DIABOLICAL EXPERIENCE, 6 MONTHS NO REPLY I received a letter to say I had an assurance policy i could cash in. I had forgotten about this Friends Provident policy. At the time I was dealing with my mum’s estate and I mislaid the letter. On 3/10/23 I decided to make an enquiry, wanting to trace this letter so I filled in the online form. i received a reply asking for more information, which I supplied. The email I received assured me that someone would be in touch shortly - silence, I was ignored, no reply. I followed up on 11/11/23 asking for an update - ignored, no reply. I telephoned on 27/11/23, the assistant was very polite and said she would put my information through again and that it would be picked up in 5 weeks and I would hear back in a few days - ignored, no reply. 29/12/23 I filled in a complaints form and it said Aviva would reply in 8 weeks - not a hope in hell - 10 weeks - ignored - no reply. This makes it a total 6 months of being ignored. I feel that I have been discriminated against and the whole diabolical experience has made me ill, it has caused me stress and mental anguish. To put it into context at the same time I cashed in a pension and it took less than 4 weeks from beginning to end - not with Aviva obviously! And I am in the process of selling and buying a property that is taking half the amount of time. This has to be the worst company I have ever had to deal with - and they do not care. they are totally lacking in any empathy

5 months since solicitors contact as part of probate. 2 times passed to their escalation team still nothing resolved. Now a formal complaint made by solicitor. Aviva require 20 working days to look into it. Please dont use this company, they are absolutely inept.

My pension was wrong due to no indexation being applied when taken over from Norwich union in 20029. Two years later, endless calls, emails, additional payments, complaint to the ombudsman and it is still wrong. At the end of every one of the 15 or so calls I have made I have been told "Someone will call you back within 48 hours, this situation will be expedited within ten working days." ( this has not happened once) Even a letter (two months ago) to the CEO Amanda Blanc hasnt resolved the issue despite the reply I received claiming "this will be dealt with as a matter of urgency." They are a bunch of incompetent clowns- avoid at all costs.

Took out life insurance and serious illness cover 15 years ago. 3 years ago diagnosed with cancer and chronic heart disease. Given 12 months to live. Fought the cancer and heart disease for 2 1/2 years but recently found out that the cancers won and I’ll die soon. Contacted Aviva to make a claim and they informed me that they would NOT pay me the £250000 settlement because I have to have 18 months left on my policy and I only have 10 months. I’m devastated. Last week I was told my life was ending, this week Aviva have scammed my wife and kids out of a quarter of a million pounds. The only way to get what they owe is to refuse treatment and hope I die before the 10 months is up. What a shameful heartless disgusting Company.

Never take out a life insurance policy with this company. My dad died when I was 4 and I have had this policy for 30+years, when I finally came to surrender 6 months ago.. I am still going through the process. Don't expect your funds to be liquid or issued in a timely manner. They actively delay the process and are not clear on what documents you need. They even asked me for payslips to prove the insurance policy was mine... for my dead father who passed away 30 years ago?? Yes sure?! Totally dodgy. AVOID! Don't pass on the stress to your family.

I have been trying for 2 hours to make contact with a person who can advise me why my policy is not showing up on the MyAviva app. I have tried every number I can find and every one diverts to a pre recording which points back to their chat bot. I eventually figured out how to asl enough correct questions that I made contact with an onlineChat agent and she was very helpful but by that stage I was frustrated beyond reason.

Worst company I have ever dealt with, over charged me on my premium renewal. Then overcharged me again and took the wrong amount of money each month, auto renewed me and then refused to abide by 14 day cancellation policy and insisted on contract cancellation penalties even though I don't have one! The customer service is appealing and rude, pretty sure it is based in SA where they have poor systems and no knowledge of UK country consumer law. You are told to do everything online but can't get through to anyone if online doesn't work. I never noramlly wrote reviews but one star for Aviva is an overrating, this is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with I will never use or recommend them to anyone my company pension is with them as my home insurance and I am moving everything away today. DO NOT TRADE WITH THIS OVERPRICED TERRIBLE COMPANY AS THEY WILL ONLY RIP YOU OFF

Had a quote for car insurance and was amazed as it was the same price as my last years price . My old insurance company wanted almost double the amount that Aviva charged.

DONT take out any life assurance policies with this company They will slash the final value close to maturity, not pay any final bonuses and claim and pretend that the computer has suddenly producing incorrect values and give you a significantly lower maturity value in writing before its even matured!!! And you thought only postmasters were being shafted. .

Website consistently refuses to show one of my two life bonds - computer says "no". One of their own staff told me it is "beyond the human brain to understand why." It is beyond mine to understand how they stay in business.

I have been with aviva for years home insurance I also have equity release with them, I have had a leak from my roof into my bedroom, they sent an inspector out To see take photos he sent them to aviva they decided they would not pay out Then they asked me to pay my house and contents insurance and it would go up because of my claim I just can’t believe this, It would advantageous for aviva to pay for the leak as they hold my deeds I certainly will not be insuring with aviva next year, Also every time you phone aviva you cannot get through to a human being Very disappointed customer
