Customer service poor: long waits on the phone, promises for calls back that never came, emailed questions that went unanswered.
We were paying an extra $500 because the insured property we were renovating for rental was not occupied, which was fine, however without warning we received a termination letter in the mail because we had exceeded the unoccupied period allowed (despite there being workers at the house 6 days/week) that we had never been informed about.
We got a tenant in and reinstated the insurance, then 2 months later received another letter of termination saying that we were too close to a commercial business, presumably the gas station across the side alley, again something that we were never asked about or informed of, nor can we find in the documentation.
We have since moved our insurance to another company for this property despite it costing a little more, and will do the same with our primary residence shortly.
Called today to get a quote for tenant insurance and was told they couldn't help me because I lived above a business then he said "yeah you can't live 49 metres within a business!" Bologna then he said "why not stay with your current insurance company and get a different person to handle your insurance!" In which I said "this isn't fair and your company will never get my business ever!"
Canadians pay, on average, approximately $20 per month in tenants insurance. Do you rent or plan to rent a property and want to reduce insurance costs? We will help you get a cheap tenant insurance quote today.
this insurance company was charging me for my son's insurance for a full year after I called to cancel it. My husband takes care of the bills but I did not notice they were still taking out the payment for my son until my husband complained about how high the bill was. When I tired to get a refund I was refused it because they said I did not call to cancel it. I gave them dates, times, phone number I called from, everything, and yet they said I did not call them. I even offered the facebook stream with my son where I told him that I cancelled it, they were not interested. I was basically called a liar. I have been with this company for 40 years and have had a few complaints about the company during that time, but this was the last straw for me. I am out more than 1000 dollars and I was basically told to collect the money from my son, they have no record of me calling. Trust me, I remember calling and being so angry when I cancelled his insurance in the first place, that I would not make this up.
