Horrible company

by Brynn on Apr 1, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

The horrible company cancelled my insurance TWICE and they still keep taking payments from me. I called 3 weeks before my payment date and cancelled, the lady I spoke with told me it was taken care of. Fast forward to the 25th where my payment is originally due, I checked my account and they still took payment. I emailed them and asked what happened and she told me they don’t cancel policies over the phone and of course, I’m angry: the lady who originally cancelled my insurance lied to me. So I cancelled through email and asked for reimbursement on that last payment due to the fact I lost my job from COVID 19 and needed that money for priorities. I explained that and got a refund only to find that the retook the money out of my account only 5 days later. Not very happy with this place and I will never go back or ever recommend to anyone.

Dishonest don't go there.

I purchased insurance last year from this company. In April I was robbed and my credit cards with everything else in my purse were stolen. While I awaited replacements for my stolen cards, the time passed for payment and the payment was missed. I had trouble getting to everyone in time. However, when my new cards came I called them and gave them the new number. They got the payment two weeks late. In May, they closed my policy the day before the payment was due, instead of withdrawing the funds as per the automatic withdrawal agreement I had signed with them. They didn't let me know they cancelled my policy until I called them in the fall. They told me my insurance had been cancelled. I was at the hospital in another city with my disabled son. But we got it going again and again, in September they cancelled the policy the day it was due instead of withdrawing the funds from my credit card again. Each time the amount was increased. Now I know of at least two other people they have done this to also. Now my record is stained as a non-payer. But their negligence in not auto withdrawing the funds isn't me not paying. And they do not tell you they have cancelled the policy. I called in January and found this out. Also, I have a GIC with them, that they have no trouble withdrawing money every month. And the receptionist refuses to let me speak to the broker. I called to make changes, and now I just want my money out and have no way to access it. Also, be careful with your personal info. They contacted my estranged husband for some information.

My claim Experience

I get in an accident, my fault. Very small for an accident maybe $10.000 total and most importantly no one was hurt, also no tickets we went to the collision centre. We both fill out all our information shake hands and leave. I was with another insurance company for 10 years before I always have insurance and I switched to the Co-operators a year ago to join my laws policy(cheaper) I call the Co-operators claims who say my account is frozen and to call my branch and they can unfreeze it. I call my branch and explain she says - "oh let me see why it's frozen", then says - "oh your account was suspended 2 months ago. Your girlfriend started a new account with the new car she bought with a new policy." Which made the old policy expired because she was the primary account name which puts me out of insurance. I give my ex as much as I possibly can for our daughter which car insurance has always been a part of. The Co-operators won't do anything they sent a registered letter which is all they say. No phone call or email. Trust me my ex could got me in touch with them if she wanted.

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.

Terrible COOPERATORS

I had auto insurance for two of my cars with this company, and the individual I dealt in the past was a really nice lady. Who offered me the best customer service. But my file was transferred over to someone other individuals in this company, and I have spoken to them about insurance for my new car. Which they agreed and quoted me on and I also provided them with the date of receiving the vehicle. On the date of signing my vehicle, they called me an hour before that and told me my insurance was cancelled and I have 15 days. And gave me all invalid and unrelated reasons. My record was clear, no tickets, no claims, no accidents. I have been with them for so long. Had a good record and relationship, yet they provided me with the worst customer service. Especially the individual whom I spoke to. Disgusting manners. Never AGAIN with this insurance company. They don't know what professionalism is and sounds like they don't even like working there.

Don't waste your time or money

by Molly8483 on Oct 26, 2018

I was a customer of Co-Operators for 5+ years for auto, and 2+ years for home insurance. Each year, my insurance rates would increase (quite substantially) even though I was a claims-free driver/homeowner. When I finally decided to cancel my insurance policies, they shut down my online account immediately - even though I had 30+ days left on my policy that I was STILL paying for - which made it a huge hassle to obtain my policy info to send along to my new insurance agency. Don't waste your time or money. They don't care about their customers at all.

Got dropped

by boki on May 14, 2018

Apparently, if you get two at fault accidents within 5 years, you get dropped. First one was my fault, second one I'm still to blame but was related to an abnormally high and narrow curb driveway which dented the bottom of the car while turning. I debated whether or not to even bring it up to them, but clearly regretting having said anything because they can't afford the odd chance of someone having two accidents within 5 years even if one of the two is small.

Bad driving record? Your insurance rates can be double the standard insurance rate. Let us help you get the better auto insurance rate without breaking the bank.

Not good service.

As a person who had never been insured under my own name, I went with Cooperators as it was the cheapest option. However, after a year, I realized that I was being completely ripped off. I had payment issues twice and was charged $100.00, even though it wasn't my fault that they did not process the change in my banking info. Also, I have never been able to get a hold of anyone at the KING office. Every time I called, I have been transferred to the head office. I am pretty sure all they do is go out to lunch, or not come in. Lastly, I finally got around to cancel the insurance, yet I check my account and see they have decided to pull out money and continue my insurance. These people are incompetent, and to get one issue resolved you must call at least 5 times, over a two-week span to resolve anything! PS: They offer a 5% discount for using a driving device. My new company offers up to 25%, and they gave me a cheaper quote than I got to renew my insurance after being with Cooperators for a year.

I've been with this company for 5 years just in the last 8 months they have messed my whole account up they have been taking amounts out that weren't supposed to be taking out they have messed my stuff up so bad that they cancelled my insurance for their mistake and then RI put me back on charging me an extra $40 a month and then once it's all straightened out on their side they decide to start taking money out of my daughter's account and then putting it back in and taking it back out and putting it back in and then start charging me extra from the amount that supposed to be taken out encouraging me NSF fees on their side plus NSF fees on my bank side when the amount was supposed to be 188 they would go into my account and take out 268 some days it was 386 how do you get 188 from those amounts wish you guys could just get yourself together and take the proper amounts out and stop taking money out of my daughter's account this is ridiculous I shouldn't have to go through this my insurance was $146 and because yous guys messed it up you now charge me 186 for your mistake plus all . All the NSF charges I've had to pay because of your mistakes I should be reimbursed for all of this including my daughter as well this is the worst company I have ever dealt with in my entire life

Penalized for cancelling

by Disappointed on Jan 11, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

I had been with Co-operators since I was 18, twenty years later I move and ask to cancel my home insurance, it was agreed but apparently not noted in the call centre. I called back a couple months later when I realized payments had not stopped. Not only was I not offered my payments back I was penalized for cancelling the insurance after the said date. I argued that I had already cancelled and customer service did not oblige. I am normally very patient and loyal but I will be switching insurance companies. This does not please me by any means.

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.

Horrible experiences

by Beckers on Jun 7, 2014

My first couple years with this company were ok but this past year has been awful! Added home insurance which I was told would give 20% discount to auto, instead my auto jumped $13/mo plus my home insurance. Called to get this fixed and was told the guy who was supposed to enter the info was gone and didn't do it! Glad I noticed something was wrong! Then some punk lights our car on fire in front of our house while we are asleep inside. I call the next day and a lady at Cooperators sets us up in a rental and everything til we are assigned an adjuster Monday. Adjuster is a very unhappy sounding person who you can tell doesn't want to deal with this. I give her the police report number and everything. She calls back and leaves a message that they are not confirming coverage because the police are investigating because it is suspicious (well duh it should be cars don't randomly catch fire at 4am!)! Then says we informed Enterprise you are responsible to pay the rental and go have the car towed to you or salvage and your responsible for towing and storage fees. Oh but whenever the investigation is done if you have the receipts we will pay for some of it! Can not wait for this to be over so I can switch companies!!!
