EXTREME WARNING: AVOID MARSHMALLOW
EXTREME WARNING: AVOID MARSHMALLOW — ONE SMALL ERROR CAN LEAVE YOU CANCELLED, FINED, UNINSURED AND FACING YEARS OF HIGHER PREMIUMS Policy number: MM000872250 This is... EXTREME WARNING: AVOID MARSHMALLOW — ONE SMALL ERROR CAN LEAVE YOU CANCELLED, FINED, UNINSURED AND FACING YEARS OF HIGHER PREMIUMS Policy number: MM000872250 This is the worst insurance company I have dealt with in Britain. I reported a minor error in my day of birth immediately. Marshmallow agreed to correct it, increased my premium by £36.77, issued corrected documents and allowed the policy to begin. Several days later, they reversed their decision, cancelled the policy and imposed a £130 fee for the same error they had already accepted and corrected. They accepted the correction. They accepted the higher premium. They confirmed the amended policy. Then they cancelled it anyway. Their handling has left me facing: - an insurer-initiated cancellation; - serious risk to my previously clean insurance record; - replacement quotations of around £2,900–£3,000; - a £130 penalty; - major financial loss; - and the possibility of being left unable to drive my own vehicle. A simple and honest error, reported immediately, was turned into a major insurance problem that may affect the cost and availability of my insurance for years. I have submitted a formal complaint. A generic public reply saying that Marshmallow has “contacted me” or is “looking into the matter” will not change what happened. In my experience, this company accepted the correction, took the higher premium, cancelled the policy anyway and left me to deal with the financial and insurance consequences. Avoid Marshmallow if you value your clean insurance record, your money and your ability to remain insured. Read more Read less

Their payment app is entirely broken—it refuses to show Apple Pay, won't let you delete old cards, and blindly charges the wrong card. This glitch forces you to miss payments so they can slap you with an extra £22 fee every single month. On top of that, they hiked my monthly premium from £110.02 to £169.43 without permission.When you try to get help, you are met with an AI loop followed by a completely rude, dismissive human agent ("Brooke") who gaslipped me by claiming "no other customers have this issue." They completely refused to help remove my cards, fix the glitch, or refund the unfair fees, lazily repeating the same useless app instructions. I am now forced to go through my bank to issue chargebacks for every single incorrect charge. An absolutely shameless business model and the worst customer care I have ever experienced.
