Covea failed in their duty of care

Covea failed in their duty of care – deeply distressing experience for a vulnerable customer
My experience with Covea has been extremely upsetting and has left me feeling completely unsupported at a time when I am financially vulnerable and needed my insurer to act with care and consistency. Instead, I faced repeated communication failures, constantly changing evidence requirements, and long periods of silence. Despite providing everything they asked for, my claim was suspended and my complaint was closed without addressing any of the concerns I raised.

This situation has caused significant emotional distress, anxiety, and sleepless nights, as well as real financial strain while I wait for a fair outcome. As a vulnerable customer, I expected Covea to show a basic duty of care, but instead I felt dismissed and left to cope alone. I have now had to escalate the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service just to be heard.

No one should be put through this level of stress when they are already struggling. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Covea to anyone, especially those who may be vulnerable or relying on their insurer to act responsibly.

Legal advisors on your panel provided shocking service!

Although I have no issues with Covea directly, unfortunately the legal experts provided, during an approved claim made, which dragged on for months, was made much worse via the 3rd party company provided, under their panel of legal advisors , caused horrendous communication and further delays!

Though our claim was successful in the end, the shocking service and non response to emails initially from Aug 2024, meant this nightmare could and should been dealt with much sooner, which caused further stress and worse off financially as we were losing money!

Unfortunately as we paid our money via a broker, who insured us for commercial property via Covea insurance, you have to accept responsibility for the poor legal representatives on your panel!

After arriving back from Wales my wife parked the car on the street , I decided to get it closer to the front door, so I reversed across the grass very slowly trying to avoid the dustbin unfortunately as I approached the garden fence I accidentally pressed the accelerator, crashing through the fence and smashing the concrete bunker behind and hitting the bin.
