Don’t do it

by Kelly G. on Nov 26, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I wish I could give them no stars. They are the biggest scam artists and will do anything to take money from people. They will ask for payment without any documents (they do verbal agreements without you seeing any documents...I know, super professional and legit company) and say “Your documents will be sent in the mail. How will you be paying right now?” type of company. I actually thought I was being scammed, that’s how they do business. When I accused them of scamming me, they eventually sent me the proper documents via email (they should’ve done that in the first place like normal companies). I then was going to pay in full when they properly handled things. They said they need to go over the phone conversations and would review my file and let me know...leaving me to wait with my house insurance near the end date. They are now taking me to collections and they are wanting me to pay for them being incompetent. I was forced to go with my other insurance company because I would’ve been without insurance and they were “reviewing” my file. It infuriates me to think of how many people this has happened to. My mortgage company keeps getting cancellation of house insurance letters from them because I am fighting this. Go somewhere else, they have treated me like absolute garbage this whole time and I’m appalled at the way things are being handled. Go with another company! I’m already starting to hear from other people about their experiences. Look at the reviews. This company will be going under for sure. Just want to save people from getting ripped off if I can.

I have had a horrific experience with The Personal. I had a claim and my adjuster was very poor in explaining the process, but mostly guiding the process. I've never experienced such poor customer service. I went nearly a year without any representative providing me with a thorough update on my claim, despite phone calls and emails contacting them. My adjuster was unable to truly assist me. For example, my building had asbestos and she recommended that I take my contaminated belongings to the dump myself. In another instance, she kept calling me at the end of her workday, despite her being in the Atlantic time zone and me being in Mountain time zone so we were never able to connect as I was working and unable to consistently check my phone throughout the day. I asked her to call me in the morning instead so that we could connect better and more efficiently throughout the day. She made me feel guilty for her staying 15 minutes late due to me having a meeting at the end of my work date and being unavailable to take the call sooner despite me asking her to call earlier in the day. After the 13 months that I have been with them, I am cancelling my policy with them. In doing such, they are charging me a cancellation fee as well as increasing my last few months of payments. I do not recommend The Personal to anyone and I will be openly sharing my experience so that others do not have the same experience as me.

House fire claim so far.

by Johny on Sep 5, 2019

Do not buy insurance with Intact!!! My townhouse was recently destroyed by water and fire due to a unit that was attached to mine started the fire. Most of my belongings were intact but damaged by water from firefighters protecting the spread of this fire. The adjuster I got came out and was very sweet and kind at first when we met her the same day of the fire. The things changed quickly when we met her again to do a walkthrough. Made me buy hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, steel toe boots and face mask with my own money! My wife is pregnant so we had her sister come along. So I had to supply all that stuff myself. Then she accused me of not trusting her because all I wanted to do was walk through my house and take pictures of all my belonging so I can have a photographic memory of what I lose, so I can claim it. That seems like a normal thing any homeowner would do when something like this happens. She just cared about me signing papers to hand over my house to them to destroy and raid. Anyways there a lot more things and that's all I have been through so far. I am still in the process of recovering my things but I'm terrified of what will happen next because these people working on my claim give zero remorse and let you know right away through the things they say, body language and how they act that they just hear to save the company money and that they don't see you as innocent victim that you. Moving my insurance for sure after I'm done dealing with them! Feels like a nightmare!!! Being a victim of a house fire and also knowing that your insurance doesn't have your back while this process still ongoing!

Beware of Intact/Spriggs

by Sick dog on Aug 21, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

Spriggs broker did not inform the customer that they couldn't get home insurance with Wawanesa and attempted to sneak in renewal with Intact Instead. Now Spriggs and Intact say Customer is on the hook for a cancellation fee - for a policy that was never authorized by the customer in the first place.

Not impressed

My experience with Intact was less than 1 star can represent. I would rather drive with no insurance than deal with these money-hungry highway thieves. Now that I've moved on to a better company I can fully recognize how bad Intact is. Have a nice day.

Just Awful

Wow, these guys are snakes. Even charged a fee when I decided I did not want to renew my insurance with them. I'd rate less than one star if it were possible.

Very poor insurance company

by Unhappy on Jun 23, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

They totally took advantage of an immigrant family with poor language skills. They would not cover a claim even though the roofer sent a report with pictures. Our broker gave very poor customer service and I rate her terrible. I will be cancelling my own policy with Intact insurance because of this experience. They may cost less for insurance but if they don't pay valid claims it's like you don't have insurance at all.

one way relationship

by Raptor on Jun 13, 2019

Customers pay premiums for years, one time for a small claim, the insurance company does everything in their power to run you down... Makes you call them, again and again, they make you tired. Intact is the worst company of all. Their rates were a bit lower, but if you have claim you will not recover anything. Shame on them, and shame on me for using them in the past. NEVER AGAIN!

I was looking for home insurance and I provided all information to the Intact agent. He said he will get back to me soon. After one week and two follow-ups still no update. If they are not able to provide the quote on time, how they will process your claim in emergency. I don't want to do any business with Intact

Quick to cancel policy

by VicBodnar on May 3, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

While I would have rated Intact higher on customer service for the people who I actually worked with while processing a claim, their follow-up dismissal of me as a client after only one processed claim and refusal to work with me to maintain my status as their client is ridiculous. As new homeowners, we called our insurance provider, at the time Intact, to ask for advice on our policy after finding water in the basement. After speaking with the Intact personnel, and discovering that the claim was not eligible we did not process one. Due to their system of automatically opening a claim we officially "withdrew the claim" within 1 hour of opening it. We then fixed the water issue out of pocket to avoid future issues. One year later we received a letter that Intact was cancelling our policy for multiple claims within a three year period, even though they acknowledged that we only actually processed one claim. When we tried to work with the company by informing them that we had fixed the issue out of pocket within one month of getting their dismissal letter (and hadn't had time yet to inform them of the upgrade) they still refused to keep us as clients. Due to the dismissal of an insurance company against us, we are now paying for alternative insurance at a higher rate as a penalty. Intact never reached out to us and wouldn't work with us on how to maintain our client status and although we paid much more for their service than we ever received in the one claim, they removed us with very little notice. Would never recommend Intact insurance.
