basis.

In May of 2016, I was a victim of a wildfire in Fort McMurray, that sadly took my home away & everything I've ever worked hard for. Surprisingly, my car was still standing on the road that I abandoned it on because of police ordering everyone to run on foot, even though everything around it burned.

Dealing with TD since has been NOTHING short of a nightmare after another nightmare.

There was a misunderstanding in my policy (me thinking I was protected because I was paying for some sort of 1-million dollar coverage) & also a Gold Premium Package. It all sounds reassuring & fancy until you actually need it & it's NOT the kind of coverage you think you're paying for.

I was given 1/3rd of what I owned & had an experience over the phone with one of their associates not realizing he didn't hang up on his end, & all I could hear was him belittling myself & my mother with another co-worker in the background. I had vice presidents & a senior manager call to "apologize" but that's all for show, they don't mean it & don't let them fool you into thinking they do.

Moving on from my Tenants Policy, now begins my Auto Mobile claim...

The associate I was dealing with about my car was calling everyday to give me an update about my vehicle - which was always the same, that it was still waiting to go into the shop but it was in a secured lot & he couldn't get in touch with them to find out more details - until about a week & a half ago when he stopped calling. I'd also like to mention that he asked ME to make phone calls for HIM because he was "extremely busy & wasn't sure when he'd be available to work on my claim." He also mentioned that he & his manager would be working on extending our rental due to the circumstance of the wildfire & the long wait for repair shops. This was all talked about around June 15-20th, somewhere in between that time frame.

Just yesterday, July the 3rd, I answered the phone to the company who TD Insurance rented a vehicle for me was calling to tell me that TD stopped paying since the 23rd of June & that I would have to start paying out of my pocket if I wished to keep it longer. I told them my Insurance extended the policy, but they said no phone call was made to them.

And so then I called TD Insurance, July 2nd, to find out what was going on.

The associate working on my claim explained to me that he was still working with his manager on extending the rental & hasn't gotten an answer back yet. And that he "assumed MY car was taken care of in the shop because myself or the autobody shop didn't call him with updates," so he stopped working on it.

I asked to speak with his manager at this point. He told me his manager would try & call me back. I waited 2 hours, no call from him, so I called again. Finally I got the manager on the phone & of course he was arrogant. He wanted to argue with me, not help me, & when told his associate was to blame, he kept repeating, "I fail to see how my associate is to blame. How is this his fault?"

I also have a voice mail of the associate apologizing for his mistake, that he should have been on top of it but wasn't & that he would work on getting the rental extended with the help of his manager. The manager also told me that they weren't going to extend it to help us out. Neither of them had plans to call & tell me this, or else I would have returned the rental when it was due to go back so that I wouldn't have another expense.

...

They'll treat you with arrogance & talk to you like you're stupid when they make mistakes & won't own up for it.

They put crooks in place of managers on purpose to deal with us paying customers, so that finally we will just give up & say it's not worth it anymore.

You'll pay them money for a service that they'll try & pass off onto you.

And you'll hear constant apologies about mistakes they've made because they decided to take their time with your claims.

STAY AWAY... and if you decide to still go through with getting insurance through TD, record every conversation you have with them & let them know that you're doing it so that it's legal. Ask a million questions until you thoroughly understand your policy - & make sure that person doesn't use words like, "I think so," or, "I'm pretty sure," because that's when you know they don't know what they're selling you.

Be smarter than these crooks.

Misrepresnetation

by NASIMBANU on Sep 25, 2016

Hello,
I have had very bad experience with TD Insurance and very disappointed to see the way Claim Adjuster has misrepresented me by her contradict email. Before giving me any offer rented car or claim amount of money. My car has been salvaged and i came to know about when i have received the letter from Alberta Vehicle Registration.

After this incident i have decided to close my account with TD BANK and move on to other BANK.

She contradict herself by email. in email she asked me when your are going to repair car otherwise close file and second email asked me accept
her offer of money and my car not repairable.

