Pathetic service

It’s unfortunate that I must rate with a one star and not zero stars. Where do I even start?

1. The service is so poor. Long response times via emails. 2. They debit incorrect amounts from your bank account and when you query, they take ages to respond as if it is your fault. 3. Their app is delayed with the self assessment and even though you do it on time, it takes longer to reflect on their side. In this event, your premium goes higher and it’s a mission to have them credit your account.

Overall I would never recommend this insurance company to anyone. I had two cars insured with them and the experience was the same. Time to browse around for another reputable insurer.

Today is one month later and yet I am also experiencing pathetic service from Budget insurance. I requested a call back yesterday online and still no call back. I called this morning and there’s a robot taking calls which puts you on hold till your airtime runs out. I called complaints department and the lady is so nonchalant and drained out as if she hasn’t had sleep. What is going on with this service provider? I am simply requesting to update my policy since I have a new car and need a competitive quote, but I think it’s time to finally cancel this policy!!! Please call me back ASAP to sort this out. ***
