Total disappointment

published

Have my home and content with coles. During last month deluge had tradie come and fix my roof and has damaged my car. What is interesting is they have hired a
Some trade company and are now asking me to chase individual.
Totally No accountability and when i call their call centre all they say is we deal with home insurance not car.
As a company they have lost my trust.
When i mention amboudsam i get told to do it, as of they dont care just no effort to resolve the issue.

Great employee Ashnee

published

I had to renew two of our policies with Coles the lady I spoke to Ashnee was wonderful. She was helpful in all ways she was very clear with what she said. I hope that they recommend her as if all of the employees were like her it would be great
thank you Ashnee I really appreciate your help

I rang your claim line for an update on my claim and was told there was no timeframes or indication when work will start. Was also told there isn’t anything else they can do - so why would I call back the claims number?!?!?...

I am shocked at how they have become worse than before. Worst company rude staff

published

Have been waiting for over a month. Lots of phone calls and get no reasonable answer. Total lack of respect when communicating and dismissive.
They wanted me to give them autority to settle the claim without any scope of work.
When i asked for itemised prices and scope of work I was told it is their private business.
Policy is cheap and so is the service received.
I am moving away from this company as I no longer trust them.
Ask to speak to supervisor and was denied.
The rude man talked and talked over me and finally hang up on me.
Thank god for the ombudsman.

Do Not get this insurance! They take your money but do not help you!

published

I am incredibly sad I left NRMA insurance and joined this lot as they had a special deal on the Fiffy Plus Club. Well they take your money and wriggle out of paying you when you put in a claim. My AC stopped working when there was a power surge on 31 December 2022. I told them I need it as I am a bad asthmatic. It is ducted-so it is in the roof cavity-so House and Contents should cover it! They said it is not covered as my policy is an event only policy-like fire or storm etc. Unbelievable!

Don’t insure with Coles

published

Worst home insurance company to deal with, people at the call centre are rude and do not know what they are talking about, they were very quick in sending the assessor out but it took six months and a few phone calls for them to knock my claim back because they said that hail blocking the spouting up allowing water to come inside the house was due to lack of maintenance and not storm damage.
Next door got fixed straight away.
Go with another insurance company Not Coles

Never deal with Coles insurance.

published

Increased premiums for same cover in safer area. Promised no cancellation fees and then charged with no mention in refund calculation. Rudest and least helpful staff and just hung up on me after 15 minutes explanation on phone. DO NOT INSURE WITH THIS RIP OFF COMPANY.

Cyclone in Albury?

published

Coles Insurance have just rejected my insurance on a new house in Albury with the statement that they aren’t taking any new business there as a Cyclone is about to hit. I have been a customer of theirs for years and hence it isn’t new business and secondly there isn’t a predicted Cyclone for this area, now or more than likely ever!

If you ever want an insurance company that takes your money and does everything to NOT assist with any claim this is the one for you, we have been waiting 6 weeks for small claim to be processed and Coles continually request information that can’t be supplied, extremely unprofessional and provide no assistance particularly for elderly people. Thank god for APIA

We have had our contents & car insurance with Coles for many years & have found them very competitive in price with our companies. Our house insurance is covered as we live in a retirement village. Fortunately the only claim we have had to make was a small one for our car. We would highly recommend Coles insurance to you..
