Confirmed I had a valid claim after my bike was stolen. Then realised they had also sold me an excess protect policy and would have to pay out £850 and not the £75 they thought. Once they realised this they decided that my claim was not valid - but refused to give any reason for their change of heart. This was after over three months of chasing them. In that six months I spoke to them on roughly 20 occasions. On 6 occasions I was promised a call back which never materialised. I only found out they had 'decided' my claim was not valid when the email that they promised to send with details of how my claim would be progressed now that it was 'valid' did not arrive and had to ring them to find out why. Additionally I then complained and received a letter stating that they would be in touch to resolve my claim within 4 weeks. After 5 weeks of no contact they left me a voicemail asking if my claim had been resolved, which was a odd question given that they had not made any effort to contact me before then. When I rang them to state that is had not been resolved they told me they did not intend to try and resolve it and would not discuss it any further with me. I am currently deciding whether to pursue via the obudsman or via legal action. I'm more minded to go the legal route as I'd quite like to look at a punitive punishment. They are nothing more than immoral cowboys - run a mile.

Never ever insure yourself with this company period! They have become independent and now keep your data for continuous payment. This means they have all your card details including security code. I had a friend pay a one off payment and they took the following months without consent after being told not to save the details. The customer service is shocking, they are not interested in what you say just place you on hold for hours on end. Informed them that taking a payment on a card that they were specifically told was a one off was fraud, theft as well as a breach of data protection. They are not interested and have been told on several occasions now that 'It's irrelevant'. in a nutshell this is not the best nor is it the UK's number one insurance broker, if so then the population are mugs.

I wanted to insure my Yamaha MT-125 worth new about 4K. MCE insurance quotes it for £306 with £250 volontary excees that we discussed over the phone and I agreed for it. When papers arrived I found out that there is compulsory excees which is £2000!!!!! On top of which there is my £250 of volontary one I agreed for. The lady from MCE did not clearly said on the phone about this. Who would insure the bike with £2000 compulsory excees? I checked other companies and most of them have £250 of compulsory excees. Of course I wanted to cancel my insurance with MCE straight away and, as you can expect, there was aministration cancellation fee about £50!!! NEVER, EVER AGAIN!

Worst insurance company ever. No communication then when u call they lie to u. In my case I have been told about 10 times different dates for my claim an past from pilar to post. 3 months now and still not sorted my issue all I have been told for the last 3 weeks now is ur payment is waiting to be validated and authorised and I can't get my bike back till it has been. I have emails saying that this would been done 3 weeks ago that week an when ye phone still nothing just past about even more. Would not recommend to any1

You'll notice all the positive reviews of MCE are from individuals that have simply purchased a policy. Look at anyone who has had to claim and the true picture emerges. I have insured numerous times with MCE. Price competitive, easy to set up, so up until the point of an insurance claim, ignorance of what lies beneath. I was rear-ended by an agricultural vehicle. I managed to stay on the bike, but the rear of my bike was damaged, including a twisted subframe. The 3rd party admitted liability. Having not been in this situation before, I reported it to MCE. That phone call cost me £18.53 on their premium rate number. They were very keen to get my KTM Superduke R collected and taken to their 'repair centre' in Northampton. I could not choose a KTM dealer to repair it. It could only be done by them. They were also falling over themselves to provide a loan bike. All arranged without any actual information of the procedure or timescale, even though a straight forward uncontested 3rd party claim. They really pushed their 'partner' personal injury lawyers, Fletchers. They were on me like a rabid dog, bombarding me with phone calls and emails. Still, where there's blame, there's a claim and some big money to be made. The day before the collection of my bike was booked for, I get a call from the 3rd party's insurer, NFU Mutual advising me that their client has admitted liability and could they help get my bike repaired? So what do I do? I've never had any dealings with NFU and surely MCE are more likely to look after my best interests, right? So I decline, but they offer their contact details if I need any help. So, MCE van turns up and unloads a snotty, scraped-up, corroded 2010 Z1000 fully sticked up in MCE/Big Ed branding. I'm simply asked for a signature to take my bike away and a signature for the 'hire agreement terms & conditions' for the loaner. I insisted that I read said terms, which were conveniently 'in the van'. Upon reading, I was signing a hire agreement of £105 a day. Yes. One hundred and five pounds for every single day that I am in possession of what is no more than £3000 of bike. Alarm bells start ringing. The delivery guy plays dumb. He can't tell me anything. I'm feeling uncomfortable about the whole thing. I'm about to wave my bike good bye without any control over it at all and MCE are racking up £730 a week, in the meantime. So I decline to get involved. I send the van and loan bike away after calling NFU back, who are incredibly helpful and ask me where I would like the bike repaired and could they arrange for either a loan bike or car? The difference in customer focus and service could not be more different. Except, I'm not NFU's customer! They have a 65 plate, 300 mile 5 door hatchback on my drive that afternoon. Now I've effectively washed my hands of 'smoke & mirrors' MCE, they see their profit opportunity slipping away and start bombarding me with calls from random individuals wanting to check that I'm now dealing direct with the 3rd party insurer. Fletchers are still chasing me by email and send me a claim form in the post. One of their people call me asking why they have not received claim details. When I tell them I won't be claiming, they are speechless. Why, they ask? Because I have not been injured, I reply. The inference was that it was almost irrelevant. I should claim anyway. So in conclusion, MCE only works for MCE. Plain & simple. Money drives it all. They do not give a toss about what's best for their customer, just to wring every last drop of profit out of the situation. Once the claim is settled, I will cancel my policy withem and never, ever deal with them as long as I live.

Am having exactly the same problems as earlier posts in addition they apparently lost the bike for 6 weeks. they have been taking money for a excess insurance policy which I'm sure is probably a scam in the first place...then they denied that I had this and sent me a payment schedule which shows that I'm paying £10 less than I actually am and my bank statements prove this! (can't say if this is a doctored certificate or a genuine admin error) but anyway they are refusing to pay out against it...when you phone you get lie after lie but can't actually speak to the person dealing directly with it...worst company ever dealt with been going on since July and is now with the ombudsman who unfortunately doesn't seem to be doing a lot of onbudsmaning...got 7 days before I take them to court....should look at a class action I reckon

By far the worst insurance company I have ever dealt with. My bike was written off in an arson attack in July. Since then I have been fed one lie after another from MCE regarding a settlement pay out. They always have an excuse and will not allow you to speak directly to the payments team or a manager. My case has now been passed to a solicitor. Whatever you do, go with another company, MCE may be the biggest and the cheapest but are the worst.

NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. I WISH I HAD READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE INSURING MY BIKE WITH MCE. MY BIKE WAS STOLEN IN JUNE. IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT THEM, AND THEN YOU WILL WAIT DAYS/WEEKS FOR THEM TO GET BACK TO YOU. THEY WILL TRY EVERY TACTIC THEY CAN THINK OFF TO DELAY ANY PAYMENT. BRITISH SUPERBIKE GUY'S YOU SHOULD BE EMBARASSED TO HAVE YOUR NAME ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPANY. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS I HAVE NOW GOT TO INVOLVE THE INSURANCE OMBUDSMAN AND MY SOLICITORS TO TRY AND GET MY (LEGITIMATE) CLAIM PAID. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!! DEL.
