Extremely rude and don't know how they charge cancellation fees

by Desjardin customer on Dec 15, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

They told me my cancellation fees were gonna be $364 yesterday and today in one day it went up... Now I have to pay 394... When I asked how do they calculate that - no explanation! 3 different agents... One of them - Chinese agent started shouting and swearing and being rude... No sense of customer relation and treatment... Bastard company! Don't deal with them... I hope due to this review they lose a lot of money...

Terrible Insurance Company

by AthenaZ on Jan 14, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

I have never checked reviews about Desjardin. However similar to the majority of other reviews here, I have been with State Farm for over 20 years for both Home and Auto and since Desjardin took over I have been charged a lot more year after year. Most recently I called to get some explanation even though I had 0 claims all my life, their agents along with their people are extremely rude and data in their system is inaccurate. I definitely DO NOT recommend them to anybody. I am searching for another reliable insurance provider for both Home and Auto.

WORST Customer Service

This company needs to hire better representatives because the one that I got to talk to was extremely rude. The company should check on what kind of behaviour their employee has and improves their hiring requirements. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

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.

just plain aweful

Incompetent, unfriendly, bad-customer - service experience. They don't give a hoot about their previous statements, your concerns/needs, or their industry standards. But they charge a hefty premium and are communicating in a way that I would characterize as unprofessional. How can this insurance still be in business?

Rude & Bullying Customer service: I talked to this company for 3 days to get an insurance

by yara on Apr 12, 2022

Very humiliating experience to try to get car insurance while talking on the phone with their staff. They grilled me so hard for working online and having my own company. I have called for needing insurance for my car because I need a car for personal reasons... Grocery, visit friends. The woman on the phone even asked me super personal questions as I was polite to apologize about the background noise for being in the hospital... She asked me why I'm in the hospital and I told her it is personal. She was very rude and even said "well this is a personal policy"... She accused me of even renting out where I live and that the utility bill is not proof enough for her, I almost wanted to just tell her "well do you want to check my Instagram for my life updates to believe I actually moved into my residential address?" This is completely humiliating. Entrepreneurs need cars to see family, to live like human beings, I don't do deliveries, I work ONLINE, I barely leave the house... And she even told me "well just make sure you don't go to the post office". Well, I'm sure every Canadian citizen has the right to go to the post office, it is a right to send mail to family, to return items, have you never shopped online and needed to return something? It is just plainly none of their business. So, I went with another company. I felt completely humiliated that I even had to tell her that I'm sick at the hospital so she can believe me as to why I was at a hospital. I felt like I was being accused for being a liar the whole time... For 3 days I was with different people on the phone, if you don't want to insure me just say so, don't waste my time and don't humiliate me. This is not a good company.

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.

Horrible customer service

Absolutely terrible customer service screwed me over twice and wouldn’t even take responsibility or fix it. Instead of trying to fix it they just cancel your policy. I’ve dealt with nothing but ignorance from them to. Will not ever recommend it.

Rude customer care executives

by Meera on Jul 20, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Very bad experience and the customer care executives are not well trained. I spoke to one guy regarding my insurance payment and he was really rude and yelling at me. This is the way to treat the customers I don’t understand their attitude. They are just making money. I never recommend this place to anyone.

Very bad experience

by Grace on Apr 29, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

I have been with this company for years, I feel extremely regret that I had not left soon. The staff there are so aggressive, in a very bad attitude, they don't care if the clients leave of stay. Whenever you have some questions, they will always push responsibilities to you, said it is your fault. And they even give wrong information.

An agent called Nelly G, her address is 165 Dundas Street West, she is the one who always speaks in a very rude and aggressive way, she doesn't care about the client's feeling, she is the most aggressive and rudest person I have ever seen. I feel bad for her, and feel sad for myself why I have not left them earlier. Fortunately, I find another company and am ready to move.

Insurance rates and payments

Never deal with this company
- Their Billing department is great but the people in the actual agents office are horrible, they're rude and arrogant, They raised my rates without telling me and said I just had to deal with it. The complaints go on and on but in a nut shell there's no communication and then they wonder why you don't know about charges and changes on your account which is fine if you have lots of money just sitting there waiting but if you're on a budget its hard to work with. I deal with Pembridge Insurance as well and they are wonderful, I've never had a problem with them in 6 years but am having to continually deal with problems from Desjardins and be talked down to by my agents staff.
