Terrible Service

I was trying to set up home insurance by doing the online quote and then call. I tried to call several times during several days at different time. Each time I waited for more than 1 hour without being able to speak to anybody. It's like they don't want new customers.
I was with TD Meloche for home/auto/travel etc from 2005 to 2020. I've spent my last two days off trying to cancel my one remaining policy. Collectively I've been on hold for 4 hours and have not yet been able to get through. This company used to provide amazing service - it feels now like the last employee has turned off the lights and walked out.
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.
It is time for renewal. The company has been merged or bought. Their product has changed. They are now forcing me to buy the $3M solution. I don’t need $3m in coverage. My house and all associated expenses and household contents would not be worth $3M. They increased my premiums from $67/month to $110/month. Seriously. I have been a loyal customer for 13 years. No claims. What a shame. Bye TD.
I had a claim related to a flood in my apartment and of course, TD insurance found a loophole in order to deny my coverage. I paid TD insurance money since 2001 and 20 years later when there was a problem in my apartment they did not cover the damages. We had a pipe leak in our condo and the laminate floor was damaged. The adjuster did everything possible to find a way not to pay for our claim. Please beware of TD insurance scam as they will make you live a living hell in case you have a claim. My advice is to stay away from TD Insurance and get a policy somewhere else. Huge scam!
I have had 2 home policies and 2 automobile policies with them for years. Never made any claims for years. This time, they jack up the premium 4× this year. The home policy used to be 1300 now they are asking for 4300 for the same homes. My guess is no regulatory bodies is governing the insurance companies? So they can do whatever they want to make the most profit? When I call for a quote, they give me a different quote every time even within the same day, each customer service representative would tell you a different story within minutes of calls. Their company is just an unethical business.
Unfortunately, we had our house broken into. The first adjuster did not understand their job. Send forms with other client's names on them to us. TD does not follow the policy terms and conditions. In my opinion the employees are incompetent and unprofessional. We have had to take legal action against TD.
Worst insurance company ever. I have had 2 homes and 2 auto insurances with them for years. I was encouraged to switch from a better company with more support staff to TD. I would recommend my physician colleagues stay away from them. There are lots of better options for us out there. I would never trust them after a very horrible experience. Cancelling all my insurances with them!
To anyone looking at home insurance, you may be attracted by their relatively inexpensive rates, and ease in setting up the policy, however, do NOT give this company any of your money. I've been trying to cancel a policy that's 5 years old now, and Meloche told me what I needed to provide over the phone, then I would send the required verbiage and cancellation notice via email, and they would request another document, or me to send something via fax or mail, then claim it wasn't received. In the end, they cancelled the policy but refused to pay back charges for the annual payments that were being taken out of my account. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.... You will probably regret it.
I wouldn't trust it anymore after being a customer for more than 10 years. I did not advise on policy. Change around policy details. Always try to minimize their liability. You need a lawyer to read through the fine print. An adjuster is not on-site and relies on their subcontractors that aimed to maximize their own profit only at the customer's expense. No "real" person to talk to, during a crisis and after, except for 1-800 number with long wait time.

I used Meloche Monnex for my home insurance and rental insurance. Quite simply they were virtually impossible to get a hold of. I was on hold for hours over the course of 8 days, both on the telephone and the virtual agent online. I did not have a claim, thank goodness, but wanted to inquire about changes to my insurance. After this terrible experience, I have cancelled my insurance and will be going with a local agent where I can go in and speak with someone directly. In six years my premiums increased 36% - with no discussion or explanation. And no way to discuss the change because no one answers their phone.
