TD Insurance Home Insurance Reviews

It's been 5 days that I'm trying to update my policy I have been on hold for 3-4 hours each time with no success. I will be looking at another agency, as this is totally unacceptable customer service!

I signed up with TD Home insurance because of the good rates through my alumni discount. After setting up the policy I had to make a small change. I called repeatedly but have been on hold - day one was 2.5 hours, and day two was over 3 hours. No customer service agent has answered. This is ridiculous. Avoid TD home insurance and go with another company.

I sold one home and bought another... Just needed to get home insurance changed over. I have been on hold now for 1 hour, 29 minutes and 52 seconds... No closer to getting it changed over. I had finally spoken with someone, but he then said he could get his system to work and would transfer to another person... still waiting. This is the most ridiculous customer service ever.

In this recent hail storm, all of my neighbour's insurance companies paying them to replace the roof and siding and this cheap company telling me to repair it instead of replacing, and when I tried to talk to them my adjuster stop picking up my phone calls and no reply for the emails. Do not blame your luck after getting this cheap insurance company. Stay away from them.

2-3 hours no answer! I've been trying for 8 weeks now. In English or in French no difference. They don't even have a way to call you back.

TD Insurance is definitely an unethical company. On my first call for a quotation, I got a fairly low price for home insurance pending home inspection. After a home inspection, they did not call or write. Close to my start date, I called and found out that they have more than doubled the quoted price and the only reason is that the cost of rebuilding if needed is higher than they had quoted. I believe that they should have known all this during the initial quote as they had my house address, house size, roof material, etc. The home inspection did not turn out any discrepancies to our initial conversation. I believe they purposefully underquoted. These are bait tactics that prevented me from shopping and checking quotes from other companies. TD Insurance is definitely unethical. I will not start my policies with them as I can't trust them to keep their promises if an unfortunate event is to happen. PS. Also, they promised to call back within 24 hours with more explanation about the reasons for the policy change but never did. That was more than 7 days ago.

I was out of the country for two years and set up an auto-renewal plan for my home insurance. When I returned, I found out there was a problem with the auto-payment, and so my house was not insured for one year. In addition, when I talked to an insurance representative, I was charged an extra $104 and told I would not be able to renew my plan. TD Insurance had my contact information, but I received no email to let me know about this problem. Very disappointed. I would have been devastated if I came home to a house that had damage, or was burnt down, and no insurance.

I made a claim in April 2016 due to a windstorm blowing shingles off of our home, and were given to ClaimsPro through TD. We had a roofing company come and quote the damage, but the claim was "closed" due to the damage being less then our deductible. Come July our insurance renewed and our monthly payment went up $50 a month, when I called to ask why I was given to a ton of different people before finding out over a month later that they were claiming the claim under our name because they had to pay the roofing company to come quote the damage as well as ClaimPro for dealing with our claim. My overall experience was horrible, I never talked to the same person twice and was never called back. Do not go through this company, I switched to Statefarm and have had an amazing experience with them so far. I am paying almost $200 less a month for car and house insurance.

I have just cancelled all policies with this company. I had four properties and a tenant package insured with this firm. I also had four automobiles insured with them. There was one claim on a property caused by a tenant who flooded the ceiling in the apartment below.This is the only claim in approx. five years of coverage. During this claim I had to do the emergency work myself as this occurred on a weekend. Once the adjuster did come he was very friendly and quite fine to deal with. However, the damaged caused to the apartment below consisted of a collapsed ceiling kitchen and floor damage which made the apartment unlivable. The contractor was unavailable for 3 months. I had to do the work myself. Next point is that my policy went from $1800.00 per year to almost $7000.00 . There should be a law against this as they are bandits.I am a retired Police Officer and many inmates are far more honest than these people. I cancelled my insurance and had to pay a substantial fee. The co-Operators insurance saved me over $3000.00 and were happy to get my business. This was on just one property. They also cancelled my cottage insurance and tried to charge me a fee to cancel although they were cancelling the policies as they would not insure the cottage without the home, they were charging over $3000.00 a year more for . Insurance companies are out of hand.Their profits are enormous. The consumers need some protection against this behaviour . Politicians talk the talk but really do nothing to help they are just a lip service for these white shirt thieves.

I have purchased all my insurance from TD Meloche Monnex since 1994. During that time I have paid $55,762.86 in premiums and have never had a claim. Last year I was shocked when my home insurance premiums went up by 43.8%. I called to complain and was simply told that overall insurance costs were going up because of recent bad weather, notably the flood in Calgary. I didn’t flood, but I understand that insurance is a concept whereby several people pool their resources to spread the risk. I argued at the time that TD Meloche was obviously insuring too many high risk individuals. I naively accepted the increase in premiums.

Now a year has gone by, and I just found out they want to increase my premiums by an additional 24.2%. This is outrageous, especially considering the fact that TD Bank is making over $1 billion/quarter in profits.

I really didn’t feel like they appreciated my business so I decided to shop around. Wow, am I ever glad I did. Everyone I called was cheaper than TD Meloche. I’m sure you’ll argue that I’m getting less coverage. Let me assure you that I spent at least one hour discussing each quote with the prospective insurers, making sure I was getting equivalent coverage.

I decided to give my business to ScotiaLife Financial. My new policy is 41% cheaper than TD Meloche. How is that possible? I can only conclude that TD is trying to take advantage of people by using the flood as an excuse, or they’re simply incompetent and insuring too many high risk clients. Either way I don’t want to do business with them anymore.

TD has managed to totally piss-off a loyal customer of 20 years.
