Extremely disappointed

1
After being a loyal customer for years having 30 years driving,with no claim whatsoever my renewal this year is nearly £100 more expensive. Now cancelled the policy and renewed with new insurers saving myself £140. Am about to cancel home insurance with Direct line too as I have lost trust. So wish that I had done a price comparison sooner. Reviewed on: 7th March 2023

Discriminatory against PTSD child abuse trauma victim

1
I was involved in non fault car accident insured with Direct line. They have been terrible. I have had to report Direct Line Legal Services to the SRA. The SRA asked me to report to the financial ombudsman because them not taking in to account my PTSD at the start of my claim is discriminatory. This has affected me on every level and also negatively affected my chances in court in that I have been unable to gather evidence with the aim of taking the individual who abused me to court.

Where is my refund?

Where is my refund? You owe me money and you are just being obstructive by blaming other departments. I have emails from you telling me what it is, so pay up. Reviewed on: 20th December 2022

DO NOT INSURE WITH DIRECT LINE

1
I have been insured with these guys for very long not since after my car got written off by the DLG autos The service is poor direct line is not as good on family as you think they are when it comes to the valuation of the car they don’t ring you they get someone to give you a ring after Christmas maybe I’m still waiting on my valuation of my car I had a really bad experience with these guys which I have got two policies with these And I am not going to be with these guys any longer which from today I am finding another insurance company which are really good not as bad as these. I would recommend no one to join direct line it’s Lord of lies load of rubbish they don’t help you in fact they destroy your cars So be aware they are totally cons I’ve got some pictures I would upload so you can see me before and after how the damaged my car Reviewed on: 20th December 2022
