Horrible customer service

I am a TD client since 2013, recently my honda van got damaged in a recent hail in Calgary, Alberta. I filed the claim the next day, the advisor informed my car was a total loss, he was not too good with communication for a couple of weeks and then... he disappeared, for 2 months! I was calling their different numbers, sent hundreds of emails but got nothing for almost 60 days! I was only provided rental for only 1 week in this 2.5 months period of "no car". Eventually, someone got back to me to help and offered me $8500 for the van I bought in 2017 for $22,000! This vehicle was financed and I still have to pay $11,000 to the financial institution for this van. They aren't even giving any chance of negotiation. This is brutal and broke all my confidence in TD insurance... A big company with pathetic customer service.
TD used to be excellent - low prices, responsive call center. Now I'm not able to contact them by phone, email, or online secure messaging which claims 2 business days maximum. I had an auto claim - two weeks for my adjuster to return my call after I pretended to have a new claim and had to escalate to their manager. I told them to not renew my home policy, yet once again I have to sit on hold for hours to avoid getting charged for something I don't want. Very disappointing, as another user mentioned, their service declined amazingly quickly.
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.
Submitted home/auto claims due to the recent June 13th hail storm. TD INSURANCE is a complete utter disappointment. I would suggest avoiding at all costs. I regret not going with other insurance companies able to handle/process actual claims and provide customer service support when needed most. After nearly 2 months I have yet to finalize any of my 3 open claims. The adjuster assigned to my auto claims - complete fail. Good luck trying to contact via phone/email.
You will be waiting FOREVER. I have a policy with TDI for years both auto and home. Started calling them to change my policy and add my husband & his vehicle to my policy yesterday. Was on hold for 90 mins and no answer. Called again and waited on the line for 80 minutes, no answer. Tried live chat and waited for 45 mins, it showed I was no. 4 in a queue then their business hours ended. Left a secure message via email, I am currently waiting for a reply. Meanwhile, I also logged in and tried to edit my policy online 6 times, punched in all my info and the final page says “internal server error”, called the technical support line and no answer - waited about 15 mins. This morning, I called early in the morning just after 8 am and waited for 130 mins, no answer - I finally gave in. I was lucky enough another insurer me never and managed to secure an online quote with them for a much cheaper rate for the husband. Byebye TD, you will need to find a way to get service to your customers or you will lose customers like crazy! Cannot imagine someone in need of help for a claim... If you are with TD, switch as soon as you can and don’t waste 6 hours plus on them like me, if you are thinking about getting their products, move along as you will never get through the line.
Over two hours on hold with them prior to COVID. Since then I had to call them twice to cancel my insurance with them I've spent 7 hours on hold with them in the last week just trying to get my last month's payment out of them. By the way, even if the customer service representative won't cancel your insurance for you when you call they won't give you your last month/deposit back they charge you the exact amount of money to cancel. When you buy your insurance with them they say you going to pay the first and last month's insurance payment but that's not the truth. They actually charged me $260 upfront and my insurance was quoted at $117. I was supposed to get half of that back but they just do what insurance companies are good at the lie and lie some more to take your money and when you have a claim they will do everything in there power not to pay you. Also, they didn't even call me to spike my insurance premium they just took money out of my bank account without my permission!!! Also, they will not communicate with you via email so you have to spend a ton of time on the phone just waiting to talk to a person that really only seems to be interested in taking your money! Because of my experience with this company, I will never even consider using TD bank for anything not even for a mortgage. They have lost a customer for life. There are cheaper better rates out there too. With better companies. I save $40 a month by switching with the same coverage!
Avoid this company, customer service is horrible! I don't think one-star describes the bad service they have. The replay by email in days! And usually with general responses and not adequate with the question or complaint of the customer. And the worst is the same if you call them, no people training with the products, so my advice AVOID THEM! And all these issues that I had it is only to ensure one car I cannot imagine if it is a crash! AVOID THEM!
On the 17th of January 2020, I was involved in an accident. I was not at fault. And the at-fault party also uses TD Insurance. This meant I got the opportunity of experiencing TD Insurance from vehicle replacement to accident benefits to a body injury settlement. The staff were extremely excellent and fair. I got excellent amount for my car and I was able to buy a far better car with the funds given to me by TD Insurance. I enjoyed massages (physiotherapy) and psychotherapy sessions based on accident benefits. All the staff explained the entire process to me. The lady (adjuster) for the accident benefit was so kind and helped me through the shock of the Coronavirus period. I got constant checkup calls from the adjuster for the settlement. I got frequent letters from TD Insurance informing of changes in the process. This staff work across Canada and yet it feels as though live beside each other. You can feel the oneness of purpose and unity and service excellence from all of them. I am grateful and I am happy to be insured by TD Insurance. I was so encouraged that I improved my insurance policy to two insurance. The settlement was great. I highly strongly recommend TD Insurance. They are stable safe and secure. You are simply the BEST.

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!
