Review of the Virgin Money, Travel Insurance:

The worst insurance company on the market

1
This is the worst insurance company I have come across, I have been a customer for over 10 years paid every year, last year I changed the insurance cover from a personal to a family insurance, my insurance runs from March to March each year. I have now just been away on holiday in August and became ill and also had my wedding ring stolen, I called Virgin to make a claim and they informed me my policy ran out a week before I went away and said that they had sent out a renewal letter, I explained no renewal letter was received and that my policy is usually March to March so why did it run out in August?....they stated when I changed the policy from private to family the policy dates changed but this was not explained at the time and no renewal letter was received, the attitude I received from customer services was disgraceful, telling me all of their other customer received their renewal letter with no problems, usually these insurance companies are hungary for your money so I do not understand why a reminder letter was also not sent after a couple of week after no response if they had sent the first letter out also why they did not send an e-mail reminder that the policy was running out, in the past it was an automatic renewal and I was under the impression it would have been the same once again, I just can't believe I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years and when I do make a claim they inform me my policy ran out the week before. it is totally unacceptable to change the renewal dates, not make sure contact is made regarding the renewal given they changed the dates and also stopped automatically renewing the policy and then when I call the lady on the phone has no empathy, all you get is attitude saying it is your responsibility to make sure you have insurance which is a completely ignorant attitude towards a situation which is of virgin insurance makings by moving the goal posts. do not use this company! they have lost a life long customer in me and also all of my friends and family, for the small claim they have refused they will lose a lot more money in terms of lost business however I do not suppose that matters to the wealthy owners as long as they continue to trick clients into spending money and not paying out on claims. policy number MF/VM/V05257/25393707 Just incase Virgin try to state this is not a review from a former Virgin customer!
