Unable to update my policy, forced to cancel

I have just moved house and needed to update my car insurance policy with my new address. My policy was also due for renewal in 3 weeks time. I could not do it online (as the FAQ indicated I could) and when I spoke to an advisor I was told that they were changing IT systems and updating my address was not a functionality currently offered due to the proximity to my renewal date. The only option was to cancel the policy and refund me for the last few weeks of my policy (they did waive the cancellation fee) so now I have to find last minute car insurance before I can drive my car again which is at a higher price because I need it immediately and higher than my renewal quote for esure - who I will never use again. Not impressed at all. Reviewed on: 7th May 2024

Horrible company !

One of their customers hit my van in August 2023. They accepted fault, I gave them everything they asked for and they stopped responding by the end of September. They completely cut contact since, not answering emails or phones. I honestly do not understand how these criminals are allowed to operate in the UK. It's been 3 months since I wrote to their complaints department with no answer. Will claim with the financial ombudsman today, fingers crossed. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

AVOID THIS COMPANY !

Extremely poor customer service and the way they manage complaints - i.e. they do nothing. Do not buy a policy from them as you will be left to your own and ignored for weeks if there are any problems. My story: I cancelled my policy with an online agent at the end of March and was informed that within 3-5 days I would receive a refund and my policy would be cancelled straight away. More than two weeks passed and I noticed by checking my account that the payment had not arrived. I go to my profile and look and the policy is still active! After spending another hour with another agent I was informed of the same procedure. You wouldn't believe it, but I had to do it a third time at the end of April because they still hadn't done anything! The third agent cancelled the policy straight away because I was not as polite as before, but instead of doing a backdate from the end of March, he did a backdate from the middle of April, despite the fact that the previous agent had promised that the policy would be cancelled from the date I first asked for it. Although I did not agree to this date, the agent ignored me and cancelled the policy on the wrong date and with a smaller refund of course. I wrote an official complaint to them a long time ago. Nobody got back to me. Total failure. Reviewed on: 30th April 2024

Do not trust this company.

Do not trust this company. They do not respond to emails, do not answer calls, and have not paid our company for almost a year. There is no communication, no accountability. Stay away from this Ensure Insurance company Reviewed on: 5th April 2024

esure Claims Process: An Emotional and Mental Ordeal

Following a traumatic burglary, I reached out to esure, seeking solace and support through my contents insurance claim. Instead, I found myself embroiled in a process that has stretched beyond 2.5 agonizing months, each day adding to the weight of uncertainty and stress that has been eroding my mental well-being. Despite fulfilling every exhaustive request for documentation and repeatedly offering my full cooperation, I've been met with nothing but vague promises and a profound lack of progress. The impact of this ordeal goes far beyond frustration; it's a constant reminder of the violation of my personal space, making it incredibly difficult to find closure or begin the healing process. The seemingly indifferent response from esure, coupled with the absence of any tangible progress, has left me feeling neglected and invisible. At a time when I needed understanding and prompt action, I've felt increasingly isolated, battling not just the aftermath of a burglary but a fight for my own mental health.

Impossible to contact.

Impossible to contact. Worse decision of my life Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Never Again

As a not at fault customer I have been unsupported since the date of the claim. Customer service both through the app and over the phone has been the worst I've ever experienced. I've been given conflicting advice and information from several agents. Spent two full days either on hold or being cut off and still waiting for update on claim. I would avoid this company at all costs. Reviewed on: 7th March 2024

Bullying an older lady for £24 Now reporting you to the ombudsman for and investigation. Should cost esure £750 for them to investigate. Disgusting filthy bullies.
