I had insurance with this company, which I’ve paid on time always, my car got stolen in November. It took them 2 months to come back with a response for my claim, time in which I didn’t have a curtesy car, and the response was they are not paying my claim and they are voiding my insurance because I had a lip bar fitted. The lip bar was purely cosmetic, did not affect the performance of the car, the lights or anything but they claim I should’ve let them know. I will take this to court but I want to save other people from going through hell with this insurance company. Read more Read less

No customer service, they seem to us Acorn for settlements, unfair settlement, hold back money and say if you don’t settle then you have to pay storage fees for written off vehicle even though accident not your fault, take away hire vehicle after paying part settlement. DO NOT USE IF ACCIDENT NOT YOUR FAULT always use your own insurance company. Be warned. Read more Read less

Very unprofessional, took my car to total loss while in very good working condition, and while I insisted I wanted to keep the car as why they offered me was very low and after removing excess fee I could not even buy a car at all. Only interested in total loss so they can bring down the value tremendously and reduce the excess fee too so you are left with peanuts. After 2 months still nothing has been received in my account. They are rude, don’t reply to your emails and drop the line on purpose, while leave you hanging with no timeframe! Read more Read less

I got a new plate all transfered by DVLA, I tried to update on their portal but it would not let me and it just said policy active. I was stopped by the Police a few months ago and after a conversation with the insurance company they let me go and said it must just be a computer glitch. I have just been pulled over by a Police officer again and after he finally got through to them they said that as of now they will terminate my contract meaning I will not be insured as of tomorrow. I am absolutely disgusted with the lack of communication on their part as I have never at any stage been told to contact them. I put my trust in their portal to be designed in a way that is reliable to notify customers to contact them if there is something that is not acceptable by their company terms. It has done me a favour as I have now been insured by a company that has direct contact and an app that has direct chat with a company rep. Awfully disappointed at the way they handled this but they have just lost a customer who would have remained loyal for the long haul! Read more Read less

They say they don't cover this and have left me stranded in the middle of nowhere. I've got no food or water. No shops for miles. My vans sinking in to the ditch and I have nobody else to help me. I will be cancelling the breakdown cover with these and they will be refunding me for what I've already paid and I will look for cover that doesn't leave people stranded in the middle of nowhere without food or water to survive and no hope of getting out.

I've had several conversations with these guys, they try to trip you up at every point. They have exaggerated our rebuild cost (telling us to pay more) and when you try to make a claim they use every trick possible to get out of paying anything. We've had two leaks, not caused by us but by external influences and on both occasions, they have stated they are not liable. They are rude, blunt and have shocking customer service. I would cancel my policy but even for that, I have to make a payment. Read more Read less

Do not use Acorn/Haven insurance people, I insured my Grandsons 1st car with them at a cost of £2500 for a Vauxhall Corsa a couple of months ago. We agreed a value of £9500, Unfortunately he had a bump and the car was written off, there now telling me it was valued at £7275 on there system which is impossible I couldn't even buy one for that. (they'll of charged the fee on my valuation), Top and bottom of it is that's all there prepared to pay minus the £1100 excess, so keep away from this rip off company, (Con Men) Read more Read less

I signed up with haven insurance through got you covered, I recently had a non fault claim with them..... while waiting for my car to be repaired I have had two mechanics check to see if repairable and they have said yes.....my car wasn't checked by insurance repair people and they've just said it's written off although confirmed that it's possible to fix......no options given to me but that copart will come to take my car, and from my car value which is £1.695 they are taking off money from that which I'm guessing it will be near to nothing I will receive. No car after a accident they confirmed was 100% not my fault and lost money after paying over £3.000 in insurance. This message is to help someone else as I can see I have been scammed and left with nothing. Read more Read less
