TD Insurance Home Insurance Reviews

Called to modify my existing home insurance policy. I was given a quote and a grace period to shop around for a better premium. Shopped around and found it was best to stick with TD. Called back to accept the new premium and was told that the previous quote was incorrect, and was given a much more expensive price, which was not the cheapest I found. Was told that the grace period was over and that the new premium prices were going into effect. Asked what the cancellation fee before the next payment would be, was given a number. Changed insurance providers and when I called back to cancel they tried to charge me over 3 times as much.

Overall very frustrating to deal with and phone agents are either incompetent or are lying to you.

Contacted TD regarding insuring 3 properties(2 owned by Fiancee and 1 by myself) Received good quotes. Decided to go with insurance, issued debit information. Then quote changed. The back and forths continued hectically because after the original quote, I cancelled my previous policy, and was now without insurance. After reading several things online, and after I had my quote baited and switched on me, I decided not to follow up.

Expecting paperwork, or a follow up thought nothing of it. Despite the fact that they never actually spoke to my fiancee(ie owner of the properties) , any type of signature, or anything.... they just started taking money. Over $2000 for insurance we already had elsewhere.

Similar to other stories I have seen on here, when I started out with TD home insurance in 2010 my policy was $437 for the year, which by 2014 had increased to $ 1485 for the year. As an example - from 2012 to 2013 it increased by $266, despite never having filed a claim and no changes in the policy.
I am almost certain I'll see yet another increase when I get the renewal papers sometime in the next month, but I am DONE! When comparing insurance with many of my neighbours we are paying $600 -$700 more annually. It is time to shop around, and say good bye to these thieves.

The service has always been excellent - as long as I had no home insurance claim.
We had a major roof leak in our home, roof was 12 years old. Adjuster (who would not return my calls and it took me a full week to get her on the phone) told me my claim was denied due to my own negligence. When I asked her how having a 12 year old roof could be considered negligent (!), she asked me when the last time I had been in the attic to check on my roof, said she checks hers monthly. She was rude, insulting and smug and boy did we fight her. Eventually, our claim was accepted but they made it impossible every step of the way.
If you do have a claim, do everything by email so you have a record of what is said or else they play with you like crazy. Once we started communicating by email (and I had made complaints to superiors), things straightened out, although communication remained poor.
Also, they raised my rates by over 50%. I was told this is what they do in certain neighbourhoods, where they have many clients, they don't want too much risk in case of a flood in the neighbourhood, for example. Or they refuse to provide insurance on certain coverages like, sewer backup or roof leaks.
Terrible company. great service when you call for quotes though.

Upon my renewal of my home insurance I was informed that any and all insurance regarding my roof regardless of claim type has been cancelled. I bought my house 4 years ago and it is 25 years old. In order to get my insurance reinstated I must either A) prove to them that the shingles are less than 7 years old, or B) re-do the roof and get an engineering inspection report citing the following: attic insulation R-rating, if the soffit is properly vented, photos and receipts for the new roof (shingles or steel), name of certified building engineer and that the framing can withstand the areas potential maximum snow load. Yikes! How am I supposed to do that in the middle of January? A little heads-up please! I get the feeling that once a house gets to being 25+ years old it automatically fails unless the policy owner submits proper receipts, photos and engineer reports on a regular basis. This will cost me over $1000 to do it to their satisfaction. I wonder what would happen if I put in a claim. My roof looks fine and should be good for at least 5 more years from what I see. I'm out...

I have been an auto and home insurance client with TD Meloche Monnex for over 30 years. However, despite only 2 home claims being submitted, (1992 and 2008), they have increased my home insurance premiums a whopping 105% from 2011 to my 2014 premium of approximately $1,500. The main reasons provided for the increases is the jump in claims for sewer backup water damage attributed to more frequent and severe climatic incidents such as the flooding in the Alberta and GTA regions this past spring. They have also reduced my sewer backup coverage from $50K to $15K and increased my premium by more than $100. I was told I cannot increase my sewer backup coverage unless I install a sewer backup valve. They also refused to provide me with historical data to substantiate why my postal code area reflects the highest risk factor for backup. There have not been any major events in the area for the past few years. I have received multiple quotes at a significantly lesser overall premium, which include sewer backup coverage over $500k. Beware to current clients and consumers considering this company.

I have been with TD for 13 years and have multiple insurance policies. Despite being claim free my home insurance jumped an astronomical 700. All because the company has had huge payouts this past year. What happened to loyalty and claim free rates? I had a quote just today for 900 less. Advice - shop around and maybe they may realize they are loosing great clients.
