“Utterly dreadful, underhand company to deal with from start to finish. They even tried to make leaving them hard by bombarding me with emails and letters after having been told that I would not be renewing and had already purchased insurance elsewhere. Don't bother complaining, they will just completely ignore what you say, pay basic lip service to try and make it look like they case and then whitewash the complaint handling process.”

“Really happy with policy expert think I've been with them 4 years on trot now. I always shop around with insurance and even when I've found a cheaper deal they have come up with either a cheaper deal or a product for free to keep me as a customer. It's not often I stay with the same insurers.”

“Renewed my insurance at 11:30 on Tuesday, receiving confirmation e mails shortly after. Then received two more e mails that evening saying policy cancelled. Also receiving reminder e mails to sign my credit agreement with premium Credit despite paying the amount in full on Tuesday. very disappointing service, and already regretting renewing with you.”

Posted 6 years ago

Good evening, Thanks for your review, I am so sorry to hear this has happened. The reason Premium Credit would have been contacting you is because your policy had automatically renewed as a direct debit as this was how the policy was paid for last year, I have spoken to our Payments team and they have advised that they have told Premium credit to stop contacting you as you have paid in full. Once again, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced. If there is anything else we can help you with, please call our customer services team on 03300600632. Thanks Nisha

“I have had all policy for 3 years including legal cover. I was assured that the policy covered me for what I needed and this was subsequently confirmed to my solicitor. After a claim began policy expert renaged on this and have been really unhelpful in trying to resolve the matter, blaming the mistake on a junior member of staff and refusing to honour what we were told. I will be taking my business elsewhere”

Good evening, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry to hear that this has happened. We are always keen to put things right if we get something wrong and I am therefore keen to look into this for you, please email ask@policyexpert.co.uk confirming your details in order for me to locate your account with us.

“I didn't agree to automatic renewal, but the policy was renewed anyway.”

Posted 6 years ago

Good morning, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that your home insurance policy has renewed when you did not want this to happen. We do contact you 30 days prior to your renewal date and confirm if we will automatically renew the policy or not. At this time, you are able to 'opt out' of this. I have sent an email to you to get this matter resolved, please respond directly to that in order for us to get this sorted for you. Thanks, Hannah.

“I FILLED IN A QUESTIONAIRRE FOR A CHANCE TO WIN £250 VOUCHERS ( NOT EXPECTING TO WIN ) ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I'VE GOT TO THEN FILL ANOTHER ONE IN TO ENTER THE COMPETITION. NOT GOOD!!”

Posted 6 years ago

Good morning, Thank you for your review. When we offer you the chance to win £250 worth of vouchers for taking our survey, we only have one survey for you to take. I am therefore unsure what you are referring to when you say you had to fill in two. I apologise if there has been any confusion, but would like to reassure you that if you have filled out the questionnaire, and then emailed us your details as it requests, you will be entered to the competition and in with a chance of winning. If you wish to discuss this further, please call us on 0330 0600 632 or email us at ask@policyexpert.co.uk. Thanks, Hannah.

“1st, Great price for Home & Buildings Insurnace. Hasle free when buying a policy. 2nd, Absolutely the most shocking customer service I have ever dealt with. When claiming for a burst water pipe,they use a 3rd party company to deal with claims,there cost for phone calls is horrendous,when ringing they answer automatic then leave you on hold for 15 minutes,then pass you around like a ping pong ball before being dealt with by the correct department. When allocated a claims handler they don't even give you the ext number so you can call back more efficiently. Trying to deal with a issue with my home has been so stressful,I have had to pay for the repairs myself as I'm still awaiting a phone call from there claims department. I strongly suggest buying Insurance from a major long lasting company. This company should not be allowed to trade in my strong opinion. I will be taking this company to small claims court for my money back for my repairs. Still awaiting the claims handler to contact me after 3 weeks. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Rude,incompetent,cow boy's!!! PAY THE EXTRA FOR GOOD SERVICE.”

“Please do not purchase home insurance from this company they are unprofessional, intimidating, unreasonable and fradulent. Having taken out cover with this company something I have come to majorly regret, I have since suffered with a house falling apart, a stay in hospital due to stress and an interview like a criminal all down to a leak in my home which unfortunately I obviously couldn't control (hence why you taken precautionary measures and put home insurance in place for). This company have tried everything in their power to reject my claim, for no apparent reason and they have left me living in unsafe living conditions and a high level of asbestos... This is an ongoing thing of nearly 4 months, I wish I had read the reviews before committing myself to this disgusting company!”

