Sewer Policy change

by lethbridge on Jul 31, 2013
1 out of 5 stars

After being with this insurance company for 15 years with no claims, I received a call to informed my that the sewer backup policy will be changing from $100K to $15 K starting 2014. I however will be paying for the same premium. If an incident will ever happen what can $15K fix these days???

From Lethbridge, AB

THE BIGGEST THIEVES

by Gautam on Jun 23, 2014

I am writing to express my extreme displeasure in working with TD Meloche Monnex. I had taken up a coverage with TD last year after we moved into our new home last year in May. I had taken the policy up as it offered some options that my earlier provider Co-operators was not able to cover. Although the premium was higher by almost $ 300 then I took up the policy.
This year towards the renewal period (May 21st) I was told that the policy premium will go up for $ 65 to $ 88 a month on grounds of Alberta Floods. I hate the time of this discussion and questioned the logic of increasing the premium by over 35 % as it was widely in the news to expect a 10-20 % increase. I was told by the agent over the phone that we will need to accept it as this is the rate..

I had at that very moment decided to shop around for alternative provider as it just did not feel right. The cherry on the icing is that when I eventually managed to get a lower 17 days into the renewed policy I was asked to pay a $ 133 short rate fee !!!!!

This seems more like a case of capitalistic arrogance to me. The whole situation is completely controlled. I have to accept the changed exorbitant premium or pay an extra 133 $ for leaving you. The clock starts ticking from the first day of the policy. Best part of the story is that I have to suck up and live with this as I am pressed for time and feel that most others similarly placed people would be.

I am fully aware that TD does offer very different rates to different customers and have clearly witnessed that when Mortgage shopping.I have been banking with TD for 2 years and feel my loyalty with the company has not paid off at all. TD lost out on our mortgage business also due to their lack of responses and I ended up getting offers when they realised I had secured my business somewhere else.

I am a lay person in insurance business but I would understand most companies would underwrite risks with similar parameters which I assume are regulated to some extent. I hate to say that with identical and in some cases better coverage offered by competitor is at a much lower price.

Why should I be paying high premium for a a set up which does not offer even to discuss the policy in detail.Is it my contribution to the high salaries in the corner offices in TD or towards some financial blunders that you might have done and I have to pay for.

On a side note I have clear evidence on the premium hike as I have a quote from Cooperators dated last year April and this year vs TD to indicate the range in differences, which to me should be in similar nos considering all other parameters around it are equal. I would assume both companies had similar write off's due the recent floods. Here again these nos show that the premium hike has no logic and has been done more for an opportune cause than just.

Best part of the story.. 3 email follow ups to customer service to even get an acknowledgement.

Way too expensive!

I pay 3 times higher rates than my friends and neighbours because I'm stupid enough to go with this company. I am cancelling my insurance with them before my policy renews. When you call to ask them to reduce it because it's so ridiculously high all they do is put 20 year olds on the phone who READ you stuff straight from their policy instead of talking to you like a person with a mortgage like a 20 year old wouldn't have anyway…

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.

Increase in Home insurance

Mine increased by 45% due to floods in Calgary and Ice damage in Toronto. I am currently with TD Home/Auto and they said they have increased everyone's from 25% up to 72% from last year. My increased was another $200 per year. BTW, I never had a single claim in all my years of owning a home. As home insurance is not regulated "from the manager", they are able to spread their loss across Canada.

I do not live in or near Calgary or Toronto and I am being penalized so they can recover their loss! Definitely looking at other insurance companies and I am spreading the word around to my friends and family!

My home insurance premium has doubled from 2011 to 2015, with no claims made ever to them. VERY unprofessional customer service. They are not recommended!

Beware on renewal

by gismo3 on Mar 17, 2015
1.5 out of 5 stars

We have had Meloche Monnex ever since they took over Liberty Mutual (+10 years) and in recent years the home policy has been creeping up and even though we never had claims. Every time I called, seemed they change their coverage and/or gave excuses on taxes/ gov't changes. I had always not bothered to look around. Now, I finally did and got much better quotes elsewhere and including Auto. I suggest to shop around when your renewal takes place.

Households in Alberta pay, on average, approximately $60/month in homeowners’ insurance costs. We can help to push these costs even further down. Get a house insurance quote today to start saving today. Rates start at $20/month.

Comparing prices with other companies, it's always been the best priced for the same coverage. Dealing with them has been easy and claims were handled quickly and without any problems.

Rip off

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.

I have been on-hold for an hour and a half to make my annual payment for my home insurance. Terrible service!. Avoid these guys at all costs.
