I had a very disappointing experience with this insurance company. When I needed to make a claim, the process was slow, complicated, and required excessive documentation. Communication was poor, and I often had to chase for updates. The customer service team was not particularly helpful, and the outcome of my claim did not meet my expectations. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this insurer.

Not repaired properly

Phone damaged and sent for repair, £100 excess paid, phone returned eventually but no communciation from the company as to what was defective or had been replaced on the phone. Phone is now immediately not working again with same issue (wont charge past 1%) so presuming what they said had been fixed has not. Have contacted insurer again for them to hopefully resolve properly this time. Not impressed so far.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been, especially after paying the excess and waiting for your phone to be returned, only for the same issue to happen again.

I completely understand how disappointing it must have been not having clear communication around what work was carried out, and then finding the charging issue hasn’t been resolved.

Thank you as well for getting back in touch with us to raise this again. We appreciate the opportunity to review matters further and work with you toward a resolution.

Hi Mehtab,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been left feeling frustrated and disappointed by your experience.

Having reviewed the matter, your claim was declined as the documentation provided did not meet the policy requirements regarding VAT registration. We appreciate this was not the outcome you were hoping for and understand how disappointing that would have been.

As mentioned, I can confirm that your premiums have been refunded in full.

Thank you again for your comments and for giving us the opportunity to review your concerns.

Good

Good, clear communication about is what required, also, prompt service. Relatively easy online provision. I would have liked if there was also over the weekend correspondence, to help confirm whether my new cover had been activated, when setting up the insurance cover. Apart from that uncertainty I am very happy, thank you with such an easy service and provision.
