Found a better price online after taking out policy… my policy hadn’t even started… cancelled 3 days before. They charges me £30 cancellation within 14 days ‘cooling off period’ apparently this was discounted from a normal amount of £60! I will not EVER be using policy expert again! This is very poor customer service!

Hi Hannah, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and I am sorry to hear you opted to cancel your policy. Our terms and conditions, including our fees and charges, are disclosed both online and over the telephone prior to purchase. These must be accepted before you can proceed with your purchase of the insurance policy. When cancelling a policy within the cooling off period, which begins at the point your purchase your policy, we charge a £30.00 cancellation fee. Out with the cooling off period, we charge a £60.00 cancellation fee. I trust this has helped with any concerns you may have however, if you wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I am available via email at motorreviews@policyexpert.co.uk. Thanks, Mick.

I took out a policy on a car I was due to buy this weekend. I didn’t end up buying the car so called to cancel the policy on day 2. I was told there was a £30 admin fee to cancel and that the 14 days is only to avoid ANOTHER £30 fee. That was not clear at all on the site or when I purchased or I would not have done so. Very very disappointing and terrible customer service. Will never use them again.

Don't sign up! Look out for hidden admin fees if you change your address because you'll be penalised for it. I used this company for car insurance. The renewal date approached and they wanted to increase the premium to a further £20 a month. Not only that they take the premium out of your bank account without consent'. Steer clear. Overpriced and poor customer service! Shop around after your first year. I managed to get the same policy with another company for just £22 a month. Policy expert wanted £55! Glad I walked away. Be warned.

I dont understand how you calculate the yearly premium for a house. My last year policy going to finish in a month and I have choose Policy expert home insurence through a comparison site which cost me 122 pounds. Now policy expert send me a renewal notification to renew home insurence for 174 pounds. Why same policy show diffrent charges? 122 and 174.? Policy expert trying to charge me more than last year. I am not happy with your quote. You arw always welcome to contact me to clear this douts.Let me see if I could find a better deal online. Thanks for your service last year.

Good Evening Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Please be assured that we will always do our best to provide you with a competitive quote at renewal. I have compared both of your quotes to distinguish the difference between the renewal and the new policy. I have found that last year you had opted for additional cover which is included in the renewal; this would have contributed to the quote being higher. A premium increase can also be affected by things such as general inflation, and changes in your circumstances, or our underwriting criteria. However, our renewals team are always at hand to go through any offers that may be available to you at point of renewal. However, I'm pleased to see that you have managed to find a premium and cover that you are happy with and if you do wish to discuss things further or if there is anything else I can help you with, please contact me directly. I am available via phone or you can email me at homereviews@policyexpert.co.uk and mark for my attention. Thanks, Nisha

We have just cancelled our policy. Charged us £30 to change the car (admin fee), then we decided to go elsewhere for a much more competitive quote and found you wanted £60 more just to cancel the policy!!!!! YES, it must be in the original documentation that you charge £60 to cancel, but stupidly I missed that! After a moan, you reduced it to £30 because we paid £30 a few weeks back when we changed cars. A rip-off charge when a few keystrokes and an email are all that is required. AND, I just looked, the new insurer makes no admin charges whatsoever!

Terrible service and Cover (Home Emergency) telephoned to report a leak from my shower which was coming through my living room light and was told by the call handler that as it was not a clearly visible or obvious leak it was not covered. All she could do was arrange for a plumber to attend and turn the stopcock off, which I could do myself. The call handler was not empathetic to my situation but rather dismissive. Very poor customer service!

I had to end the quote process for home cover as the existence of some tools of my trade in my garage by the house meant this company would not cover me. Even though the tools are covered under a separate business policy. It then transpired that they claimed GDPR regulations make them keep my details on file for 10 years. AND YET, other insurers only keep them for 3 years. I wonder why the difference.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for raising your feedback with us. Even if the items are insured elsewhere, if equipment used for business purposes is kept at the proposed insured property, it does need to be highlighted on our quotes accordingly. If they are not, this could make the policy invalid. We have a duty of care to ensure that you take out an appropriate insurance policy for all of your contents and the buildings within your property boundary. I can only apologise that our policy was not suitable for you this year. When we have only provided customers with a quote, we will retain their personal data for 10 years from the date we obtained it for regulatory and fraud prevention purposes, and to allow any complaints to be managed. The 10-year span is due to our application for insurance asking historic questions about the property from the past 10 years. I hope this resolves things for you, but if you wish to discuss this any further, please do not hesitate to contact me at homereviews@policyexpert.co.uk. Thanks, Jasmine

Good Afternoon Mr Heyward Thank you for your review. We automatically renew policies (and take payment) 3-5 days before the renewal date to ensure that the payment is successful. This is also to make sure that we do not leave our customers without cover unknowingly in case there are any issues with processing the payment. However, I do apologise for any inconvenience this has caused you. As you have mentioned that you had contacted us to cancel your policy, I would like to investigate things further and arrange for the policy to be cancelled for you.

This is a review about Home Emergency Plus I had water coming through my ,living room ceiling and rang at 645 am to report this I had to ring again at 945 am 11 am and 1245 pm Long story short eventually a Drainage Engineer attended but said he couldn't do anything because I needed a plumber. I was told a plumber would come, no plumber came and I was eventually told that the leak was not covered. I had to phone my own plumber at a significant cost as you can imagine on a Saturday afternoon who found the leak and repaired it with in an hour so in summary my Emergency Plus cover took a total of 8 hrs to finally be told that you could not do anything complete waste of time and money and i will NOT be renewing this policy nor would I recommend it to anyone this out

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. When you purchase a policy online or over the phone with us, before anything is set up, we make you aware that Policy Expert is registered as a Credit Broker with the Financial Conduct Authority, and we arrange monthly payments with the lender Premium Credit. As Premium Credit are a regulated company, they are responsible for conducting checks before fully setting up your agreement with them. There could be various reasons that they are unable to establish an agreement with you, but I appreciate that this must be inconvenient. I must just stress that Premium Credit do need to ensure that they are lending responsibly and adhering to regulatory requirements. If you would like for us to look into this in more detail, we would be happy to. Please just forward your details to me at homereviews@policyexpert.co.uk. Be sure to highlight your email for my attention! Thanks, Jasmine

I know cowboy insurance comapnies are not new, but "if it's your gutter causing the leak, and the surveyor says that, we won't pay out, but we will log this as a claim to put your premium up." Never claimed under home insurance in 20 years. Every stereotype confirmed.

Good Evening Mr Lock Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We have spoken with Trinity claims who have reviewed the call you had with the agent this morning. In the conversation, you had advised that you did not want to make a claim for the internal damage the leak had caused and wanted to claim for the replacement of the guttering. You were provided with the cover levels under your policy and the agent had gone on to explain that you may not be covered for what you had described during the call, however, they were willing to send out a surveyor to determine the cause of the damage. You had confirmed that you did not want to proceed with the claim. There was no mention of your claim being declined in the call. Furthermore, we do have a duty of care to inform all our customers of any implications that may occur when making a claim which is why we would inform you that your premium will increase at renewal before you make a claim. If you wish to discuss things further or if there is anything else I can help you with, please contact me directly. I am available via phone or you can email me at ask@policyexpert.co.uk.
