They are the only company that I have com across that still require me to go to or post things to a branch to set up my insurance. They promised cash back that I had to chase and they renewed my policy when I had asked them not to. They would also only give me their best price if I talked to a woman on the phone. Absolute disgrace. Reviewed on: 20th July 2016

Are Swinton really scammers?

1
I filled in a request for quote online on a third party website to insure a work van for my own pest control firm. Swinton's sales person phoned me the next day among a flood of phone calls from their competitors. I let myself talked me into taking a policy with them. However all that Swinton was interested in was to receive payments. Swinton has never sent us a cover note, insurance schedule or terms and conditions of business with them. Swinton ommited to tell me they were going to use underwriters Ageas before signing a credit agreement. Later Swinton failed to deliver the service I have paid for and I had no other option but to cancel further payments to the scammers. Reviewed on: 15th June 2016

Was charged £25 to change my address on my policy - I thought this was unfair as moving house is expensive enough! Reviewed on: 18th March 2016

Was charged £25 to amend someone on insurance as no longer being a learner having passed their test. I was gobsmacked when I had to pay it! Reviewed on: 15th March 2016

Agresive, unhelpful customer service

1
After looking for car insurance on comparison sites I decided to check out Swinton. The sales staff on the phone were helpful (or so I thorght at the time), and found me a good deal on my L200. Everything was fine, direct debt set up, no worrys. After the 2nd payment was taken I was taken I recieved a letter from Swinton saying my insurance had been canceled. The following month thay took out double the usual direct debit payment plus a "Cancelation fee". Puzzeled, I phoned customer service and asked 1. why had thay canceled, 2. why had thay taken double payment, 3. why I had to pay cancelation fee when thay canceled the policy. The custumer service staff was abusive saying it was my fault thay had to cancel the policy as an L200 was classed as a van. Since that was the same vehicle I insured I could not see the problem. Every month since I recieve another bill for unpaid account, even though the policy was canceled 6 months ago. Reviewed on: 8th September 2015
