BNS/Unifund (Johnson's)

Coverage keeps changing but rates keep going up. Very poor customer service. Tried for 3 days to get an answer to the question. Never did get through to a human being. Finally switched to another company.

Useless company

Have been with Johnson for my auto insurance for many years and purchased a home and was told no because we are using "a non preferred standard bank" ONLY insurance company that cares who the mortgage company is with!? I can surely say that I will be cancelling my auto insurance as well, what a disgrace of a company!

THEY ARE A JOKE!!!

So 2 claims and they cancel your Insurance? 1. My child broke a window. 2. I was robbed and the house was contaminated with сarfentanyl as the crooks were cooking drugs in my house. I even chased them down in my car as we walked in on them and 1 plead guilty and served time in jail for his crimes and the cancel insurance? Typical insurance company soon as you need them they throw you away like trash!

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 This Rip-Off !!!

Paid into this company for well over a decade. Got two small claims about 4 years apart and provable with police arrests. Next thing I know my whole policy is altered against my wishes that greatly reduced my coverage and jacked my premiums. They still have made many thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars off of me for several policies, but that isn't enough for them. You will never get them to pay a penny towards a claim, once they are finished screwing you over with arbitrary policy changes that have nothing to do with any change in your risk to them.

Great until...

Johnson Insurance was great until I had to make a claim. You would think that after paying ~$250/month for the last 7 years (which by my math is over $20,000 in premiums) the company wouldn't be put out by a couple of stolen-bicycle claims (I live in Toronto, and anyone who lives here knows how common bike theft is) that amounted to $1,500, but nope, the company sent us a letter cutting us off on account of our 'frequency of claims' (2, in years). Crooks.

Terrible avoid at all costs

We had an issue with our house and called to see if the insurance would cover it. They wouldn’t and then ask us for weeks to provide proof that we had made the repair. As I was working away I couldn’t get it done within the timeline they had set. Meanwhile, remember there was no open claim and we had provided proof that there was no risk of any damage to the home. Long story short they cancelled our policy without notification and now refuse to re-insure. They went so far as to tell me that we would have a hard time finding anyone to insure us now that we were dropped by one company and that we should have provided the proof within the timeline they set. Absolutely horrendous service and treatment, avoid these crooks at all costs.

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.

Go elsewhere

I filed a claim and literally spent hours trying to determine what was happening. Despite leaving 3 messages, my adjuster could not phone me back nor did he ever contact me. When I talked to his supervisor, he told me the adjuster would call me but it never happened...I have preferred customer status

Home Insurance up by 16%!

by boyet on Aug 21, 2018

I have been a loyal customer for 10 years on auto insurance and 9 years for home insurance. And we never had a claim with our home insurance for all those years too. We moved last year to a new city and we got our home insurance back to them. To renew our home insurance this year they increased it to 16% and the customer service person on the phone told me that the assessed value of our new home went up by 4%. She also told me that the price of materials is up to replace homes. I asked her why would you increase the price to 16% while the assessed value only went up by 4%. Then she referred me to another line called Star something for loyal customers as she cannot do anything about it. And they have to call me back since no one is available to speak with supposedly a Star and loyal customer. Time to shop around again folks and that includes our auto insurance now.

Horrible!!!

Johnson Insurance refused to cancel my deceased Mother's policy unless they heard from both executors of the estate, they were contacted and sent a copy of the death certificate and they continued to take the payments out of my Mothers bank account knowing full well she was deceased and her condo was sold. They even sent a registered letter addressed to my Mother 16 months after her death asking for payment or they would cancel her policy!!! Run, don't walk, away from this sham of a company!! They don't deserve the one star I was forced to give in order to review this mess of a company. Their customer service was no help either!!

Did you know that Ontarians pay, on average, $47/month in homeowners insurance? Looking to change your home insurance or simply want ensure that you do not overpay? Our home insurance quotes are among the most competitive.

Cancelled with no explanation

Opened mail on a Friday night after work to find out Johnson cancelled my auto policy on 2 vehicles a week before with zero notification and zero explanation. Have been a loyal customer for 10 years with home insurance, 3 automobiles, 1 boat and a camper. Had only 1 claim from a hit and run 2 years ago. Of all the things we have insured with them, they selected 2 vehicles to cancel coverage on. I cannot even grasp what predicament we might have been in if we had been in an accident during the time we had no insurance coverage without our knowledge.
