Poor customer service ever

by Jo on Jun 4, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I have to call multiple times with each time at least 45 minutes to get hold of a customer service representative. Why multiple times? Because the first time after waiting 45 mins and managed to get a customer service representative, he directed me to another person and the call ended! So I have to call again and waited another 1 hour. My purpose is to cancel the policy and due to joint names, my husband wasn't beside me, and I have to get him to call again! I strongly think that thing can be improved if you have a dedicated email address to handle for cancellation. This can save both of our time.

WORSE OF THE WORSE! They kept charging us even we sold the property a year ago. When I called to cancel the policy on may 07 2019 they put me on hold for more than 3 hours, worse of the worse!

Avoid RBC like the plague

I had a quote for house insurance. I made it clear that there is knob and tube wiring in the house on the initial call ( which I understand was recorded). Had the insurance for a few months. RBC sent a house inspector to look at the house due to its age. Was surprised to receive a call saying that I had lied to RBC and I was committing fraud. I told them to listen to the original recording but was told he did not have access to it. Was then told that I should cancel the insurance myself rather than have it cancelled for me because it would make me look like a liar and I will find it difficult to get insurance in the future. I did this because I didn't really want further trouble. I also made a complaint about the attitude of this worker. The 'complaints department' also said that they 'do not record all calls' and will not be able to verify my statement. I can understand if they admit that they have made a mistake and say that they will no longer provide coverage for the house. What I cannot accept is being called a liar and a fraud for their mistake. I will never have anything to do with RBC again for anything. They have the worst customer service amongst big banks.

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.

Never get insurance here!

They will decide to terminate your insurance halfway through the year for a bogus reason the underwriter decides to pick in December. They will give you time until the beginning of January to find new insurance. They do not care that it’s Xmas and New Years, they have deemed they have given you enough time to get new insurance. This company has made a brand new homeowner know what to not look for in a home insurance company! They will not work with you at every chance they get.

Do not trust this company

RBC charged the wrong credit card, although they had two current ones on file that they recently used. They refused to take payment over the phone as I wanted to make sure I had insurance. Then they cancelled my policy. However, after reading these reviews, I am relieved I am insured elsewhere as it looks like dealing with them on claims is horrible. Do not trust this company.

Worst border on criminal

I had a fire claim, it took them almost a year and they did nothing. They told me they could give me the money and I could do the work but they held back 25 %. When almost all the work was completed, I called and said I wanted the additional funds. They said it is over a year and the claim had expired. This is a total lie. In Ontario, we have two years to complete a claim. I could go on and on but in short, this RBC insurance company are scum. When I cancelled the policy, I paid a premium $117 for December 1. Cancelled on the December 9th and got a $19 refund. In other words, they can do anything to screw you around and you can't cancel without a penalty.

STAY AWAY FROM RBC!!!

by Joey Neault on Nov 2, 2018

Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced. RBC as an organization does not value its customers on an individual basis, nor does it value its retention of loyal customers. RBC unexpectedly cancelled my home and auto insurance policies, only to demand the remainder of each policy to be paid up front. This tactic is unethical and should be illegal. My banking, mortgage, investments and all insurance products were with RBC, all will now be changed due to their poor customer service and the countless hours on hold waiting to speak with a careless call centre.

Horrible Customer service

I have been trying to get ahold of them to cancel my policy. My premiums doubled in 2 years (never had a claim). Anyways, after many days of trying to get ahold of them, I did (waited 2 hours on hold), then it took the representative another 45 minutes to process my request (Mostly on hold again). Terrible in every way possible. Way to go, RBC...

Horrible

I do everything with RBC...some fraudulent purchases were made on my visa in 2017 and I missed a payment as a result. I called and had the issue rectified. At the same time, I provided updated information along with an updated mailing address. RBC insurance failed to update the information I provided. They subsequently sent my mail to the WRONG address. No phone calls, no emails...nothing, just 1 piece of mail to the wrong mailing address. It actually wasn't even a former address...now RBC insurance won't insure me because of their mistake! Now my credit score is reflected as a result and my premiums have gone up with my alternate insurance company...Horrible. Never ever use them...I'm even considering leaving RBC because of it.

This place is the worst company if you have a deceased person that lived alone and have property insurance with RBC...they wanted me to fax the death certificate and will...okay, I will ask how many of you have a fax at home...so they said I could email the documents but that took a few more calls to them and it still is not canceled ...is this how RBC makes all the profit by delaying to get more money from the DECEASED estate ...RBC Fail!!!
