TD Insurance is a big scam!!

They extended their liability insurance to vacant which is better than the others I was quoted for and they have the highest deductible limit that I also was able to find by shopping around.
I chose a $20,000 deductible (I am only concerned about major loss) and the premium was very good. Unfortunately, I HAD to also buy “water damage” insurance and the coverage limit is $25,000. With my $20,000 deductible, there is very little coverage for me…. I wanted to opt out of water damage, but TD insurance wouldn't let me. The water damage insurance is 12.4% of my premium, and it is wasted money in my opinion.
Same as others in this forum, we are long-time TD customers and every year there are price increases, however, this year it is more than substantial at 34%. The sole excuse from TD is that replacement costs are up, so they just chose to increase the coverage on our policy. We are totally over-ensured at this amount and certainly do not require or want the additional amount. I also called and spoke with an actual person who again said the same thing. Forcing customers to over-insure is price gouging, plain and simple! This must be some form of loophole they are using to justify huge premium increases.
It turns out that, by default, their policy does not cover water leak damage for an unoccupied condo unit (note: the leak was caused by another unit). Then what am I getting insurance for..?!
I had a minor claim and my TD insurance went up over $500.00 a year and has kept going up significantly. I even changed my deductible and a few other things to keep the rates as low as I can but continued to pay over $2000.00 a year.
Then I had a break-in and couldn't even do a claim. My $3000.00 bike was stolen and TD only covers $500.00 for your bike maximum no matter what it is worth. So we didn't even do the claim.
I called them at the end of September to explain we would need less than 2 months' coverage. So after the 2 months, I see a final payment of $199.15. I call and it cannot be changed or reversed and is the cancellation fee...
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.
BE AWARE! If you live in a mobile home. To be covered by insurance you have to climb under your home EVERY DAY because if you don’t catch a leak within 24-48 hours they WILL NOT cover you!!!
TD Insurance has decided not to insure properties under construction due to COVID-19. I asked, but nobody was able to give me an answer as to how a virus can cause damage to a residence. I've been with TD Insurance for my home and vehicles for 9 years. My property went under construction during COVID-19. I tried to change my policy due to the construction that is underway (and stalled). They told me they cannot provide insurance due to the virus. DO NOT CHOOSE TD insurance.... they will take your money, but when you need them, they say "we can't help you"...
They miscommunicated that we wanted the restoration companies to clean everything, ended up paying over $12,000 out of pocket for the accidental restoration of broken/non-fitting items. Wouldn’t get callbacks for WEEKS, dealt with over 30 people trying to get things fixed or done. Went through three main adjusters, one let go for incompetence, another had a job change in the middle and the last wrote off all usable clothing instead of provided list I made myself of actual losses. I lost all of my sentimental things that were fine due to this with an unreasonable (CRDN) company. DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM. Sold us a policy when I asked for $50,000 EXTRA coverage for jewellery ok top of the $79,000 content, they charged me $200 more (on top of $400, 50% more) and made $50,000 out of $79,000 for jewellery. Lost so much due to this clerical error but they would not take responsibility. After a review of the call, they admitted it was a miscommunication on their end but did not fix it. I called for another quote and they told me the same thing! Tried to sell me the same package with incorrect info! I have recordings of all of the misinformation from CRDN and TD and intend on getting some money back from CRDN. Two companies mistakes I had to pay for. Please do not deal with these guys!
Would not cover due to outside water coming in through a crack in foundation. After 10 years with TD, it still was refused. Not worth hiring a lawyer or fighting in small claims court. They need to be sued on a class action basis and maybe straighten up.

They have a strategy: over-the-top friendly customer reps are the nicest peope on earth when it comes to purchasing your home insruance. they give you what they make you believe is an amazing offer, and get you to sign an agreement with them.
That's where the good stuff ends.
If you get into an unfortunte situation where you have a legitimate case to claim, they will deny you citing numerous loop holes they have hidden in your terms of contract. If you actually read your contract, you'll see that the most common types of incidents are not covered, and you need to purchase them as add-ons on top of your premium.
I purchased the GOLD package thinking I'm covered in case of most types of incidents. Two weeks ago, due to a blockage in the main pipe, sewer water backed up in my kitchen sink, destroying kitchen cabinets, hardwood floors, and contaminating the entire apartment unit. The adjuster paid a ONE-MINUTE visit to my apartment, only to inform me that nothing is covered because the "sewer backaup from sink" is not covered under my polic, and that it is an endorsement that I had to purchase separately.
If you're with TD Insurance, call immediately and cancel your service. you're wasting your money and will never get anything from TD.
If you're considering TD Insurance, then turn around and run away. Their deal may seem delicious, but it's poisonous.
TD Insurance is THE WORST.
