“WARNING! Privilege Home Insurance ”

Written on: 14/03/2013

Terrible company which tricks you into an automatic renewal contract. If you don't cancel in time they try to charge a cancellation fee. DO NOT ACCEPT THIS! This is illegal and you can claim your money back (easiest if you have paid by credit card). Never again, Privelege Home Insurance. (read more)

“Shocking, unprofessional and unreliable”

Written on: 09/07/2012 by MHomolka (1 review written)

Half way through our annual policy we decided to extend our house. We telephoned Privilege to give them our builders insurance details and they said they were cancelling our policy there and then. We have now been left without insurance and to get cover now that the build is starting is impossible so far. We have never made a claim ever in all of our adult lived and now thanks to Privilege we have been left without any insurance cover. Stay away from this company!!! (read more)

“look elsewhere”

Written on: 16/09/2011

Tried to make a claim for a damaged camera under my personal posessions cover, i was offered a basic kiddy camera in place of a proffesional digital SLR, different make ,spec a fifth of the price and they were not budging that coupled with an extra undeclared £25 excess on top of the standard £100 it wasnt worth bothering..so I didnt. LOOK ELSEWHERE.they are not interested in your claim only in collecting your policy money. (read more)

BEWARE THIS COMPANY: THEY SEEK TO MISLEAD AND THEN PROFIT FROM THIS DECEIPT!

Despite having never claimed on my insurance I received a renewal notice that included a hefty 40%+ increase in my premium. Outrageous - I called to query, but couldn't get through. Therefore I went elsewhere.
When I called them to cancel (With is not easy so you risk the automatic renewal going through if you are not persistant) I was told they could apply a substantial discount. I asked why they hadn't applied... (read more)

Written on: 21/12/2010

Our heating has just borken down and i have been trying to get in touch with the 24hour emergency helpline and have not yet gotten in touch with anyone i can speak to. I waited 55minutes in the last call. It is absoloutly disgusting that they treat people this way.

Avoid at all costs and i wish i had done more research on the company. I picked Privilage because i thought they were one of the better known companies and though not the cheapest, the full premium cover, i thought would be a... (read more)

“Please avoid Privilege insurance Company! They are...”

Written on: 22/10/2010

Please avoid Privilege insurance Company! They are part of the Royal bank of Scotland group that includes the equally awful Direct Line. I put my foot through the ceiling and Privilege refused to pay the claim despite us doing everything they required. They then asked for £160 as we cancelled the policy. THIS IS THE WORST INSURANCE COMPANY WE HAVE BEEN WITH. AVOID. Our case is likely to end up in court.

Written on: 09/10/2010

I could have give minus star rating if it was an option for privilege home insurance.Had renewal notice came through and threaten me that if i cancel the policy, other insurers may refuse to cover my property all together.

Cust service is worst.They will not issue no claim certificate for inappropriate and manufactured reasons.

To sum up, AVOID PRIVILEGE, RBS , DIRECT LINE AT ANY COST. EVEN THEIR QUOTE COMES CHEAP. (read more)

Privilige Home and Contents insurance with optional Acidental Damage
Awful customer service, try anything to get out of a claim.
Part of Direct Line and RBS would NEVER use these people again.
Submitted claim for paint spill on carpet, took 2 weeks for someone to arrive and then validation department made me feel like a criminal.
Eventually offered £46 sq m or £1600 (current min valuation) but would not send cheque they wanted to replace carpet i wanted extra carpet to cover small area in... (read more)

Written on: 11/01/2010

I have made a claim for freezer contents that was included in my policy.This is my first claim in 20 years.
The customer services were not helpfull and found all ways NOT to pay the claim for contents.
I don't know why the freezer packed up as we were away on Christmas day and Boxing day only to return to find a pool of water around our freezer.
Customer services said it was a machanical breakdown and will not pay the claim for the freezer or the contents.
Although I have it in writing that... (read more)
