Disgusting company

Disgusting company. They’re a pack of vultures. They took advantage of my uncle who is 70 years old, for who I have Lasting power Of Attorney as he has suffered with his mental health for some time. Over the course of 18 months, they hounded him to take out insurance policies for household items, such as £10.90 a month for an air fryer! An Air Fryer that was 5 years old and cost £40 new! 19 Direct Debits “NINETEEN” were generated over that period for things like a kettle, fridge, freezer, washing machine, etc. They only stopped when I happened to be with him when a sales advisor called him telling him he was sending out his new documents! Coming from a sales background of 15 years myself, The sales tactics used by HomeShieldDirect and or the sales advisors is CHURNING, whereby they call you regularly to cancel existing policies and take out new “BETTER” policies so that they can benefit from commission. This practice is HIGHLY unethical sales tactics which isn’t used by compliant companies. However HomshirldDirect think that practice is acceptable. Stay well clear of this company, absolute parasites with no moral compass.

Scammers keep a watch for new direct…

Scammers keep a watch for new direct debits appearing. Cancelled October 2025 only to keep having new direct debits added without authority. Luckily noticed and bank cancelled DD (3 times now) and refunded me but company needs some one to look into it. If there was zero stars they would of got that as 1 star to high. Customer service pleasant and cancelled orders I did not authorise but sorry the company is trying to steal and that's not good enough.
MY BANK CANCELLED UNUTHORISED PAYMENTS FOR THE 2ND TIME THIS YEAR 2026. I AM WAITING A REPLY ASKING WHEN THIS ACCOUNT AND HOW IT WAS STARTED IE. TELEPHONE CALL, DATES ETC...STILL WAITING BUT THE CLOCK IS TICKING AS YOU HAVE A FEW DAYS LEFT. ADVISED BY TRADING STANDARDS

Dear Dee

Can you please confirm your surname, email and or plan number. We cannot locate any request for information from you. We will then immediately check our records.

Thank you for your review. We take any concerns about payments very seriously.

Having investigated your account, our records show that the Direct Debits in question were cancelled by you through your bank, not by our company.

When you contacted our customer service team, we were happy to assist by cancelling the orders on your account, as requested. We are sorry that your experience has led to this review, but we respectfully disagree with your account.

If you believe there is additional information that we have not considered, we encourage you to contact us directly so we can investigate further and work towards resolving any outstanding concerns.

Kind regards
