Horrible nightmare TD Insurance
by Upset customer from Montreal on Jun 30, 2021
1 out of 5 stars
For 3 days I've been trying to reach TD Insurance. I've waited on hold for 14 hours total. I even set alarms to call right when they say the line opens (both today and yesterday). All I want is to update my contact info so that I can access my policy. When I try to do this online, it says I need to call in, but nobody answers the phone. They don't care at all about their policyholders. This is a nightmare, and this is horrible customer service. There was no delay in taking my payment however - that was processed immediately!
Their customer service has gone from good to awe-full. Wait times are beyond acceptable just to finally get through to incompetence. They tell you to go online to manage your account. The online portal is useless and the online chat is not available. Talking with one of the representatives was poor.
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.
If I could give a lower rating I would... but I can't. Spent over an hour on hold to only be disconnected. Tried again the next day and the same thing happened. So I went a different route by sending a message on their website, after writing my long message it didn't let me send it as the "function was unavailable"... So I turned to Twitter to get information and get my question answered only to be told to try phoning them again. Absolutely useless!
I wanted to add my wife to my auto policy and the website said I have to call customer service. The 1st time I waited for 40 mins, nobody answer! 2nd time I was on hold for 80minutes, still no answer. Then I tried to call the number under "get a quote", no wait, issue resolved... They don't take care of the existing customer at all!
I had to make some changes to my policy and was on hold for 1 Hour and 41 Minutes. I thought that was bad but they reached a new low today. I bought a new car and had to get insurance so I phoned for the immediate service and have now as I am typing this been on hold for 2 HOURS 48 MINUTES AND STILL NO HELP!!! I went online and tried doing the changes but it takes them two days. I am cancelling my insurance with them because of this inferior service. I have no complaint with their prices it is the horrible service.
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.
Unavailable online. On hold forever! Access to site disconnected for no reason!
After my credit card was stolen and the number changed, I tried to update it online on multiple occasions, and it wasn't being updated for pre-authorized payments. I contacted TD insurance multiple times to resolve the issue so that I won't accidentally miss payments. Once I thought the issue was resolved, turned out my payment information wasn't updated and I missed two payments and my insurance was canceled for non-payment. I haven't received any notice of cancelation to my email or phone, nor I was notified about missed payments. Contacting TD insurance produced no results and no I am facing the consequences.
Normally I expect an insurance provider to be bad after signing up. They'll do anything for your service, and then turn a blind eye. This was a blind eye before they even had my service.
Their online system wasn't working. It kept saying they couldn't verify my identity after they were supposed to send my phone a code (which it didn't). So I talked to CS, and they confirmed there is no reason I shouldn't be able to buy online, and gave me instructions to clear my cache, restart my browser, and retrieve my quote.
Only their own instructions don't work. There is no button to retrieve quote.
So I rebuilt the entire quote from scratch, on a new browser with everything cleared and it still didn't work, and he confirmed that while he could help me, I would lose the 5% online discount (which would work out to be like ~$85)... So I have to pay an extra $85 because your system, and their own instructions don't work (tried on 3 different browsers, and mobile)???
And again, if this is how bad their system and customer service is before I've even paid them, I can't even begin to imagine how bad it is after they have my money...
I've been a long time customer of Meloche Monnex... Well, now they call it TD Direct Insurance. It has really gone downhill over the years. You used to be able to phone in and reach an agent pretty quickly. But sadly in the last 2 to 3 years, things have become horrible. The website to do so-called self-service is a joke (free-form text you type in... and wait for an answer?). And I've waited 45 minutes on hold, I've waited 25 minutes, I've waited an hour and given up. How can one plan to make a change if you don't know if you need 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 50 minutes, 1 hour on hold, then a further 30 to 40 minutes talking to the agent? Just sad how low on staff they are now. Planning a change.

The wait time for any phone service is disastrous at the epic level.
To make matters worse, the agent you speak with gives you a quote and when you receive the documents, you find a totally different value.
Today, I tried to pay an outstanding balance through my TD Insurance account. The system locked me out for some unknown reason.
I called the number that was posted on the screen for me to call.
I am waiting for the fourth agent now to connect with me because all the previous three agents that I was connected to, each time one agent transfers me to another because he is certified to provide me access to my account to pay my outstanding bill.
Would you believe that?
Stay away from this company.
I can't wait for the policy to finish after which time I will definitely not go back with them!
