Takes so long, made the problem worse

by Hayley on Dec 2, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

So extremely disappointed. My insurance is 300$ a month with you guys, I got into an accident in the middle of OCTOBER, and was told 3 days MAX for an adjuster to call me I am still waiting, I've called TWICE since there asking what the hold up is to be told so sorry someone will contact you in 48 hours and STILL NOBODY HAS CONTACTED ME! Now all the paint chips from the accident are rusted to hell. The guy that ran the red light and hit me in the intersection??? You got it his vehicle is fixed and as good as new but here I am paying up my asshole for insurance for what??? Why have insurance if nothing is going to be done? So extremely disappointed and discouraged...

Pire expérience à vie avec un assureur

by stephanie turner on Aug 26, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Pire assurances à vie! J'ai été inondée, il a fallu 2 mois et demie avant que le dossier avance. Ils vont s'obstiner au maximum pour que le remboursement soit le moins gros possible et vous convaincre les même si les vis de votre BBQ neuf dans sa boite sont rouillées, ils auraient rouillés pareil dehors. En plus, ils vont vous envoyer un portail dans lequel vous devez aller indiquer ligne par ligne les biens à remplacer, insérer une photo (pas évident quand ils ont ramassé tous les biens avant de vous demander de remplir ce portail) pour chaque bien et insérer une facture pour chaque article, ce qui représente tout un travail administratif intense et long si vous voulez être remboursé (si vous n'avez pas de factures, ils vont juger du montant à rembourser). De plus, il ne faut pas se tromper et faire soumettre avant d'avoir terminé la liste dans le portail, car ils ne réouvrent pas le portail et considère que ce que vous aurez soumis est ce qu'ils vont rembourser (donc : erreur humaine non permise sur un processus qui vous prendra des heures). je me demande ce qu'ils font avec les gens qui n'ont pas d'internet?

Unnecessary Cancellation

by SonnetSucks on Oct 14, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

No grace period for cancellation for ‘’non-payment” during COVID-19.
My credit card was replaced and before I had a chance to update the profile with the new info my policy had been cancelled.
Now I have been blacklisted and can’t receive insurance on my home from other Insurers.

Are you a condo unit tenant? Remember that neither your condominium corporations' policy nor your landlord's insurance policy protects you as a tenant (3rd part liability, contents, etc.). If you do not have your own insurance policy, get your condominium insurance quote today.

Avoid Sonnet

I have been with them for more than 2 years. No claim, always paid on time. Then out of nowhere and not backed by data they decide to increase their pricing by 110% and 75% respectively for two home policies I had with them. Support proposes me to remove the earthquake insurance which would reduce 100$ / year which would still make for a 95% increase. Support could not find data to support the drastic increase other than saying "we recently adjusted or pricing chart". I can't believe it's legal to increase pricing from 46.16/mo to 97.33/mo without valid reasons for a client without claims. This is a 110% increase!!! Avoid this company at all costs. Not worth the time. You can find better pricing with any other company.

Cheap comes out expensive

by frizbee on Sep 28, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

Changed carriers after 25 years because Sonnet was cheaper. That lasted for 2 years then year 3 - 70% increase! From $800 to $1400 and no claims, ever. Really, annoying was no notice it was going up that much. Just quietly charged to the card and it was a few days till I noticed and cancelled so they ripped me off for $20. Sonnet claims price went up because of claims, your neighborhood and some other things but went back to the previous carrier with only a marginal increase over last year's Sonnet price. They may start off cheap but no good for the long term and not worth the hassle of switching from a long term relationship with a previous carrier...

Horrible company

by Blindsided on Jun 9, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

I was sent to collections with no notification that I even owed them any money. I’ve been in the house with my newborn baby since COVID-19 has started and I haven’t missed a call text or message during all that time and today received a phone call from a collection agency stating that I owe them money from March. It is now June. I am confused and wondering why I paid double for the first month of it doesn’t cover my last.... and why was I not called, emailed or mailed any notification? Not good service at all!!!

Premiums tripled

I took out a home insurance policy in July of 2019. I was very pleased with my quote. It was the best quote from the 3 places I searched for. I just received my renewal. It went from 74.37 a month to 222.33!!! That's triple the amount. They give you good rates the first year but watch out. I am not renewing. It's unbelievable and I am not sure how they can get away with this. The is criminal in my opinion

Dont trust them, ever...

by Robert on Aug 28, 2019

I don't know if they easily pay in case of sinistre, but they send very easily recall to pay even when it's already paid. So, some people can pay twice and maybe never see the mistake. Another trick to increase ther business. Quand une compagnie d'assurance qui a encaissé la prime, réclame une autre fois le paiement, ça sent l'arnaque. Ils doivent faire ça à tout le monde et à la fin, il y a ceux qui ne s'aparçoivent pas qu'ils ont payé 2 fois et qui se font avoir. La politique de l'erreur, on connait. En plus, toujours dans le même sens. Bizarre, non ?

Terrible - avoid avoid avoid

by LC on Aug 23, 2019

Great rate the first year, then a 40% increase, then another 40% increase. One claim in this time, though they said that per their policy, the first claim did not affect my premium. That said, they can't tell me what has caused this increase other than "general changes in insurance liability globally." Went with them because of their online nature and yet half the time their website is borked or I can't log-in and on email, they tell me to call. Took three customer service agents to fix a very simple problem over email because the first two didn't bother reading my inquiry. The claim experience was with an agent that couldn't answer the question, kept calling me while I was travelling and I had said to email. Eventually bumped up the chain to a higher up who was helpful, but you have to go through layers of idiocy to get there. Do NOT recommend AT ALL. Avoid!

Sonnet will increase you +80%

by Ex-Sonnet on May 28, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I was with a broker for over 10 years. I decided to move 4 policies to Sonnet in 2018. No claims were made since then. I reduced my risk, by replacing 4 hot water thank in 2018 and 2019. A few days ago, I received a notice that my policy had been renewed, but the rate is was quoted in the email. I went to check on web site and saw a + 80% rate increase... hidden on their web site, hoping I would not notice it. Guess what's next... Bye bye Sonnet... Don't been fooled by the 1st year rates, they will kill you the following years.
