“Keep getting calls from them block them on one number they ring on another now ringing from my area code its pure harassment on their end they ring everyday wish i wud never of looked into them for a quote”
“Harassing calls from numerous mobile numbers block they call off a new one!!! 8 or 9 calls a day for 12 hours - wouldn’t deal with this company now ever it’s harrassment”
“The worst most rudest company I have ever dealt with non stop calls constantly blocking different numbers. Answered today months after my initial enquiry told them ai was no longer interested to then be told don’t want to look after your kids do you not, horrible vile little man steer well clear from this company”
“As with all the other reviews, spoke to an advisor, got a quote by email (after deflecting push from agent to buy immediately), since when have been bombarded with daily calls from multiple numbers (all now blocked!). Wish I'd never contacted them in the first place. Have called them and asked them to stop calling, we'll see if that has any impact. Will not now consider buying from them, if this is their approach to customer experience.
Note -the company is Candid Insurance, they operate as Polly, Tom, Winston and Anorak, so avoid them all!”
“A simple enquiry results in full on harassment! And you get better deals from other companies! Avoid at all costs, don’t even make the enquiry with them!”
“Since putting my details for life insurance Ive had nothing but cold call from mobiles. 4 times a day in 6 weeks. They sell your details over. AVOID POLLY”
“Has been calling on multiple numbers constantly for 2 months I’ve blocked 15 numbers yet they just call on different ones I have rejected 8 calls today and the last one just got on my last nerve I answered and got hit with the most cocky arrogant bloke I’ve ever witnessed in my life. Apparently the office is based in Bristol yet as a Bristolian I’ve never spoken to one yet so find that hard to believe the bloke or boy I spoke to was apparently from Sunderland so that should narrow it down. As a business owner my self if I had someone working for me like that I would be ashamed. If u have insurance from polly I’d cancel it. Not a company if they employ people like that. Disgusting. As a person who’s suffered abuse by the hands of a man like that it was triggering. Calls are recorded so you’ll hear the trigger in my voice with the arrogance. And the way I reacted. AVOID AVOID AVOID”
“Harassed me none stop over 4 days on multiple different phone numbers, which I kept blocking. They were told twice I wasn't interested as had sorted insurance through someone else. Now I'm getting calls 4+ times per day from random numbers so I am sure they have sold my details on and I am seriously considering changing my mobile number now. AVOID!!!”
“I only wanted to get a quote sent via email or text message, but instead got hassled with phone calls and pushed to sign up when all I wanted was a quote. Ended up just trying to ignore phonecalls but they rang on different numbers from different areas, one being from my area (and at the time I was waiting for an important phonecall so I answered thinking it was the call I was expecting), no it was Polly again trying to push me to do the application 7 months onwards.
Also I'm certain they sold my number because I've been getting spam caller after spam caller since doing the application.”
“Wanted just a quote initially via email or similar. I stead all I got was a lot of calls from various numbers including mobiles which continued even after I asked not to be contacted. On one time when I picked up I got a rude salesmen who instead of was annoyed I hadn't picked up his other various calls and then was annoyed I said it wasn't a good time. He then put the phone down on me (great way to earn commission that!). Much better companies out there who will be polite and make it easy for you and not guilt trip you into taking out life cover”
“Sells your information on to 3rd parties without prior permission, non stop harass you with calls from mobile phones before 9am- all which are highly illegal and break several date information and GDPR laws.
Guess what?- STILL BOT GOT A QUOTE FROM THEM!
My advice would be don’t touch polly.co.uk with a barge poll because they will not play by the law.”
