“Mess up with email address on your rubbish database. Matilda Skinner is no expert. Failed to ring at promised time just before Saturday before Christmas! Then she went on leave until after the Christmas Bank Holidays leaving me and my policy in right limbo!! So, so called policy expert lost over 6 months of my business and will probably lose another 12 months business when I inform my brother in law whom I recommended a few days ago to use your so call expert company. Yes that's right- He'll probably cancel with you when I see him over Christmas!,,”

“I am insured with Policy Expert and at the time of getting a quote i could not fault them nice experienced staff very helpful. Given a good quote so i paid in full-happy. Sadly this is not the same when i came to claim for water damage to my bathroom. I had to pay a company £500.00 pounds to find where the leak was coming from, Then a plumber was sent by the company to remove the shower tray in the process of doing this the walls were damaged and the shower tray broken, Assessor came to assess stated that as this was my only bathroom we may need to move out for a fortnight till work commenced there would be a company come out to remove the damp plaster and de-humidifiers left to dry out the walls this has not happened yet update today is it will be next week this is three weeks with out bathroom. We have asked to speak to a supervisor twice and both times been told they are not available. SO Insurer buyer beware they may not be as nice and as helpful as you are lead to believe.”

“I would not recommend policy expert. Poor claims management from trinity claims. I have had a water leak under the concrete kitchen floor. The floor has sunk. Registers my claim with trinity claims and have no information from the structural engineers report or the loss adsuster When I call I never get to speak to my claims handler. That person changes on a weekly basis. Don't get a call back or reply to my email. For a company that manages claims they are quite poor at maninging claims. I wouldn't recommend policy expert or there 3rd party claims handling service. Trinity claims made me an offer on Monday. Spoke to them on the Wednesday and they dropped the offer by £2000 and tryed to say to me that they didn't offer me that price. Well these calls are recorded lets check the phone records. I don't make mistakes when it comes to money. Trinity claims are an absolute joke.”

Good afternoon, Thanks for leaving us a review. I am really sorry to hear that you've not been happy with the way that your claim has been dealt with. This is certainly not the type of practice we condone, especially during an already difficult time for you. I have looked into things and can see that a complaint has already been raised on your behalf, this issue is therefore being looked into for you already. I have advised our complaints department of your latest comments, someone will be in touch shortly. If there is anything else we can assist you with in the meantime, please call us on 0330 0600 632. Thanks, Hannah.

“First claim in 20 years. Couldn't even find my claim. Took 2 weeks to reach a decision, even though they had assured me they would rush it through because the claim seriously affected my disabled wife. Had to constantly chase them up, then they turned down the claim despite plumbers report the fact that despite their refusal I know the claim is legitimate. Everything is fine until you make a claim. Read claim reviews! I couldn't agree more with the review below who stated "This is a disgrace of a company". AVOID - USELESS”

“I was going to go with another Insurance company but was talked into staying and was given a new quote and was told that I would be able to have the same quote for two years. I was told they would take the new amount on 30/10/17. They took the old amount on 27/10/17 and when I phoned to complain was told the best they could do was to keep the old policy quote and they would send me a cheque for £20 as compensation but also was told they couldn't even give me the original quote next year. I had to take the offer this year as I felt it was too late to start shopping around for this year but because of the terrible service I will not be renewing again next year.”

Good morning, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear this. I have looked into things for you and can see that you do have a two year fixed price, this means that next year, your renewal will be the exact same price. I can also see that a complaint has already been raised for you and therefore this matter will be investigated for you and someone will be in touch shortly. If there is anything we can help you with in the meantime, please do not hesitate to get in touch on 0330 0600 632. Thanks, Hannah

“Did not make any claims on house insurance, despite this they put my premium up by nearly £5 this year and removed Home emergency cover from my policy! And even though I’ve cancelled it yesterday I am getting emails this morning saying thank you for your purchase from policy expert!”

Good morning, Thank you for your review. I am sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced. I have tried to contact you today to discuss this further but unfortunately, you were unavailable. When your policy is in the renewal period (30 days before the renewal date) you will receive reminders, this gives our customers time to advise whether they would like to cancel or renew their policy. If we have not heard from you 5 days before the renewal date, the policy will automatically renew, this is to ensure you are covered if there is a payment issue. I have emailed you explaining the Home Emergency cover in more detail. If you would like to discuss this over the phone, please respond back to the email with a convenient time and telephone number and I will get back to you right away. Thanks Nisha

“My husband had £4000 of camera equipment stolen from the boot of his car. We realised that the terms of the cover would only allow us to claim £1000 but it was better than nothing --- WRONG ! - Because the thieves had entered the locked car without causing any damage they refused to pay out anything at all. Later the same year we had a pane of conservatory glass that shattered. It took over a month before we got any contact at all, and then was delayed further because of the tinted film that had been applied to the glass. We were asked to provide proof of the type of film applied even though they were aware that the conservatory had not been bought new by us. Once I said that was impossible as I hadn't been the one to buy the film they said they would have to investigate the claim further. I know people say you get what you pay for, but this company are appalling and I would never recommend them to anyone, not will I ever use them again.”

Good afternoon, thanks for your review. I have spoken with your claims team just now regarding this in order to get a better understanding of what's happened here. I have also tried to give you a call to explain things further, but been unable to get in touch. I have therefore sent you an email regarding this. Thanks, Hannah

“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.”

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 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.
