Paid into this policy for 12 years in good faith genuinely hoping/expecting never to have to file a claim when suddenly I was left with no choice but to. Battling a broken right arm as well as a debilitating illness was nothing compared to the fight that this disgraceful insurer forced me into. They have not honoured the terms or their regulatory obligations at all. They have absolutely no regard for their customers especially when they end up particularly vulnerable. They have no morals, no grace and the female executive team in particular should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Snakes! Deeply regret trusting them and will be absolutely cancelling my policy.

This company is an example of how an insurer should look in terms of product, cost and even claims process which I know from a recent personal experience. They are extremely fair and will go over and above for their customers. Highly recommend! Read more Read less
