Disappointed with service. Never claimed before and recently claimed for broken back door lock repair - only £125 after excess paid and so far not having much luck.

Good Morning, Thank you for leaving us a review. I'm sorry to hear that you're not entirely satisfied with the outcome of your claim. As defined by our policies, the excess is the first payment of any claim and is deducted from any cash settlements that we pay. I apologise if this was unexpected and for any inconvenience it may have caused you. I understand our claims team are waiting to hear back from you about the settlement of your claim. If you'd like me to arrange a call back for you, please contact me via email, live chat or social media. Alternatively, you can call them directly on 0330 0600 633 if you'd prefer. Otherwise, if you have any further concerns, or if there is anything else that I can help you with, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thanks, Jasmine

I was going to change this year because you were £60 dearer than other companies for the same thing, but you already took the money from my account. I have never had to use insurance for anything but it keeps on creeping up in price. I would like yourselves to review this and give me a saving

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I have had a look into things and I can see that we contacted you roughly 30 days prior to your renewal date confirming that your policy was due to renew. In this correspondence we confirmed that we will automatically renew your policy (and take payment) 3-5 days before the renewal date to ensure that the payment is successful. This also ensures that we do not leave our customers without cover unknowingly in case there are any issues with processing the payment. I am sorry to hear that your policy premium increased at renewal. Unfortunately, even if you have not claimed, an increase is sometimes unavoidable and due to many different reasons. As requested, in order for you to discuss your renewal further and review your future cover, I have arranged for somebody on our renewals team to get in touch. However if you have any further concerns you wish for me to address in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me via telephone, email, live chat or social media. I'll be more than happy to help. Thanks, Jasmine

I’m sorry to say I have to say, I wasn’t happy that Policy Expert gave me no notice of renewal until an email arrived to say they had taken the money from my bank account without notice. For this reason I would not recommend them, this is not good practice, I had no notice of amount to renew or chance to review my policy

However I am sorry to hear that your policy renewed unexpectedly, and I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Moving forward, if you wish to review your renewal or discuss your policy in any further detail, our renewals team will be happy to help - they can be contacted on 0330 0600 648. Thanks, Jasmine

Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We usually send out your renewal correspondence around 30 days prior to the expiry date of the policy, this is to allow you time to review the cover, shop around, make any changes or opt out of renewing. I am sorry to hear you were not expecting this to renew and that there was a slight increase. A premium could change as a result of claims, changes or the risk to the insurer. If there is anything you wish to discuss further please don't hesitate to contact our customer services team and we will be more than happy to assist. Thanks, Vicky

I knew my policy was coming up for renewal and was going to look and compare prices but before my renewal date Policy Expert just went and renewed it without first informing me. So whilst I will stay this time maybe next is different.

Good morning, Thank you for leaving a review. We usually send out your renewal correspondence around 30 days prior to the expiry date of the policy. This is to allow you time to review the cover, shop around, make any changes, opt out of renewing, etc. In this correspondence, if your policy is due to auto-renew, it states we take the premium around 5 days prior to the expiry date of the policy. We take payment a few days early so that if there are any issues with the processing or payment we have a few days to rectify the issue without leaving the property with no cover. I want to thank you for staying with Policy Expert for another year, if you have any queries or wish to discuss this further at all please don't hesitate to contact our customer services team by phone, text, email, live chat or social media. We will be more than happy to help. Thanks, Vicky

Rang up with some details to change to my renewal, as had got the letter through, and a Couple of things had changed very recently. Guy said he would check with underwriters and get back to me - hopefully that afternoon. Well it’s now a full week and day later and no call back. = no insurance.

Very disappointed that you do not ask if we would have liked to renew policy. Taking payment a week before policy is due seems a some what out of order. So more that a little put off from renewing next year!

Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We send out all our renewal correspondence 30 days before your policy is due to expire, detailing your premium, cover levels and the fact your policy will renew 5 days early. This is so If any payment issues arise, we have time to rectify these to prevent leaving you without cover. If you would like to discuss this further or if there is anything else we can help with please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. Thanks, Georgie

My property was damaged by a snowstorm and was horrified to learn that snow and wind damage wasn’t covered in my policy. After reading small print further I discovered frost damage wasn’t covered either, I feel it was a waste of time insuring as storm damage of any kind doesn’t seem to be covered. Definitely read the small print before you buy.

Good afternoon, Thank you for leaving us a review. I am sorry to hear that your property has recently been damaged. It is outlined in our policy wording that in order for a storm damage claim to be accepted, the winds need to reach Force 10 on the Beaufort Scale - this is common with most home insurers out there. Apologies that we are unable to assist you on this occasion, and good luck with getting things sorted. If you would like to discuss this further, or if there is anything else we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to get in touch via telephone on 0330 0600 632, via email: ask@policyexpert.co.uk or via live chat which is available on our website.

I have had the misfortune to make 3 claims in the past 3 years, the last claim for a burst pipe took 6 months to resolve, which is much too long, the previous claims also took a long time to resolve. Dealing with Trinity is a pain, having to make numerous phone calls to them to find out what was happening!

Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry to hear you have not been happy with our claims process. We will always do our best to make claiming on your policy as quick and stressfree as we possibly can. Unfortunately, depending on the nature of the claim this can sometimes affect the timescale subject to the works that need to be completed. If you would like to discuss this further or you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to reach out. Thanks, Georgie

I have found them quite unhelpful when trying to claim. The price quoted for renewal did not include the 'extras' that I previously included in my policy. When trying to stop the auto-renewal, they made it as difficult as possible to do so.

Good afternoon, Thank you for leaving us a review. I am sorry to hear that you found us unhelpful when trying to claim. If you'd like this side of things looking into further, please get in touch with us to give us some further details regarding this. Regarding your renewal, the home emergency policy is only free for the first policy year, however, this cover can be included for the following year for just £9.95. To confirm, you would have still received free legal expenses cover. I apologies if you felt that we made it difficult to opt out of automatic renewal, I'll certainly get your call listened to in order to ensure we followed the correct process here.

Good morning Pamela, Thanks for your review. Around 30 days before your policy is due to expire, we send out your renewal invite. Within this document, it states if the renewal cover is due to automatically renew, what the premium is, when payment will be taken, how to opt out, etc. We also send several renewals through the month to ensure you are aware of the process. If you need to make any changes or cancel the policy please give us a call on 0330 0600 632 and we will be more than happy to help. Thanks, Vicky

I required to make zero changes to my policy yet I had to go through the whole initial questions etc again. The reason was because my card details had changed. I spent a long time over the telephone with a gentleman who, although pleasant enough, I could not understand because he didn't seem to be able to speak intelligibly.. It may have been his regional accent but I had to get him to repeat just about everything he said because I was literally unable to comprehend him. It was a painful experience. Having disclaimers and policy aspects read out over the telephone is a terrible way of conducting legal business and to be honest I had to just say yes to things I hoped were correct because I didn't have the heart to ask the poor lad to repeat himself over and over again. I don't ever want to go through this again.

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We need to reconfirm all details to yourself over the phone to ensure the policy in place is correct and appropriate for your needs. I am sorry to hear you were unable to understand our agent over the phone, it is important that all of the information on your policy is correct so I have therefore sent you a copy of your documentation via email to read over and check this. If there is anything else I can help with please do not hesitate to respond to my email. Thanks, Georgie
