Review of the Nationwide, FlexPlus:

Disappointing NW Flexplus Mobile Insurance Experience

I’ve been a Nationwide FlexPlus account holder for five years, primarily attracted by the additional mobile phone insurance. Until this month, I hadn’t needed to make a claim. However, when my son accidentally broke the back cover of his iPhone 12 Pro Max, I finally had to use the service. While the claim and approval process were straightforward, the experience quickly turned into a nightmare. The approved repairer, Pocket Geek TechRepair (managed by Assurant), replaced the original battery, which was at 78%, with a non-Apple-approved battery. This caused the phone to become unusable, constantly restarting. I had to visit the store three times to have the original battery reinstalled so the phone would work again. Additionally, they replaced the back cover with a counterfeit part. After paying a £75 excess fee and £13 monthly for five years, I was left with substandard, fake parts. When I raised the issue, the insurance provider claimed this was in line with their terms and conditions, which state that "readily available parts" can be used. However, I don’t believe this should mean counterfeit components. It feels like the provider interprets the T&Cs to suit their convenience, leaving customers with a poor-quality service.

Wednesday 27th November 2024 Dear Debbie Crosbie CEO for Nationwide and Senior leadership team. I am raising this letter has matter urgency the way I was treated by David Belson senior Branch Manager today 27 Nov. 24 approximately 16.00 pm at the Coventry branch.

Up on this afternoon I pop in to above branch to speak with branch manager rob who was helpful at first and sorted my upgrade account and then was talking about the complaint also contracting nuearton branch also in respect of the other issue too. While speaking to rob he popped out to then a second manager called David Belson came in who seem over rude and not very supportive at first. The communication and themed turned very quickly he was sticking up for nationwide, he at one point turned round to me and said well if you accusing nationwide nationwide can he says you are at fault. He then started laying down the law and saying this how nationwide going to be dealing with your complaint not how I want it to be. In my view he came across really angry and rude and felt threated at one mine this when I started to recalled which I am allowed to do he asked me to level even when I done 0 wrong asking for his details and senior director details is allowed. He also told rob the branch manager not to speak by using hand method, he refused to let me write information down. He also called security too which totally joke.

Beware Nationwide FlexPlus accounts

The travel insurance provider for Nationwide FlexPlus account has recently changed to Aviva. Fair play there is no supplement for over 70’s but the additional premiums you have to pay for medical conditions or extended trips (ie more than 31 days takes the cost through the roof. In my case by hundreds. I have just been notified the account cost will be going up to £18 per month from December 2024 adding a further £60 per year. If you are thinking of this account beware. I suggest you get some indicative premiums from Aviva before you commit. Reviewed on: 5th September 2024

Flex Plus account offers unbeatable value for money in terms of the extras it gives as part of the package. As long as you agree to deposit £13 a month into the account you get free travel insurance, breakdown insurance and gadget insurance. These are not cut price packages that they offer for example the travel insurance covers you world wide and the breakdown insurance includes European cover. Older people or people with health conditions can still obtain cover at very reasonable prices and it covers the whole family. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024
