Insurance canceled for not my fault

Today, i called to TD insurance to change my car insurance policy and the guy put me on hold from 1 hour and right now I’m writing this review while I’m waiting to connect with the customer care support. Thank you for realizing me that i choose wrong insurance company policy.
I was rear-ended at a red light (no fault) and TD INSURANCE HAS GHOSTED ME. I now have NO CAR, NO RENTAL, NO MONEY, and I am injured. It has been a MONTH since the accident.
After the accident, TD provided a rental car. Policy says $5000 in rental car expenses. They then took 3 weeks to get back to me to tell me that the car was written off. I was offered an insultingly low amount to replace my vehicle (which was completely paid off). I will have to pay out $5000 from my hard-earned savings to get anything close to reliable. I am a paramedic and need reliable transport to/from work in the worst weather conditions with highway driving.
After offering me the insulting claim amount, they gave me 2 DAYS to shop for, buy, insure, and license a new vehicle. They then TOOK MY RENTAL (after less than half of the $5000 amount had been used) and GHOSTED ME. COMPLETELY GHOSTED.
I have gotten NO MONEY AT ALL from TD, and have not been able to get a hold of the adjuster or a manager in over 7 business days (despite multiple calls and emails). I think they have blocked my phone number, or are screening my calls.
I have placed a deposit on a new vehicle, however cannot go pick it up until I pay for it. I cannot pay for it until I receive the claim amount from TD. I am stuck with NO CAR, NO RENTAL, NO MONEY, and NO CONTACT from TD.
Oh and also - when I called the mechanic to go pick up the license plate from the car (the DAY AFTER they told me it would be written off), I was told that TD had already had my car towed to the junkyard A WEEK AGO WITH THE LICENSE PLATE ON IT. So they towed my car to the junkyard a week before they even told me it would be written off, and now I have to pay for and use my time to go get a new license plate.
IS THIS EVEN LEGAL?
HEY TD - CALL ME BACK!!!!!!!!!!
My entire family has been insured with TD (4 cars and 2 houses) for 30 years. Never a claim. And this is how we are treated.
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.
Most expensive car insurance I've ever had. Premium WILL go up every year, even if you haven't made a claim.
They took a payment out of my account 4 days AFTER it was due, so the money was no longer in my account. So got charged an NSF fee from them and the bank.
They sent me a letter dated Jan. 25, saying they would try again to take the payment on January 31. There is absolutely no way I would have gotten that letter on time. So the payment bounced again, got charged NSF again.
So that's $166 just in NSF charges when THEY could not take the payment when they were supposed to.
This has been my first and only collision in my lifetime and it has been an absolute nightmare nearly the entire way through. I started the claim January 16, 2024. And the first week I was unable to get either a tow or rental car leaving me taking the bus that nearly took me 3 hours to get home on -35 days. Then finally got this claim settled out and am supposed to be paid out as this accident was at absolutely no fault of my own. Then I’m still waiting on money and had to turn in my rental on Saturday while the person I care for was in the hospital and has further crucial health appointments I need to take him too and have no money to get a new vehicle, no rental, no money for cab, unable to take the bus due to his circumstances! For an incident that I had no control of at all and the other individual on the side of this case has absolutely no effect to her, none. Just consequences on the side of the innocent party …. Other person only has a dent on company vehicle. Has a whole other personal vehicle no effect to her livelihood whatsoever. Still waiting on payout to be able to so much as search for a new vehicle.
I was in an accident, found to be the other drivers fault. Four days latter the adjuster showed up to view my Vehicle. at this point i thought things are moving smoothly then a month passed and then another... after waiting on hold for hours leaving multiple messages and e mails i received an offer (low) I had to find local adds to prove replacement value. after an additional month after countless calls, waiting on hold and e mails i finally received a reasonable offer. I inquired about buy back and they stated 35% of pay out... I asked for a copy of their policy stating this and wouldn't you know they don't have it on a document. Dealing with your insurance company should not be like dealing with a greasy used car salesmen. After all is said and done i feel like i need to take a shower and find another insurance company fast . My advise is RUN FAST don't let the big bank name fool you. Terrible!
DO NOT get auto insurance with this company! I had one month left to pay and they canceled on me with NO notice. They said I didn't pay, when in fact the money came out of my account and I sent them proof. They didnt care. They STOLE money from me then canceled. Now NO company will sell me auto insurance because of these scammers. They may be cheaper than most places, but please don't let this happen to you, go with another provider. Because of them my insurance history is absoubtly toast.
You are their valuable customer unless you have a claim. Then, they become your enemy.
I had two not-at-fault accidents (got full coverage), and they made my life crazy messy. Not a good scope for rental! This means there is no rental coverage in your critical moments! You have to find a mechanic shop yourself! Then, when you find one, they change their mind to not repairable. Immediately, you have to return the rental and wait a century for them to give you a cheap valuation. They send you an email at 3:59 PM, And when you reply, they will answer you NEXT WEEK with new requests! Please do not waste your tile, life, and money there!
They don't have office in any other province other than Ontario... They claim to have one in Ontario which could be false as well. Everything is easy till you have a claim. Once the claim is filed, the assessor is hard to reach. Your calls would only end up in their voicemail. I had a claim and tried reaching out my assessor almost 50 times. You can't meet them in person. The wait times on these calls are usually over 90 min. I am under 25... so they charged high rates for insurance which is understandable since that is the process by all the other insurance companies. I wish I was in BC or Sask where insurance is given by government organizations.. TD auto insurance is a big scam.
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.
Paid them for almost 12 years and 1 of my payments bounced because money got transferred to my savings automatically, they basically told me to get lost and now I need to find new insurance, they didn’t even let me argue my case to stay on monthly payments so, yea thats how much you’ll matter to them.
In all that time, I also had one small claim from a fender bender and my insurance stayed expensive the whole time.
Your just a number attached to a payment.

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.
