Not good

Paid £9.95 a month for 28yrs, when a claim had to be made was told would get £1.675 how's that work out. I'm sure it should be more.

Life insurance policy

I took out this policy many years ago, paying less than £2 a month. I think, in the event of a payout, it would not be a great amount as it seems to be a fixed rate -£10,000, which was a lot years ago when I took out the policy, but not worth so much ...

Easy

Wanted fixed term life insurance. Got a competitive quote from Aviva. Filled in online forms. Signed paperwork when arrived in post. Now covered for a small monthly fee. Easy.

Thieves, bandits, robbers

Bloody where shall i start, the claim analysts are charlatans, they are paid to change your whole story and lyingly will also refer to the phone calls which are supposedly recorded, if you are in a fault claim then forget this company, they wont investigate the claim thoroughly they will label you as a fraud etc and close your claim/policy down without any notice, mind you they will also keep your premiums paid, if you try and clarify yourself the claim analyst will say he dont want to know and hang up on you, the guy i spoke to was a bleeding arrogant/ignorant person, you could tell from his tone and manner that this guy was a circus clown, aviva a MAJOR STAKEHOLDER? Nope!!! aviva a MAJOR STEALER! stealing money from hard working citizens, best insurers are AXA never a trouble, AVIVA Not recommending you to even my enemies, whosoever reads this review please do yourself a massive favour and “DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AT ALL, PLEASE USE ANOTHER INSURANCE PROVIDER” ZERO RATED, 1 star rating is over generosity!!
I WANT MY MONEY

AVIVA a horror story. STAY AWAY.

For anyone that has auto insurance from Aviva Canada I strongly suggest you find a new provider and for anyone who is contemplating using them for insurance to stay well clear of them....

For anyone that has auto insurance from Aviva Canada I strongly suggest you find a new provider and for anyone who is contemplating using them for insurance to stay well clear of them.
They are a horror story and only want your money and will find any excuse to avoid payouts.
Here is my horror story.
I have had them for over 10 years as my auto insurance provider and dutifully paid the premiums on time, every time, even when I heard others had cheaper premiums with other companies.
Stupid me.
On July 2018 I was involved in an auto collision. The other driver was at fault and was charged with careless driving by the police officer. It was my bad luck that he also had Aviva insurance. I reported the accident in same day. Aviva quickly wrote off the vehicle, even though the damage did not seem that extensive, and low balled me on the payout. Less than half of what I paid 2 years prior. I argued that I had done some major repair work on it 6 months prior and should be at least partially compensated for that as well. According to Aviva that is apparently where I committed a sin. It seems we cannot question been ripped off by them. After 1 months of no definitive answers from them, in frustration I cancelled my multiple auto and property policies with Aviva. They lost a total of $6,600 annual premiums because of their unprofessional approach. And really for a mere $12,000 claim. That appeared to have been my second mistake. I believe that they thought it was now payback for cancelling my policies.
They took over 6 months to make a case that the work was not done as detailed in the receipts I provided. They put me through a phone and an in-person interrogation (the gestapo could not have done a better job). The end result was that they declined my claim including the car rental I used for 1 week after the accident. While it may be true that the auto shop cheated me on the work done in the bills they should have simply declined the receipts and maintained their original offer, low as it was. Talk about adding salt to a wound.
I have now retained a lawyer and proceeding with legal action against Aviva.
Stay away from this scam of a company.

Pension Statement Dropped Drastically

My husbands Friends Life Pension was making a steady increase each year. Aviva take over and suddenly in the December 2018 Statement. Big losses!! They are making back the money they paid to purchase Friends Life. All the usual excuses when we phoned them - the stock market - Brexit. They cannot and will not give the charges in £monetary values but only as percentages. Rip Off. Do we transfer the pension out now it has made big losses. Will the losses be worse this year?? Four years before retirement and feeling helpless.

impossible to make a damage claim because of Aviva's terms

We suffered storm damage last winter, i.e. almost a year ago. Aviva want us to get a full quote for the work before they would process the claim. In order for a company to qive us a quote, they need to erect scaffolding, as that part of the roof is inaccesible any other way. Aviva will not pay up-front for this, we can't afford to pay up-front for scafffolding (cost is over £2,000), so we are stymied.

Amazing customer service

I cannot believe the negative comments on here! I had received a renewal for home insurance from Aviva and was puzzled as I wasn't aware I had a policy with them. However I had had a bad accident on 17th Dec and my brain was fuzzy with morphine so I decided to look into it. I could find no paperwork etc for Aviva and appeared to have taken out a policy with another company in May.

I phoned to explain this and spoke to an incredibly understanding and sympathetic young lady called Courtney. After listening to my story she offered to see if her manager could give me a refund from May 2018. I was delighted to hear that s/he had agreed and a cheque would be sent!

That in itself made me think I would go to Aviva for a quote in May, but there was even more to come. Two days later I received a most beautiful bouquet by hand delivery! What a lovely surprise! And an even greater surprise was that it was sent by Aviva with lots of good wishes. I think they have a customer for life!

Lost 50% funding in one year.

My pension since 2001 has been doing well in funding growth, suddenly I logged in on my account 10.12.2018 and shockingly 50 % of investment has been gone. NO idea where, no idea what happened. At least some calculation on my online account or something would have been helpful. I regret that I didn't transfer my pension somewhere else. Its like Aviva has fed me for 13 years with giving me a joy of growth of investment and suddenly in 2 years since 2016 50% money gone. I will see if I can leave them asap.

Incompetent company caused a county court judgement against me

In may 2017 I had a minor collision where I clipped a parked car. Reported it to Aviva and they arranged for my car to be repaired . This was done and I heard no more about it until September 2018, when I suddenly received a CCJ against me from Northampton county court claiming for the damage to theother car.. Contacted Aviva and forwarded all the documents received , they said it would be dealt with. It was not settled in time and I ended up with a CCJ on my credit history.
