Deceptive quote process

My partner and I were victims of a tornado in the NCR region. This happened in September, and it is now almost March and we still haven't gotten a proper offer for our claim. The guy dealing with us ignored us until December, we called and emailed so many times and he never replied. We then escalated the matter to two of his managers who both ignored us as well. We lost so much stuff in the tornado since our apartment was on the top floor, to the point that I wanted to move away to avoid reliving the experience. We lost in total over 10K worth of things (my partner's hearing aids were lost, my laptop was broken, etc) so when they finally answered us, they told us they could only offer $1500.....My laptop ALONE was worth 2300 (MacBook), and we lost A LOT of stuff, let me tell you. So, we finally got offered someone else to deal with our stuff, who spoke to us ONCE over the phone, and then has been ignoring us for a month. It's been 8 months! We haven't been able to properly afford anything due to this situation. Please avoid TD at all costs, they will dodge you and low ball you.
different agent will give you different answers. the broker is very rude and will cancel your policy if he does not like you.
Wow is all I can say, I have not dealt with such unprofessionalism and total disregard for the customer.As most people have said, it is a company that is constantly raising their fees and reducing coverage.I made a house insurance claim , the fisrt agent I spoke to was empathetic to our situation and she made us feel like our insurance company cared and was on top of things.Once we were handed over to an adjuster things started to become unreal, there was a total lack of information and disregard to our phone calls and enquiries.We were told TD was very busy with claims arising from the freezing winter and were referred to an third party agency named Crawford and Crawford to handle our claim. The third party company was as bad as TD, they ignored our concerns and communication was very very bad, in the end we felt helpless as no one would get back to us and when they did we were left with little or no information.They also gave conflicting information and down right lied at times to suit their needs.A complaint to TD which is who I pay my rates to and not this other company did not do much,we felt abandoned by our Insurer so we moved our other insurance products to another insurance company because we felt the terrible experience was not commensurate with our loyalty to TD for many years, four months on our claim is approved but we are still to get our cheque since this Crawford and Crawford company does not seem to know what they are doing and have no respect for clients. I am glad to say I am in good hands now.

I signed up for a tenant policy. You can start obtaining a quote online but at a certain point, you are required to phone in and deal with an agent. The agent I dealt with, while very polite, did not voluntarily disclose some fairly major exclusions. These were only included in the policy details after signing up for it. Among the major exclusions, I assumed were covered were an earthquake, flooding, and water backup. I phoned back as soon as I received the policy details by mail and canceled (1 week after the policy was initiated). I was told there would be a charge almost equivalent to 1 month premium to cancel despite the fact I was only seeing the details of the policy for the first time and had had it for less than a week. When I asked for an email confirmation that the cancellation had gone through I was told they did not have the ability to do this despite the fact that they had sent me confirmation when I signed up for the policy. It is clearly a deliberate effort to be non-transparent to not disclose the details of the policy until after you've signed up already. I later found a quote that was a fraction of the price that covered the major exclusions in this policy. I should have done more research. Just glad I did not have to try to make a claim.
