I contacted Quote line to take advantage of the insurance I had with them. I was referred to Arc Legal as this was a consumer matter. (Another bunch of incompetents) When things started going wrong with ARC Legal, another story. I went back to Quote line and raised the problems with them. Initially they were stand offish and really didn't seem to care very much but after keeping onto them they have taken a completely different approach and decided that they couldn’t care less. After persisting with the first line incompetents it was referred to someone who declared they were the complaints manager “Sidrah Malik”, She listened to the saga, said all the right things but I later found out that in the first instance she wasn’t the complaints manager and in the second instance did absolutely nothing to help at all. In fact I couldn’t even find any evidence at all that she had assisted with the problems with Arc Legal at all. I believe I was deliberately lied too. After doing some research about the company I found out that “Matthew Eadie” Was the Customer Service Manager. When I finially got to speak with him, I thought I’d had what seemed to be a reasonable conversation. He pledged to look into the matter and come back to me within a couple of days. More than a week later he failed to keep his promise and hadn’t called me with the promised update. Instead he wrote to me dusting down his shoulders and claiming that it was all down to the underwriters to make a decision and nothing to do with them as the broker. I spoke with Towergate the insurers and they most definitely stated in very clear terms it was the broker who was responsible. I also spoke with the FOS and they reinforced the position. In brief Quote Line had taken my money it was their responsibility to help. Having stated to this to “Eadie” he only wrote back with more excuses. I protested again and demanded my money back as I had been told to do by my credit card company and this time “Steve Murray” wrote back and again referred me away. Ironically he is the compliance Manager. So it seems I must take the matter to the FOS to have the compliance manager educated in matters of compliance !! My Credit card company have registered the complaint and started the process of getting my money back. All this has detracted from the original claim and that isn’t being dealt with. I would urge anyone to think very carefully about using Quote Line or any of the other names they go by.

If qouteline people could come on here and write themselves a good review,,, they might. Very sweet lips and quick to line you up for the kill. When it comes to getting them at talk to you after, no chance. This company has 100 people on business startup and 5 on customer service. I cancelled straight away and went crawling back to aviva.. Yes, £300 more but worth every penny... If you guys dont believe me, get your wallets out and come to a world of pain. 10/12/2015. from someone whos heard all there queue music and spoken to the rudest people with no time for you...

Was recommended another company by Q/Direct after collapse of Enterprise. Took out policy and when I I changed vehicle I telephoned to transfer insurance I was informed that my insurer they recommended only insured for business not S.D.P that I was looking for and what I had on my previous policy. They said would have to cancel policy and pay a £45 cancellation fee (has only run for 10 days) even though they recommended them. I am also still awaiting refund from previous policy. They are a crap outfit and they should be investigated by the Ombudsmen and Insurance regulator and shut down. May be cheaper than other companies but steer well clear from them.

WORST COMPANY EVER PLEASE TAKE NOTE IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM ... DONT DO IT !!!! I have never dealt with a more incompetent company in my life I have 2 vehicles with them, they have messed up my policy & payments constantly & then have the nerve to charge me more money for their mistakes after another lengthy 50min conversation today the ( and I use this title very loosely ) customer service representative called me a liar . I'm waiting the recording of the conversations off them now which is costing me even more money & time .. Absolutely disgusting company ...

Charged me a lot more when I changed van even though it wasn't any better, charge extra for late payment even though they tried taking it out early and getting documents online is annoying!

Terrible service received. Policy wasn’t how I filled it out to be online even though it was done numerous times the same with the same cost each time. After purchasing was told the policy was different (they knew exactly) and to amend it would cost more than double the original quote. Do not touch this company they are a total scam. Reporting them to the federal trade commission.

first company they insured me with went bust before policy was finished, so lost a years no claims, made the mistake of using them again for new policy, they increased my D/D by £30 a month because of the yr less!! then want £45 admin fee to change or cancel and just pass me from pillar to post, they wont re-quote me a new policy and are very evasive over the phone, i demanded a call back and cancelled my D/D, now they only ring to tell me it needs reinstating, and no nothing of my complaint!!! useless bunch of .........

After Enterprise Insurance went under I was told by Quoteline Direct to call them to sort out new cover. Called them on a landline and was told I was no. 3 in the queue - 90 minutes later I was still no. 3. (Also called on the mobile after 1 hour and told I was no. 18!). Recorded message advised that Enterprise customers could visit the Quoteline website and there would be a section dedicated to alternative cover for Enterprise customers visited but no trace of anything to do with Enterprise. Don't use them - they don't know what they are doing. Very poor service!!

They sent me notice of cancellation for my van insurance. I paid the insurance in full and have 6 mouths left to run. I have been trying to contact them for 1 week by phone they don't even bother to put you on hold anymore they just ignore you.

After cancelling my insurance with them I had to pay just over £130 to the finance company. It doesn't show on the contract/policy. Go somewhere else to get your insurance. Also the customers service is utterly useless, it takes ages for them to pick up the phone even if you are the first one on the list. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
