Review of the Aviva, Home Insurance:

Bas Advice Given

Has home insurance with them and my laptop got knocked off the kitchen table onto the hard floor. I contacted them and the person I spoke too stated that I didn't have the laptop insured for outside the home, I stated it wasn't outside the home when the accident happened, but he said I couldn't claim. I called them the next day to query the previous call as I was angry and stated the same issue that I had and they stated that it was covered in the home!!! Never take their word as final as I knew I was covered. Reviewed on: 12th September 2016

Untrustworthy. Uncaring. Appalling.

Had a month of hell with Aviva Home Insurance. Their contradictory advice and comments necessitated hours on the phone every single day for over 3 weeks. They will find excuse after excuse to decline your came. The Complaints Dept are as bad as the Claims Dept and refuse to answer your complaints, even when put in writing. They simply do not care about an elderly disabled pensioner, who has a leak in her roof. Everything is put down to wear and tear, no point paying over £800 a year for insurance. Quite frankly the worst treatment ever, by an untrustworthy company. Do not insure with Aviva. It is far too stressful and a waste of money. Reviewed on: 6th November 2024

Not good company

Aviva company is very bad for home insurance, quickly take the money but when you claim is so much problems and excuses for doing the job is so much assole Reviewed on: 5th November 2024

Disgraceful treatment from Home Claims

We put a claim in for a kitchen roof that leaked owing to the record amount of rainfall in Sept 2024. Originally they agreed there was enough rainfall to call it a 'wet storm' and put the claim to the next stage. They then sent a Surveyor out and on his arrival he said the claim will not be put through, this was before he even inspected the roof. He said there was not enough wind! Then, without permission and asking him not to, he climbed on the roof, and then caused more damage. Then said it was all wear and tear. We were on the phone 18 consecutive work days, for hours and hours each day, to be told different reasons for declining the claim. Over 25 hours of calls. They also admitted no liability for the extra damage caused by someone they sent out. The Managers at Claims failed call backs for over a week and when they eventually did call they denied everything, saying somethings didn't actually happen despite us having witnesses. This is the home of a rece tly widowed, very elderly, vulnerable and disabled person. The Claims Dept showed absolutely no compassion or care whatsoever. After we made an official complaint about it all, the Claims Complaint team almost blamed us for wasting their time! The entire thing was a quite horrific experience, and extremely stressful, day after day. I have to say that Customer Services were very nice, and Mangers in that Dept called it "unacceptable" and "unbelievable". Unfortunately they have no say in the Claims Dept.! Do not insure with this company as they will try anything to decline a claim if it involves any sort of roof leak. We also believe they are untrustworthy Reviewed on: 26th October 2024
