“Would give 0 stars if I could. I’ve been a loyal customer for many years. I cancelled a contents insurance policy that has been active for over one year because I moved out the property and into a new one. I had a couple of weeks where I was still renting and there was overlap with the house bought. During this time I took out another policy with them for the second house. When I cancelled the first one, they said there was a £30 cancellation fee and I asked them to waive it since I had already taken out another policy with them (which was higher value as buildings + contents). They said they wouldn’t as I arranged it through a third party aggregator! I pointed out the loyalty I had to them and that this would affect my decision to renew. The “senior customer solutions and support specialist” then accused me of blackmail. Absolutely appalling way to treat a customer and certainly will never use them again.”

Hello, Thanks for your feedback, we're really sorry to hear about your experience and to see that the cancellation fee has caused some frustration. I appreciate why especially in the circumstances of a new policy being purchased. We can certainly feed this back to the relevant team. I regret that you didn't get the service you needed from the advisor. We would like to feed this back to the advisor's team leader with the intention of improving how they handle calls of this nature going forward. If you would like this to be done, please contact us and provide the policy reference number so we can arrange this. ~Theo, Social Media Team

Hello Chris, I'm sorry to read about the increase in price and I appreciate the frustration this would have caused. I'm afraid that the start date is a factor that can impact the cost of your cover. I regret that on this occasion it was an increase and thank you for insuring with us despite this being the case. ~Theo, Social Media Team