“Did not need to make a claim, so unable to comment on that part of the service. Did call them to cancel auto renewal and received a hard sell to renew my policy. The person who took the call was only interested in getting me to renew my policy, in the end he just put the phone down on me. Not good customer service, will not be using them again.”

Posted 7 years ago

Good afternoon, Thank you for leaving us a review. I am sorry to hear that you received unsatisfactory service when trying to cancel your renewal. This is not the kind of behaviour we condone and I am keen to look into this for you. Please either email ask@policyexpert.co.uk (raising your email FAO Hannah Gregory) or call our customer service team on 0330 0600 632 (and ask for me directly). Once you have provided me with your policy/account information, we will investigate this further. Regards - Hannah.

“Also trying to make a claim. Also first one ever. Service is truly appalling (deliberately?) I can't even get a Claim Number allocated after 2.5 weeks of hassle. After sending lots of requested photos of the damage, no one wants to take responsibility. Promised return calls don't happen. Emails unacknowledged & unanswered. Request to speak to a manager? "they're all in a meeting". The "product" these people sell appears to be worthless. Next stop "Which?" then Ombudsman.”

Good afternoon, Thank you for leaving a review and for bringing this to our attention. I sincerely apologise for the way your claim has been handled. This is not the kind of service we aim to offer. I am keen to look into this further for you, however, I am currently unable to locate a policy for you with the details provided. Please either send an email to ask@policyexpert.co.uk or call our customer service team on 0330 0600 632 and confirm your details in order for us to investigate this matter further. Regards - Hannah.

“I had to make a claim with Policy expert in January 2015. It took over nine months to settle and only then because I put a formal complaint into the financial ombudsman (we got compensated for the way our case had been handled). The claims handler from policy expert was the rudest most ignorant person I have ever dealt with and called me a liar....after my complaints he was taken off the case.... They are great and cheap when you take out a policy but be careful.....if you have to claim read all the negative reviews.....it ain't worth it to save a few pounds if you get a company that will try anything to avoid having to pay out..”

“Absolutely Shocking Service – If you want your property to be insured then don’t go with Policy Expert. Setting up the policy is all very smooth but once they have your money - forget it. We had a burst pipe where the pipe comes into the house and the water was flooding into the cavity wall at the front of the house and exiting from at the back of the house causing a large puddle behind the house. This wasn’t a small leak; the pipe had ruptured. I called the Home Emergency number and found that this wasn’t Policy Expert but a sub-contractor called LIM who very quickly told me I wasn’t covered as no damage was being caused on the inside of the house. They told me to call the home and contents number, which I did and was passed to another sub-contractor called Trinity. They promptly told me to phone the home emergency again, which I did, and the home emergency promptly told me to phone home and contents again. Here we have two sub-contractors batting work off each other with the customer in the middle. After some more ping pong between these sub-contractors Trinity said they would send someone to assess and 4 days later a sub-sub-contractor turned up. They had a 2-minute inspection, told me that they would write their report and send it in. He then told me if the claim was unsuccessful then he could come back and fix it for cash and left me his number. A week passed and I heard nothing, so I phoned again and Trinity told me that they hadn’t received the report yet! A few hours later I called again and the report had miraculously appeared and they told me that I wasn’t covered for the leak because I had a new boiler fitted a month previously. The new boiler was fitted in the back of the house but the pipe had ruptured at the front of the house?? Apparently the sub-sub-contractors report (who offered to do the job for cash if the claim was rejected) blamed the new boiler at the back of the house for a ruptured pipe at the front. WHAT A JOKE Policy Expert! The moral of the story is, if you have a new appliance fitted then you won’t be covered by this policy. They will find any and every excuse not to pay, you may be ping ponged between sub-contractors who really don’t want to take the work on themselves and you will end up paying to have the work done yourself. On top of this, the number you have to call is ‘Special Service’ so you will pay a premium while you are on hold with them.”

“this company is appalling they told me i had to pay an automatic £650.00 excess when any water leakage is involved, i had a leak from the hot water pipe under the bath, and they didn't want to know, i was also told that they do not cover any plumbing costs only water damage to carpets or tiles, when i complained this was not mentioned on taking out the policy or any policy documents, i was informed that they are only a small risk insurance company, no mention of this on any paperwork either. i paid for the repair myself which cost £150.00 but because i made a call to the claims department, even though i closed the claim down with out making any claim to this or any other company it is known as a call of interest and wiped out all my no claims protection, so please think very closely and check policy expert out yourself , as my insurance policy isn't worth the paper it is written on,”