She did not notified me about salvage of car, i could not able to go for work. when i decided talk to her Manager, she denied to transfer her call to Manager. she wanted to settle with her offer. she was rude and not respond me by email and phone.

I complain to HR department, but i have mental and financial loss because of her misrepresentation.

Where do I even begin...

I've been with TD Insurance for over 5 years for both my home and auto policies.

Recently, I was parked in a grass field at a festival and hit a rut while leaving which bottomed out the front of the car and caused some damage to the front bumper cover and some stuff in behind. Was going to pay out of pocket to get it fixed, but the estimate ended up to be over $3000 (who knew plastic was so expensive)... so I decided to claim it thru TD.

I paid my deductible and they had one of their preferred shops fix the damage and provided me with a rental for a week (which was not even comparable to the car I was driving) - Strike #1.

The claims process was straightforward but trying to get a hold of the adjuster was like pulling teeth. Seems all calls are screened and are sent directly to voicemail... it would then take 1-2 days for them to bother to call you back - Strike #2.

The final straw was the ignorant and rude voicemail I received from one of their agents today that said "Due to your recent $3000 claim, we are not renewing your policy. I suggest you look online for another provider. Goodbye" Keep in mind, my renewal date is July 1st. Thanks so much for the sufficient notice! /sarcasm.

I ended up using Kanetix.ca to find another insurer and had a new home and auto policy within 30 minutes which ended up SAVING me over $1000/yr.

TD Insurance can be summed up as follows:
- Ridiculously expensive
- Terrible customer service (rude agents or agents who don't know what they are doing and have to ask a manager for help every 5 minutes)
- Ridiculously long hold times when calling in
- Rates continuously increase every year with no justification
- Insurance adjusters hide behind voicemail

STAY AWAY from these crooks

Near Death Exp - Not Covered

by Very Dissapointed on Dec 8, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

I am dissatisfied and extremely disappointed with the lack of service that I have been receiving with TD insurance and I would not recommend them to anyone. I was stopped at a red light on November 6th when a roll of truck rolled back. The 2 beams of the truck crushed my hood and my window and if it wasn't for my fast thinking; I jumped out of the car, I could have been crushed as well. I jumped out of the car and started yelling at the driver that his truck was rolling back.

TD called me on December 1st and advised me that my car would be ready and drove from Woodbridge to Mississauga to pick it up and when I arrived at the Shop I noticed the engine light that comes on. The 10,000 pounds that crushed my car also damaged the internal cam shaft of my car and now it is leaking. I have been told by the shop that TD will not be covering for this damage!! My car was running perfectly before the accident and NOW TD does want to pay for full coverage.

In addition to my near death experience, I have been told by TD that my policy has a $1000.00 NO FAULT DEDUCTIBLE, which I had no idea that my policy had. I was thought to believe that $1000.00 would be charged to me when the accident is AT MY FAULT.

Four weeks have passed and I'm left with a $1000.00 bill plus $1,000's more to fix the cam shaft and the leaking through the head gasket!

I have been in contact with some lawyers and the local media to bring this matter to everyone's attention and to help others who are left with $1000.00 bill. I cannot believe the multi million dollar company is taking full advantage of the consumer!!

Rip offs

by Michael Thorne on Jan 21, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Your company stole thousands of dollars from me by lying about my insurance coverage and then your ombudsman who is supposed to handle issues NEVER contacted me after I asked them to. This has been years now where I have you guys lying to me in every conversation I had. I was told the recording of me asking for I strange was A)never existed since I never called, well I had the phone record proving I did. B)I called but didn't ask about my insurance which was an outright lie because the day I realized I was out of work and could hardly move I called the only two loans I had to make sure I had insurance. C)the call recording was corrupted and couldn't be reviewed. The company cost me thousands of dollars in a time of need when I was hurt and out of work and I will never stop mentioning it because everytime someone says "they will look into it" nothing ever happens. I paid for your services coming out of a bankruptcy and the interest was near 20% and you guys still felt like screwing me over for 6 months insurance coverage because of a mistake made by one of your employees. When I was finally able to walk again I was able to check my paperwork and noticed I had insurance all along. You guys are despicable. I will remember to post and warn others about your company frequently. Go ahead and try and charge me for slander for speaking the truth. Don't bother messaging me to "sort this out" as you have many times in the past and still always "regret to inform me there's nothing you can do" well there's nothing I can do but continue to spread my story.

