Impossible to contact. They don't answer the phone or respond to emails and documents disappear from the web portal never to return. They may be cheap but I now understand why, they have committed no resource to the product. Am switching insurer!! Worse service ever. We filled in all paperwork months before our mortgage was due to end and got an offer more than 1 month before the due date. Yet, their solicitors (Optima legal) did not act on time and we have already paid £240 excess in interest. ... Worse service ever. We filled in all paperwork months before our mortgage was due to end and got an offer more than 1 month before the due date. Yet, their solicitors (Optima legal) did not act on time and we have already paid £240 excess in interest. They don't answer emails or phone calls and don't take responsibility for their delays. We were moving banks to pay less and we are actually paying more. This is being the worse experience we ever had with a bank. Our mortgage advisor has put a formal complaint against Optima Legal, yet they cannot care less as keep delaying the completion, even after acknowledging they have all the documents. Unprofessional and unethical making clients pay for not being able to do their work on time.

WARNING - do not use Sainsburys bank for your car insurance if there is any chance you may want to cancel part way through the year. I cancelled with 3 months left to go anticipating saving some money after Christmas - this was not the case. I ended up paying the remaining amount in one lump sum less £25. If I had realised this I wouldn't have bothered cancelling and would have left the car insured. After speaking to them for clarification when the paperwork came through they confirmed this was the case and I could not reinstate the policy. What a farce! I now know why my 6 other cars are all insured with Direct Line or Lancaster. You may pay a bit more overall but the service is second to none and never had any problems with making amendments to policies. DO NOT USE Everything is slow and clunky. Paper forms need sent off!!! It’s 2018 for goodness sake. We were in a hurry for the cash so I phoned to check it was all going ok. ‘Yes all fine - 2/3 working days and you will have the money’ was the answer. Then 8 days... Everything is slow and clunky. Paper forms need sent off!!! It’s 2018 for goodness sake. We were in a hurry for the cash so I phoned to check it was all going ok. ‘Yes all fine - 2/3 working days and you will have the money’ was the answer. Then 8 days later dropped through the door. Our application fell at the final hurdle because I had applied in my given name ‘Joe Bloggs’ but the name on the bank statement I sent away included my middle name ‘Joe William Bloggs’. I would have to start from scratch. They make it very difficult to use their online banking service - when it comes to trying to get your money out. Several unnecessary validations are needed that mean your instant access account is not really instant access it's a month's notice...
