Lloyds Bank Home insurance reviews (114)

Pointless Policy!!

So for the first time ever I have had to make a claim under the Home Insurance policy we have due to water flooding our bathroom from the shower cubicle area. We didn't know what was causing it but having read the policy it said Trace and Access was covered up to 5k. Great I thought, lets get a plumber in to locate cause and fix it. When calling to advise of this and log a claim I was advised this is not covered for leaks as a result of pipework. I explained we didn't yet know where the leak was originating from. However, I got the plumber round as still needed this sorting. He confirmed no its not the pipes leaking. Called Lloyds back and advised its not the pipes can I now make a claim. They called the plumber who advised no its not the pipes, might be the grouting or the sealant although all looks to be in tact. Won't know until I take the tile off to see whats going on behind in that area. Lloyds response: Still can't claim. We don't cover leaks as a result of poor grouting or sealing!! So what exactly does get covered then because presently I have water flooding my bathroom everytime the shower is turned on and I am now going to have to pay for this to be traced fixed and then everything put back together again!! What is the point of my policy?! I guess I could always wait for a storm to blow part of the roof off - maybe then it would have a use! Not happy at all, wishing I had read these reviews before I took the policy out. Reviewed on: 27th July 2021

claims number: 500294714 - made my first ever insurance claim, had home insurance for around 15 years, my TV broke, gave them my serial number, they was about to give me a voucher for Argos for the TV. they then changed there minds because i made a mistake on the TV serial number, they were going to send my TV away to validate what model it was but would take 7 days! I said no chance as been 5 days without a TV already they then said if you get the recipe from curries the claim will be authorised, so I did this yesterday, called them back and now they said they still want to send it away for 7 days!!!! and they are not giving me a reason why one person said to validate it even though I gave them the recipe and another person said because we now want to see if we can fix it!!! this company is a complete JOKE!!! they never wanted to pay out!!!!!!

I recently lost a 22carat diamond ring which I was to understand would be covered by my LLoyds Bank Home Insurance I telephoned LLoyds Bank Home insurance claims office and reported that I had lost a 22carat diamond ring, I was asked for proof of the existance of this ring, I was not able to as this ring was 20+ years old, the proof they wanted was a sales receipt with a photograph of the ring, I was told by LLoyds Bank Home Insurance that this claim would be put to Lloyds Bank own jewellers for assessment, I had a result back from LLoyds Bank Home Insurance telling me that they were unable to pay out as there was no prrof of the existance of this ring, even if they were going to accept this claim I would only get a 9carat ring replacement LLOYDS BANK HOME INSURANCE TOTAL RIP OFF, PLEASE BE WARNED DO NOT CONSIDER USING LLOYDS BANK HOME INSURANCE , PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID AVOID LLOYDS BANK HOME INSURANCE Reviewed on: 25th June 2021

I had to make a claim for a water leak. Still not resolved after 2 years! Useless surveying and water leak detection. Had to get own people in who insurers won’t accept. Useless third party claims department. I am constantly chasing them for a resolution to no avail. Do not touch with a barge pole. Reviewed on: 21st April 2021

I made a claim for a leak and they have done everything possible not to payout using exclusion clauses which don’t make sense. I would never use them. Even if you withdraw your claim they put your premium up. They are using a useless surveying and validating company. They never get back to you. Their customer services are useless. I have wasted my money for the last two years. Complete fraudsters. Please stay clear of their policy Reviewed on: 3rd April 2021

Double charging

I have been a Lloyds customer for many years, originally with a combined buildings and contents home insurance policy, I suddenly realised that I had been paying two direct debits, one for buildings and a seperate one for contents, I was horrified, as I have never requested seperate cover, also both policies had been increased by £50.00 last year and I have never made a claim I have now cancelled my policies, DO NOT trust these people !!!
