February this year was the end of my annual insurance with Achoice. I tried ringing but the phones were always busy, so I emailed them Instead. Received an email back stating my insurance had been cancelled. Thought everything was okay, carried on as normal, only to receive threatening letters from a debt collector explaining I owe £300+ because I didn't cancel my insurance. I proved my side of things with the emails and they are still after the money, making up different excuses as the go along. Absolutely disgusting company, don't bother with them rhey are a massive scam!!! Preying on the innocent with their cheap quotes!!

Stay clear we insured our car to then realise they had cancelled it even tho we gave all documents and payed deposits, absolute shocking customer services, it’s like an everyday thing to con customers out of money then they have cheek to want a cancellation fee not a chance, even tho it was them who cancelled STAY CLEAR!!!

If I could give minus stars, I would ... the worst insurance company I ever had to deal with .... extortionate fees if selling your car and with that cancelling the insurance early .... in desperation I transferred the policy and weeks later and many phone calls , still not able to have the included breakdown service in the correct name and car ... two managers got involved and were meant to contact me , which still hasn’t happened after 48 hours as promised .... endless waits on the phone just to achieve something as simple as asking for a breakdown certificate with the right details on .... what a complete farce this company is , Never again !!!!

very poor customer service, not the best insurance company out there. wouldn't advise anyone to go with them, is not worth the stress even though it may come across cheaper and your policy may be canceled. They would have you waiting on the phone for 45 minutes to an hour.

Scammers. Sent my no claims discount, pictures of license, signed credit agreements. Then they cancel my policy because they want a driving license summary (never heard of one, none of my previous 5 insurance companies have asked for this) Go for any other company except the scam artists. (Customer service very unintelligent)

Me and my friends are looking for a car insurance company, came across a choice. Now that I came across these reviews there’s no way any of us are buying from u guys. We live in central London in a very tight neighbourhood and word goes around. Not a good look!!! All I see is a reply sayin “please email me so I can look further” how about flipping not letting it happen in the first place?! Doughnuts

Where do I start? I had sent several emails to and from the company insurance regards to drivers licence, DVLA NCB letter and then my Driver's Licence check code. I then spoke with a gentleman who said I accidentally forgot to disclose a crash in 2015 which (was an honest mistake) he told me Underwriters would contact me as soon as possible, I then received a letter in the post in big Red underlined writing saying - Notice of Cancellation - I then called a different company and had to buy a new cover. To which I called A Choice extremely annoyed to which they responded that I had to pay £140 to cancel! The lady I spoke to on the 11/9 WAS RUDE, IGNORANT AND WAS QUITE HONESTLY NOT A PERSON WHO SHOULD WORK ON A PHONE. I then asked to speak to a manager and to which she responded there is a 48 hour call period. She said I could do a payment plan if I wanted but it would be an additional £20 a month. I then spoke to a family member who fortunately helped me out to which I called today 12/09 and paid for it in full. I have never had a bad experience with a company and this is the first review I have ever left and I'm disappointed it's started with a negative one! I would not recommend A Choice at all and advice people to stay away.

I requested for proof of NCB via their website and waited 72 hours as per their SLA. No luck. I then called them and they said i will receive it within 24 hours. Surprise Surprise, NO LUCK. I called today and they said they cant help me as that department is now closed (which is understandable) but will mark it as urgent. I dont understand how difficult it is to just send me proof. Reading through the reviews and having nearly 60% of them being 1 star just shows how much of a sh*t company A Choice is. I will definitely be complaining to the financial ombudsman because this service is disgusting and absolutely unacceptable. I can see below someone has actually mentioned about the financial ombudsman already if more people make them aware of A Choice's actions they will have no choice but to sort them selves out or get penalised. I have attached a link to their website for those who do not know who they are and what they are capable of. https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/consumer-leaflet.htm

There is a common theme with this company; they cancel your policy and keep your money. This happened to me today, they said I had a ccj, (I didn't know this) however this question was not asked on the comparison site directly. I received a notice of cancellation after six days, they said they will return £60 of my £247 deposit. Also any future insurance company will want to know if I have been refused or had a policy cancelled, this will probably make my insurance go up further. As a small self employed worker with an autistic child and a young family, these are the companies and challenges that can devastate your finances, My point is why did they take my money first and then check for ccj's???? Answer is to keep my money, they will keep yours too. READ ALL OTHER REVIEWS OF THIS COMPANY. CANCELATION=keep YOU MONEY. ombudsman must be contacted.
