Saga Home insurance reviews (2709)

Review of the Saga, Home insurance:

Woefully poor emergency claims experience

1
We are in the middle of an ongoing and still unresolved EMERGENCY PLUMBING CLAIM after four and a half weeks. The Claims team don’t understand about basic customer service, saying they’ll get back you and then nothing happens so we always have to phone them - our phone time to them is now about ten hours. They use an emergency plumber that you can’t contact over the weekends. You can’t ever speak to the same person twice even if you have their name, neither will they give you the Network Manager’s name or contact details nor put you through to anyone who can actually make a decision. It’s “not their protocol” apparently so you’re at the mercy of one of 80 telephone operators who aren’t allowed to make decisions and just sound bored as they repeat ad nauseam “there’s nothing I can do”. I actually doubt the Network Manager exists, because they should have contacted us yesterday and we’re still waiting. They also demonstrate poor competence - they arranged for a second plumber to contact us; heard nothing so we phoned them - turns out they don’t even do the type of work we need and had told Saga that but Saga didn’t bother to let us know. Our claim has been escalated to the invisible Network Manager so now no one in the Claims team can do anything apparently, not even to arrange for another (third or fourth by now?!) plumber - meanwhile we’ve been 4 and a half weeks without water! We have lodged our complaint and were supposed to have heard from the Complaints team on Monday - to date have heard nothing. I can’t find anything about their emergency KPIs, probably because they know they won’t meet them. Meanwhile the leak is getting worse, we are STILL awaiting a plumber (great emergency service!) and this claim is costing Saga more by the day due to their total incompetence.

Tragedies made surmountable

Its a while ago now but we had our home rendered inhabitable for 8 months due to flooding, more recently we had our Motorhome burn out causing damage to our house and our neighbours too. On both occasions SAGA made the whole process of getting us back to normal almost a pleasure and we will be forever grateful. Thank you SAGA. Reviewed on: 30th September 2021

Excellent service by Customer Advisors

Customer Advisors are always polite & helpful when I have called. A few years ago when my hall ceiling collapsed and I made a claim; Saga organised the repair promptly. They sent a plumber to fix the pipework in the bathroom, then builders to repair the ceiling and plaster the hall ceiling. I was really pleased with the standard of the Tradesman's work, Saga used to do the repair. Excellent Customer Service by Saga, hence why I have been with the company for so long.
