“Waste of money, useless company. Was paying for 3 years to be insured in case something happens, had an accident at work hurt my lower back. Now they say they wont pay as I had some pain in my neck in the past which is not related to my lower back problem however they say it affects policy and can't claim anything on my back. So being out of work left without finacial help. LV was happy to take mothly payments but when it came to pay back when you need it they will find a paragraph not to do that. Big dissapointment. Avoid this company”

“Truly awful, incompetant service. They're great until something happens and then you see what they're really like. I had a driver go into the back of me at a junction. Also had an independent witness. Gave all the details to lv immediately, but they never bothered to contact the witness until 2 MONTHS after the incident, by which time the witness obviously did not want to know. The other insurers attempted to claim I rolled back, which is laughable, but LV just gave in and settled 50/50. They have covered my excess and labelled it as no fault, but it really gives ZERO confidence in their ability to deal with any sort of a claim in future. I complained, but although I had specifically asked that they contact me by email, they attempted to ring me twice, leaving garbled messages that none of us could entirely decipher. They eventually replied by letter (not email for some reason), but didn't really answer my questions and it doesn't seem to have been registered as a complaint as they make no reference to this. They also made no attempt to explain things, or to encourage me to have any confidence in their service. The letter invited me to go back to them if I 'had any questions' but left no direct contact (email or phone) details. Avoid!”

“Shameful company. Can stolen on the 2/3/2017 still not been paid out. Customer service skills would not go Miss. After countless phone calls and emails now have to get a solicitor involved as the settlement figure is not what was quoted when this was nicked. My company has suffered a huge loss and we will be looking to recover cost. Avoid at all cost worst company I have ever been with”

“Claim since May, third party at fault with proof from dashcam and clear road signs yet nothing. No communication, no updates, phone bill increasing from me chasing them all the time. Constantly being told the policy is to wait 21 days every time they submit something to third party insurer. I have had to pay my excess apparently to have my car repaired so they can now chase for financial loss. I honestly have never had such bad service, they speak to you as if your annoying them when you call each month for your update. Like other reviews they prefer to keep everything on phone conversations rather than written. I have had enough I wouldn't recommend them to anyone and I most definatley cannot wait to leave!”

“Unfortunate to have had lv in my corner when a third party hit my car from behind. Poor level of service from the moment I called them and no updates during the process. It was terribly stressful compared to a claim I had with another company a few years ago. I'd consider paying a bit more for cover from a reputable company.”

“Great until you need to make a claim, GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING They have been consistently competitive on price, so I have used them for many years, but then I came to make a no-fault claim. Another driver drove into my car whilst it was parked. Initially the service was fast and efficient to establish it was uneconomical to repair my car and I was not at fault. Despite several requests I have at no point received any written/ email correspondence form my claim handler. He clearly preferred to do everything over the phone. This may not have been a problem until the payment they processed for me was only two thirds of the agreed sum. All knowledge of the previously promised sum was denied. I have asked for recordings of all telephone conversations. They say that calls form the engineers (who give you the initial offer of compensation ) are not recorded. However I had mentioned the amount on calls I had made to the admin team (which are recorded) and these calls have not yet been made available to me. This will be going to the financial ombudsman”

“How crazy is this.... Paid for initial payment for car insurance then payment confirmed has not gone through only to find LV have taken payment 4 times and no insurance commenced. They have rejected the payments which are now in limbo and we are stuck without insurance. All because the bank address is different to car insurance address. No money left and no car to get to work along with an overdrawn bank account. Rang them to say nothing they can do”

“The LV Card Payment System Sucks! I Got a quote through Compare the Market and LV came out best. Followed through to LV purchase the insurance, completed the required steps on their website. Made a deposit payment using a NatWest debit card for £219 the screen said payment was completed. Pressed the Exit button to be taken back to the 'Pay a Deposit' screen on LV! LV had failed to record the deposit payment, but the funds had left our bank account - we even have the Auth Code for the transaction! Tried calling LV customer support - they cannot find the record of the payment (chocolate fireguards come to mind!). Now we are stuck! No Insurance; No funds in the bank to buy anywhere else! No doubt this will take days to sort!!!! LV = Not Recommended!”
