Appealing customer service (Membership number AXA/E9438233). More than 45-minute waiting time to get through, and when you do eventually get through, they transfer you to a different department (another 45-minute wait). It took three weeks to get a consultation refused - a system error on their side meant I did not receive notification of the refusal. The complaint was dealt with by "apologising" and offering me a voucher instead of signing off on the referral and dealing with my medical condition. I have not received customer service as appalling as this for a long time. I will be cancelling my firm's membership and moving to another provider.

Our catalytic converter was stolen from our Honda Civiv Hybrid in May 2021. Their response was prompt but the garage installed a sub standard catalytic converter which was too big and kept hitting the bumps. After complaining they removed the casing, which meant the catalytic converter was exposed to the elements. After we complained they installed another one, but this time the car was very noisy. All these took weeks. We took the car to Honda garage who said the catalytic converter does not have the silencer part and is incorrect. After months of complaining to Axa and the Ombudsman, the garage agreed to have a look again. That was a complete waste of time as the garage manager refused to acknowledge there was anything wrong and kept saying the noise is from the engine, which is not true as it clearly comes from the exhaust. So our very quiet car sounds like a diesel car and no one is doing anything about it. I did not renew with Axa as premium was £300 more than other companies. If the insurance companies all going to go for cheap options when it comes to repairs, I rather go for cheaper premiums.

Have been an AXA customer for 2 years now. Only needed to claim last month and they have made it a nightmare. It is impossible to speak to anyone on the phone - my call have literally not been answered within 60 minutes on several occasions. Then if you do get through you might be told to call another number (another 60+ minute wait to get answered. They have failed to answer online messages as well, including formal complaints, and when they do they just give a stock answer which doesn't answer what you need. When I finally did get through on the phone and got my daughters treatment pre-approved I was told I would be sent a list of 3 specialists to pick from, instead they sent one which is miles away with no explanation. Since then they have failed to answer my messages. I believe they are deliberately preventing me for claiming. Thankfully my contract is up for renewal in August.

I have paid for an AXA plan for my whole family for almost a year now and I have yet to have them pay for ANY of my healthcare. They make it impossible to actually see a doctor, often trekking you they will send you a list of approved doctors, but never do, so you have to wait in hold... Again.

They told me they would personally hey on touch with my GP to get information they needed for a claim, and so they did was email the clinic! No way a surgery is going to send info over email. So, AXA didn't do any more, and didn't tell me! So I've been waiting around, in pain, waiting to see a specialist for joint pain, but can't. I've been waiting, in pain, for 3 weeks how and they still have not given me ANYTHING.

STAY AWAY!

All of this was dealt with by Senior Executives, so it wasn't some powerless front line employee who just doesn't care. EXECUTIVES after the people making my health worse!

I call them, CRYING in pain, begging then to help me and everyone says the sweetest things, then doesn't follow through with what they say they will do. I have fallen for it so many times, not I can't anymore.

I have had to put a complaint to the Quality Control Commission as it's the only way they will be held accountable!

Please give your reviews and make complaints to the CQC, not AXA!

We are Brits living in France and have AXA International cover, which includes recovery and transport if required. We came over to England to see our son. The clutch went on the ramp in the ferry. We were towed off in Newhaven. (DFDS were brilliant.) We had already alerted the insurer and were told a tow truck would meet us and recover the vehicle and to get back to them to firm up a hire car to take us onward. (We were going to Staffordshire) while our car was being fixed. The tow truck took the vehicle just after 3 pm. We went into the terminal with all our luggage. Despite many phone calls, we got no answers. So-called 24 hour numbers didn't respond. Mostly because we couldn't get them to answer the phone. We tried UK AXA and they then got us in touch with someone at the French end. She promised that she would find some kind of solution because we couldn't just be left stranded. (We didn't even have our own car to stay in.) She said she would definitely get back to us and never did. Close of business came and went. We struggled to find a hotel vacancy which we managed after a lot of trouble. Absolutely deplorable. Suppose I had been on my own and not with my husband? It doesn't bear thinking about.

I was with Axa for around 7 years - paying over the odds (my fault) for car insurance with bells on ! Thought it was all good but clearly had not needed to use their actual “Car insurance service” (I think that why I was paying them !! )
When someone hit the back of my car and drive off - I was quick to get the reg number, a witness, and a crime number from the police . After two years of chasing this case up with Axa, so unbelievably maddening, who had clearly done nothing every time I rang to get an update, they finally told me after chasing them too much that they were closing the case because the guy who did it said “it wasn’t him” - over the phone !!
It’s been the most deeply frustrating 2 years.
I would not recommend these fools - in fact I would run away. I have now finished my term with them and will NEVER use then again.
Truly appalling no service at all.

Ps if you ever hit someone else - just drive away … say it wasn’t you - chances are if Axa is the insurance company you get away with it - ffs !
What a useless system
£3500 I had to pay out and my insurance went up by £200
Thanks for that

THEY HAVE NOT DONE A THING! THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE OTHER INSURANCE.
I am so stressed, anxious, waiting for answers so that we can arrange transport to childcare as we have to give the hire car back soon.
It has been a long process, my partner has been backwards and forwards with phone calls, to hear nothing back!
I hope I will get some kind of compensation and NOT lose my no claims, £400 excess and NO COMPENSATION FOR SOMEONE ELSE WRITING OFF MY CAR!

Had abdominal pain over christmas and had a consultation with their in-house GP service (Doctor Care Anywhere). The GP made a prescription and requested some blood tests and a scan. It has been six weeks and I am still left in pain. AXA Health and DCA have given me the run-around every time I followed up to chase. I keep getting sent e-mails stating that the hospital will be in contact soon but nothing happens. When you call either of them up, they will suggest you call the other party. At AXA, it's almost impossible to speak to the right person as they will transfer you and then no one from that department will answer. I suspect it would have been much quicker and would have gotten investigated if I had just gone to my GP in the first place. Avoid