Worst insurance company

by Miklo79 on Feb 8, 2020

Absolutely terrible experience with TD Insurance. I filed a claim for severe damage to my bumper and undercarriage of the car. I was driving down a dark road late at night (no streetlights) and as another car was about to pass me going the opposite direction. Just as the car passed I was struck by a moving object. I know with 100% certainty that it was a moving object as I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye just before the impact was made. I assumed it was an animal since we do have a lot of incidents like that on that particular road. TD insurance lied to me throughout the process, first telling me that the adjuster would likely be there to take pictures the next day. It ended up taking 4 days. During that time I was stuck paying for a rental car. TD insurance called me on the 4th day after the claim was reported to tell me that they were changing the comprehensive claim to an at-fault accident and claimed I hit a pothole or chunk of ice in the middle of the road. As I mentioned before, this was not possible as I could see in front of me the whole time and whatever hit my car was moving. A pothole would not cause front bumper damage and a piece of ice wouldn’t cause severe damage to the undercarriage of the car. On top of that, the bumper was damaged at the corner of the car providing that whatever struck my car was moving into the path of my car. Additionally, TD insurance tried to quote the claim based on used parts from a scrapyard. I will be cancelling me and my wife’s home and auto insurance immediately and we will never do any business whatsoever with TD as a whole. This company has no integrity and will try to screw you out of any money they can.

WOW Pretty Dismal

by Joe on Oct 18, 2016

By the look of all these terrible reviews, TD Insurance is one company to stay away from. All I know is, as a body repair person, TD Ins. is at the bottom of the totem pole for the rates they pay to body shops. They lag behind other insurance providers by about 20 years. I wonder where all the money is going that they are saving! I tried to get a response about this issue but it was to no avail. I guess that's par for the course for TD Insurance.

NO CUSTOMER LOYALTY

by Former Customer on Sep 21, 2016

I've been with TD for over 30 years. I originally was with Liberty Mutual.Insurance for over 10 years. But TD bought them out 20 years ago, so that meant that I went with TD I have NEVER missed a premium payment or been late with one.... NEVER. I had my wife's car, my car and my house with them. Anyway my wife had 2 small accidents in the last 3 years. There were no injuries, no towing involved as these were very minor accidents with superficial damage to vehicle's.
They also at first, increased our premiums for these accidents which we expected, and were willing to still pay.
But TD in their infinite wisdom, then decided to cancel our auto insurance because of these incidents.
How's that for customer loyalty after nearly 35 years??
They have made a ton of money off me over all the years and now because of this they cut me loose.
My house insurance is still with them and is due for renewal in a few months, and I will show them the same level of loyalty that they have shown me, which is NO loyalty. I would cancel it now, but they would hit me with an early cancellation charge.
You are nothing to TD but dollars, Loyalty means NOTHING to them.
If you sign with them expect NONE.

10 year loyal customer for home and auto. 2 incidents (minor speeding, and minor 50% at fault fender bender. Cancelled my auto. You are nothing but a number to them and basic human decency is not a part of their business philosophy. Steer clear of this place.

Shop around don't get them

They will only fix parts of your vehicle they want to and not all the issues that were affected by the accident. Then tell you that area was not caused by the accident and won't fix it. I messaged them about it over a year ago they kept saying they will get back to me then they just say no were not fixing it because it is rusted so it wasn't caused by the accident. It is rusted because it's been a year I'm waiting!
