I have had an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience with Acorn Insurance, which I feel compelled to share. My car has been in the garage for a gearbox failure since the 26th of August, 2024, and I got it back on the 6th of September. Unfortunately, I had to return it to the garage on Thursday morning due to further issues. During this time, the garage had been driving the car and speeding on multiple occasions, which led to two black box speed warnings on my insurance. To clarify that I wasn’t driving during those dates (from 26/08/2024 to 06/09/2024), I went to my car dealership to request a formal letter on headed paper. Although they couldn’t provide a physical letter, they sent me an email confirming that the car was not in my possession during that period. However, Acorn Insurance dismissed this email, stating that "anyone could fake an email," despite the fact it came from a VAT-registered garage and a reputable dealership. To make matters worse, Acorn also refused to accept the email because the garage had been speeding in residential areas. This is despite the fact that the black box data clearly shows that the car was parked in a locked garage forecourt awaiting repairs during those times. I sent this information to Acorn Insurance on the 9th of September and did not receive any response until Friday, 13th of September. When they finally called, it was just 20 minutes before their offices closed. To my surprise, they gave me a cancellation notice that takes effect in 7 days. With only 5 minutes left before they closed, I was unable to do anything to resolve the issue, which was incredibly stressful as I am only three months away from earning a year’s No Claims Discount. I believe the way I have been treated by Acorn Insurance is completely unacceptable. From dismissing legitimate evidence to their delayed and unhelpful response, this has been a nightmare. If the issue is not resolved by Monday at 5 PM, I will be escalating my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman. Read more Read less
