Review of the Home Protect, Home Insurance:

Avoid at all costs

Home emergency - called to make claim - after many hours in a queue gave up and completed their online form. Acknowledgement email says they'll be in touch swiftly. A month later and I've still not heard. Completed their complaints form and was promised a reply in 2 days - 10 days later no response. Cannot get through on the phone, emails never responded to. Will be raising with ombudsman. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

It took months to negotiate my claim, which is still not paid.

It took months to negotiate my claim, which is still not paid. I complained about their service and that their lack of communication, which was acknowledged, and they ignored all my communications by phone and email for months. I finally raised the issue with the ombudsman, and they lied and said they had not recieved my complaint. They then sent me a complaint resolution, without actually speaking to me to find out what my complaint was. The resolution did not address my concerns. Their resolution is the final, and only, response they intend to provide for any complaint. In addition, they do not treat clients personal information correctly. I made a subject access request, which was acknowledged, but never further responded to. I called their contact centre (30+ minutes waiting time) and was informed that had never received my subject access request. When I advised the request had been acknowledged, they could only apologise, but did not raise another complaint. I am currently on hold (56 mins waiting time so far) to speak again with one of their claims handlers. I am writing this review to pass the time. Reviewed on: 24th March 2023

Cancelled my home insurance and was sent a default on my credit rating

I had my house insurance buildings and contents cover with Home Protect and called them mid policy with two months remaining to cancel the policy as I had sold my house and was moving in with my parents whilst waiting for my house purchase to complete. I was advised that I had to pay £50 cancellation fee on the £15.73 a month policy with two months left to run. This was waived by a manager as more than the monthly payments remaining. The two months passed and then I received an email from HomeProtect issuing me with a default notice under section 87(1) of the consumer credit act 1974. I called their telephone line and spend over two hours on the phone to various people trying to explain that I cancelled the policy two months ago and I was out through to 4 different people no one was able to revolve the issue. In the end the operator made a complaint on my behalf but I was unable to speak directly to the complaints team. I am livid to have a default on my credit account. I would never use this company again or recommend. Reviewed on: 6th March 2023

Poor Claims Service

Negligent service, ignore your emails. I have an emergency and i've been waiting 2 months for a reply! Reviewed on: 7th January 2023

Hope your premium covers your claim

We have HomeProtect buildings and contents insurance, we made a claim in July and after 20 emails, hours on the phone I still haven't had any correspondence with reference my claim My online account doesn't even have the claim showing!! Absolutely disgraceful service they should not be entitled to be an insurance company. Reviewed on: 8th November 2022

Steer clear not interested in customer service

Very poor service, 3 months so far with a claim. Raised a complaint and they used the complaint instead of my claim. Email and call and no response what so ever. I'm afraid if I need any other claims. Reviewed on: 14th October 2022

Non-existent customer service

Like other reviewers I have found HomeProtect's customer service, IT support and banking to be appalling. I took my policy out in April 2022 and every single month HomeProtect fail to take the payment. My bank says the direct debit is set up, HomeProtect say it is set up and yet every single month they fail to take the payment and I have to call up and make payment. They fail to respond to all emails, they never send confirmation emails they say they will, they pass you from handler to handler during each call. An Insurer who cannot handle basics of taking direct debit payments is very concerning, I dred to think how badly they would handle any claim. I wish I had never come accross them. DO NOT USE HomeProtect, shop around and use a competent Insurer. Reviewed on: 31st July 2022

My first experience with HomeProtect was disastrous

My first experience with HomeProtect was extremely negative. I signed insurance Policy Ref: C28/0673726 on March 18, 2022. What happened: I decided to change direct debit bank. I called and notified HomeProtect. On June 24, I received an official confirmation from HomeProtect about the change of bank details. However, when the time came for the next month payment (£78.39) the company used the old details (I was notified by the bank where I closed the account) and HomeProtect, of course, did not receive money. On June 30 HomeProtect notified me that my most recent instalment of £78.39 hasn't been paid, due to insufficient funds. I have been fined (£20) and I was informed that a loan agreement (at a rate of 12%) should come into effect. I called HomeProtect and begged them to use new payment details that I had previously informed them off and which they officially confirmed. In vain. They kept claiming that they used the new details. I contacted the new bank and got confirmation that HomeProtect has not made any attempt to collect the payment. What I did: I realized that I was in a dangerous situation. Having money, I could make a payment because of unprofessional and incomprehensible actions of HomeProtect. I called HomeProtect again and said I didn't want to make monthly payments. I want to pay the entire balance before the end of the contract in a lump sum. This conversation took place on June 30. My new bank confirmed that HomeProtect received the amount (£655.02) on July 1. Until now (today is the 10th of July 2022) I do not have official confirmation from HomeProtect that my financial obligations to HomeProtect have been repaid in full. My calls with inquiries to HomeProtect did not lead to any results. As a result: 1. I have already suffered financial losses (I paid a fine (£20) for HomeProtect mistake in the client's payment details). 2. I am in a state of uncertainty. The company refuses to acknowledge receipt of my money in the amount of £655.02. 3. All I hope is they don't try to get more money from me. My advice: NEVER USE HomeProtect! IT IS DANGEROUS!

Appalling insurance company. Avoid.

Appaling insurance provider. AVOID. HomeProtect does not provide protection, they do not even provide excuses - they simply ignore you, for months. Read the reviews - all positive ones are from people who have never had to make a claim. I called HomeProtect to make a claim against my Policy, to be told "we accidentally cancelled your policy without telling you, our accounts made an admin error, goodbye". They eventually admitted error, reinstated my Policy, took my money, authorised my claim, but are now neglecting to pay me the money they owe me. If you call, you are put on hold for hours, day after day. And they do not respond to emails. So I am out of pocket, stressed, and struggling to take more time off work to sit on hrs of unreasonable holding pattern that amount to nothing. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022
