Disgusting treatment of customers
Having held various types of insurance for the last 30 years, this was the first time I have ever had to make a claim. I thought a company the size of ANZ and QBE could be trusted, how wrong I was.
I thought my claim was fairly straightforward. Some lost rent, rent default and damage totalling around $12,000. It should have been sorted out within a matter of weeks, but has taken a little over 2 years.
The loss adjustment company Cerno originally offered me less than $5,000 to settle my claim, it took them 12 months to get to this figure....Read more
They refused to pay me for items clearly covered in the PDS such as relacement keys and damage to blinds. The claims officer was rude and arrogant just as others have stated. I followed their dispute resolution process detailed in the PDS, but they ignored my emails, so I contacted the Financial Ombudsman Service, who finally got things moving. QBE still continued to stall and not respond as to why they hadn't covered many of the items. They quickly got their lawyers involved for added intimidation, who weren't interested in what the policy actually covered but just wanted to settle the claim for the minimum they thought they could get away with. I finally asked the Ombudsman to make a determination and they told QBE to pay the full amount of $12,000, plus $1,000 compensation and interest. So I finally got what I was entitled to, but it was a long stressful process, and had I been desperate for cash I may well have settled for something less, which I'm sure is why QBE engage in such unethical behaviour in the first place. Nearly 3 months after the FOS determination QBE had still not paid up, so I had to get the FOS involved yet again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Disgraceful
Had tenants take off with weeks of rent owing, holes in the walls backyard like an overgrown tip, light fittings broken. OnePath will not pay saying I have to prove it malicious damage. The assessor is incredibly rude and unsympathetic and questions everything. They will do anything to get out of a claim, disgraceful company, and I've cancelled all my policies with them.

Poor to act once we lodge claim
We had a Rent default and Malicious damage claim after one year with them on Oct 2011 since tenant caused damage with holes on walls, broken toilets, blinds, carpet damage. When we lodges claim they sent Loss advisor from QBE. Once he is done they sent builder to assess. Guess what nothing happened I followed up every two days to get update no reply and loss advisor won't answer or return call. When I rang one path they say I should contact loss advisor.it's been over three weeks and when I spoke to One path they said my Malicious damage claim ...Read more
rejected and it's a poor hygiene by tenant and when I request written letter they said five days initially. After five days I haven't received then they said two days.third time I rang I was told one week again. Not worth when I requested to put me through manager they said no one I could talk to even supervisor. I had enough and sent a written letter to claims manager and I got call next day advising claim rejected and my rental default in review. I said what after 6 weeks now I was told rent default in review. since it should take only ten days to process. Next day they processed my Tenant rent default and paid out. But for malicious damage I had let it go and got my own builder and paid for it. The whole claims process was poorly handled and delayed. I lost rent for 8 weeks the time I got everything fixed. We take the insurance to be stress free at time when we need. But not to be stressed because of insurance claim process handling.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Terrible
Just a follow up on my last post. I wanted to let everyone know that my claim which started on the 3rd July was finally paid out on the 29 December 2010.
Between my last post and the pay out, my husband and I took turns to call and chase information on what was happening about 8 more times - most of the time we got the impression nothing had been done since the previous time we called them.
6 months to start and finalise a claim. I hope no one else has to go through this.
Find it hard to think of any right now

OK
Well, as a policy it seems good, for claims I can't comment - but we've had the policy for 3 and a bit years then recently set up a second one for a new property. The premium for the second one was quite a bit cheaper than the original one, for exactly the same cover - why? Do a comparable quote online for the first policy and it's $150 cheaper per year than what I'm already paying on an existing policy!!!
Upon further investigation I find out that new policies are subsidised and renewal customers are stung (but you get so-called loyalty p...Read more
