Rip off

by Unhappy customer on Nov 12, 2017
2 out of 5 stars

The customer service is good but the rates are astronomical! I will be saving $80/month going elsewhere and having the same coverage. I called Meloche to see if they could reduce the cost since I have been with them for 4 years and they said this is the best they can do.

we have been with TD Meloche Monnex for many years. we have always had and paid for a comprehensive solution. in the last 5 years premiums have just been rising and they cannot provide any good reasons. some B.S. about being in a high risk zone for sewer backup was one they are trying to get past us. coverage for that has gone from 100,000 to $15,000, while the premium for it has increased 460% in the past 5 years. Rip off artists!!!!!
every year I call and ask why we are being penalized. we have already increased deductibles.
Service is good when you need them, but we cannot continue to allow them to take advantage of us.

Under Insured

I recently reviewed the insurance on 3 properties and they all have increased on average 15% per year over the last 5 years. This increase is not in line with inflation and when questioned I am given the same response that they made a calculating error in their policies causing an disproportionate increase in claims. Furthermore my coverage is decreasing and limits are being set which no longer provide adequate insurance. My sewer backup limit has dropped to $15K from $61K and my premium for this coverage increased $12. Being familiar with the cost of claims I am well aware that $15K will likely only cover the cost of tearing a basement apart and drying it up but leave nothing for restoration or contents. I called to ask why my policy was amended and now under-insured and was told that all policies are now capped at $15K for sewer backup unless I purchase additional insurance. All 3 properties are rated by TDMM as a category 3 risk for sewer backup however the cost to increase coverage from 15K to 50K varies from $35 - $78 per year. They could not answer why the cost for the additional $35K of coverage would vary for properties in the same city, geographical region and risk group.
They also informed me it is my responsibility to know my insurance needs and they can change rates and coverage at any time.
In short I no longer trust TDMM as they are not looking out for me and helping me manage my risk but only care about their risk and their bottom line. If you are not an insurance expert I would stay away from TDMM as their policies are not designed to help you in your time of need.
BTW 10 years insured and never a claim.

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.

Ridiculous increase 45%

Our home insurance renewal just arrived, a 45% increase from last year. Upon further examination, I can see this is an overall increase of 240% from 2010. This after 9+ years no claims, no incidents.
TD letter states that 'there may be an increase in your home insurance premium. In order to continue to provide high-quality insurance to you at a competitive price'
How do they consider a $1485 annual premium to be competitive when our friends & neighbours are paying on average $500 - $650 for the same, or similar policies?
I can only assume that TD is counting on the majority of policy holders being either too busy, or too tired to care. I am both tired & busy, but I will make the time to shop around.
