Worst Insurance Company Ever!!

by Me on Jan 28, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

As a repair facility we have a lot of insurance companies we deal with. Most actually care about their customers. the Personal adjustors have the worst attitude with customers and repair facilities hands down. Even their company appraisers dislike working with them. They us the cheapest parts they can find, nickel and dime repairs, refuse to return phone calls in a timely manner and blame the repair facilities for any delays. No email addresses are given to the repair facilities to correspond back and forth therefore leaving everyone waiting for instruction.

As a repair facility in business for 35 years I would like to say that buying insurance is much like buying anything else, you get what you pay for... In the case of buying insurance written by the Personal you most likely will be disappointed if you find yourself having to use your policy. The repair facility can only do what the insurance company you have allows...

Please never going with this company !! Why ?? Because of I've been more than one year and half with them with no claim also two car insured with this company ,last week my wind-shield is broken with rock but they didn't pay me !!!! this is their rule for full cover option !!! I said to their customer service what's the meaning of full cover option for cars and they said if your wind-shield broken by fall a piece from aircraft we will pay you but not for ROCK !!!!!!!

Don't ever use The Personal

I had a simple comprehensive claim. 8 weeks later, and the local repair shop still has not been paid for repairs made to my car. Every time I manage to speak with someone at The Personal, they have a new excuse as to why he hasn't been paid. They have made mistake after mistake and while very apologetic, they just can't get it right. You can leave message after message and no one will call you back, ever. I am pulling all my insurance from them as soon as possible. The rates are good but not worth it. What if I had a more serious claim? I can't sleep at night worrying about this now. Don't ever take insurance out with this company. Their customer service is 0 out of 5 stars and they are extremely incompetent.

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.

worst claim advisors ever

by al on Dec 1, 2015
1.5 out of 5 stars

had an acccident which involved getting a rent from a rental(covered by policy) company they work with (Discount) 4 days before i was supposed to get my car back i got a call from rental company, they told me that insurance had stopped their payments, so i got charged just over $500 for extra couple of days. it was discovered later that The Personal's claim advisor miscalculated the dates so i ended up getting charged, now they refuse to reimburse me because they think the invoice that i got from rental company is too high, they have their own rates apparently.and now its almost been 4 months since they attempted to contact Discount rental, nobody has replied yet and im still fighting them, worst experience i've ever had.if you ever happen to have any sort of accident that needs to be reported to them you better make sure they do everything right since they're clearly not competent enough to do a bear minimum at least.

HORRIBLE SCAM!

by Pmagan on Oct 26, 2015

I decided to sign up my motorcycle insurance with this company allthough previously I had a bad experience with them for my car insurance where they messed up my drivers license and birth date and charged me one premium and then upon renewal it went up. I thought I'd give them a second chance however this was a MISTAKE!!

Any way getting back to this story I bought my bike in may of 2015 and decided to insure it with the personal being the best rate I could find. after the riding season was done (oct 2015) I sold my bike and wanted to cancel my insurance however they told me there would be no cancellation fee. However when I went to cancel they told me that I have to pay $500. I asked for what they told me its to pay off portion of the premium due to seasonal.

I WILL NEVER BE INSURING WITH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN DO NOT INSURE WITH THEM THEY ARE A SCAM.

DO NOT TRUST THE PERSONAL

High insurance rates - I save 100+$ a month with TD on a 300$ policy

they charge me for a month of insurance after I cancel. A month of insurance I've already paid another insurer.

Do not give them your banking information, they will take the $$ out before the date they say

All insurance companies are legalized scam artists. But this one is by far the the worst I have ever experienced. If your adjuster is Ann S. don't even bother leaving her a message because she will never get back to you.

Not happy with car insurance reviews for your insurance company? Get a quote across up to 20 Canadian car insurers and make sure that you do not pay too much.

Not impressed

Worst experience ever with having a claim, my adjuster spent more time out of the office, never returned phone calls, didn’t follow up! And because of this I have a storage balance of over 5000, did the BBB and looking into a lawsuit! Asked for supervisor/ manager to call me back and nothing! But you bet they take my payments out each and every month! The Personal is a scam! And I have started to look for new insurance!
