Please everyone who has been treated unfairly by this company. You can call financial ombudsman to make a complaint. The more complain we all make. We will get our money back. They are thieves and need to be brought to justice!!

Atrocious They are an INSURANCE BROKERS not an insurance company which just means they're a sales team trying to make a quick buck. You'll end up paying twice the amount that you originally paid for, when you cotton on to their scam they won't let you cancel the contract and make up load of costs that you apparently have to pay and start threatening you with bailiffs. Avoid like the plague! Very stressful experience!

We had home & buildings cover with The Policy Shop for many years and were very happy with them, paying about £300pa. This year, the renewal came from Insurance Choice (I assume they bought the previous provider) at £450! I tried twice to ring their renewals team, both times all handlers are busy and we will call you back (they didn't). Reluctantly, went back to the Comparison sites and got the same cover for £210. Their greed has cost them our business.

They provided a very competitive quote for the first year; then the premium for the 2nd year was two and one half times that for the first year so I went elsewhere. I have no experience with how they handle claims as I have not made a claim

This company charges my son £285 for 1000 miles cannot believe it. He can't even drive up to go and see the universities he wants to go. What a rip off total joke ripping off students. To get to insurance we said were selling the car and said they want £900. WHAT A JOKE. THE CARS NOT WORTH £900.

DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY! They will rip you off. As a teenager, I expect my car insurance to be high so when I got a Peugeot 307 estate insured for £2100, I expected it. But then I moved from Skegness to Grimsby where I had disclose my address due to having to have a black box. The woman on the phone was obnoxious and sarcastic. I told her my new address and she made me wait 5 minutes for a price. I expected a simple admin fee. But, I repeat BUT. It was £500 extra! I told her that it must be a joke? No, it was not. I had no choice but not pay this as a home career who relies on her car. I did ask whether I could cancel my policy. She said because I pay monthly, (which was approxiamtely £157.something which turned into £217.50 a month), that I would have cancellation costs as well as having to pay the rest of the policy off anyway. Well, that doesn’t give you much choice. You’re stuck in a no win zone. Now I’m finally moving into my own home in Christmas and I bet it will go up even more, that will be a lovely Christmas present. Thank you MyPolicy for poor communication, lying advertisements and extortionate prices. You make driving so enjoyable.

Customer service is shocking, 20 minute queue for calls is normal and you often get cut off and have to start again. Wouldn't reccommend
