Cooperators Home Insurance Reviews

I have 6 home policies, 2 automotive an 2 life insurance pilicies and have been deali g with Co operators for over 15 years
My house burnt down over a month ago and still no decision made on my claim, my calls of inquiry to the adjuster go directly to an answering machine and my calls are never returned. Co operators St Johns Newfoundland.
Great at taking your money but Poor at settling your claim

Agent from Co operators came to pre inspect my newly purchased house in Trenton, it had been renovated top to bottom, he was amazed at the fact that everything was new and immediately they asked for more
money to up the value, I was from another province and alone, sent the
extra money in and moved in, 2 weeks later had a giant flood, it seems a large hole was patched in the floor when a beam was removed from the renovation and covered with carpet, agent never came until 5 days later and severe damage was done, I was on my own and had to throw 1250 square feet of new carpet out, lost fireplace, shower and all rooms were with water damage, after I nearly had a stroke cleaning up the agent came and said its not covered and left. No warm and fuzzy feelings there! I had to call and have basement redone and then have a new renovation done, am now $40,000 in the hole, do not ever use Co operators in Trenton, Ontario. I was told just after purchase I had flood insurance by them.!

After being a loyal Co-Operators customer for 29 years with ZERO claims on my automobiles, our home and our cottage, I had the misfortune of some rainwater entering a window and damaging the walls, etc.
When I called to make a claim, I was sent from person to person, with the end person on holidays! It took nearly 4 days to make a claim and then I had to email pictures of the damage. Within 5 minutes I had an email back indicating they were not covering the damage. WOW! I always felt I was covered for everything, at least that is what my agent said....They never came to inspect the home and following nearly $8000 per year in premiums this is the level of service and loyalty I should expect? Be very careful of this company, their commitment to customers is poor and you will be left leaving their office with false hopes and they will stick it to you when you need them.

After being assured by the agent that I was covered for everything and being sucked in to that warm fuzzy feeling, I found Co-Operators to be full of it. I insure everything I own with Co-Operators and have never had a claim. I pay them over $14,000 a year in premiums.( I own a lot of stuff.)
I had about an inch of water in my basement when some of my neighbours had 6 feet. It came in through a window well. Minimal damage but I thought I would use this a a test for them. No one from Co-Operators ever even came to my house when I got a letter saying I was denied the claim because the damage was caused by rain water. Co-operators is history with me now. Don't believe anything they say about multiple lines of insurance will get you better treatment. Remember NO insurance company is your friend. You have to play hardball with them

I'm renting my building out so I was able to get flood insurance as a business. After the recent Calgary flood that caused major damage a cooperators adjuster came unannounced while I was out and when I came back started telling me how old everything was and that it's hardly worth anything. He could depreciate everything by 75% etc. but won't do it and only depreciate 50%. Now, I clearly did not buy the policy to have only 25% of the building covered. Those are bully tactics and they are clearly not acting in good faith or are instructed to do so.

They make it sound like they would take care of you but all they want is your money. The salesman makes it sound like Co-operators is the best in the world but do not be deceived. My townhouse was flooded twice in the same year by the people upstairs. Even though it was the tenants who lived upstair's fault, they will push the payments on you and make up a story that you have to pay first and that they don't go after the other tenant's insurance even though it was their fault. Then on top of that, they said when you renew your insurance, your insurance might just go up a bit. When it was time for renewing insurance, they dropped me and said they could no longer cover my insurance and told me to go look somewhere else. Poor customer service with a lot of attitudes. Never have I been angrier in my life. Was cheated by these joke. You will regret going with these fools.
