Very poor insurance company

1
I had a accident and rang my insurance haven insurance tonget the car repaired after having the car for 3 weeks theybdecided to write it off and take the courtesy car back. I am a keybworker and with covid 19 not able to get to work as dont have a car. They haven't tried to understand or be helpful in this matter. Other insurance companies are reducing the premiums and offering courtesy cars to their clients until the end of the pandemic. Haven on other hand are not. Also they will not let me buy the car back. AVOID AT ALL COST GUYS Reviewed on: 1st May 2020

Personally I would avoid this company.

Absolute shambles of a company. Staff rude and unhelpful. Glad I didn’t take a policy with them if that’s how they treat potential customers. Reviewed on: 24th April 2019

no care for customers

1
if i could give zero stars i would. Acorn casually cancelled a policy that was taken out and paid for online. They left a retired lady to drive a car with no insurance. When I called and asked why they didn't call to ask for what ever documents they needed, a lady casually told me that they are in inbound call centre and can not make out going calls. POOR SERVICE. NO CARE FOR CUSTOMERS WHAT SO EVER. Reviewed on: 1st February 2019
