What an absolute shambles of a company
What an absolute shambles of a company. You use their online portal to confirm you do not wish to renew the insurance and they provide the confirmation and then they have their debt collection company calling 10 times a day at all hours demanding I pay a cancellation charge as I apparently didn’t notify them of not wanting to renew. Their collection company are nothing short of useless, you show them proof of not wanting to renew but this is ignored and demand money that isn’t due. I would stay well clear of this bunch of odious cretins.

I have had to contact the financial ombudsman over a policy thay had 2 months remaining! Transferring the remaining policy onto a new car one call handler told me they wont insure me and it would COST ME to cancel even though they cannot provide the service. The second call handler said I can transfer the remaining policy which would cost a total of £77 to be told 3 times this policy would end in September I then logged onto my account and have been placed on a completely new policy for 12 months!?!?!?!? Im now guessing i have a lost a whole year of no claims.
I yet to await a reply of my complaint from them. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING COMPANY.

Hi Shannon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate how upsetting and frustrating this situation has been.
We're sorry to learn that you received conflicting information regarding your policy and the process for changing your vehicle. We understand how concerning it would be to see what appeared to be a new 12-month policy after being advised your existing cover would end in September.
As you've already submitted a formal complaint, our Customer Relations team will carry out a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding your policy, including the advice you were given, the policy changes made, and any concerns regarding your No Claims Discount. They will provide you with a detailed response once their investigation is complete.
In the meantime, if you would like us to look into the progress of your complaint, we would be happy to do so. Please contact us with your policy details at social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk.

Avoid like the plague!!
This company provide appalling customer service and lack of empathy for the customer. They Cancelled my insurance with no reason. When I asked for a reason simply got "we can no longer insure you" and no explanation whatsoever with no opportunity to appeal! Disgraceful! Even if they're you're cheapest quote walk away! There's a reason why it's the cheapest!!

Hi Tajul,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when a policy is cancelled.
In some circumstances, an insurer may decide they are no longer able to offer cover. When this happens, we are not always provided with a detailed reason to share, and we appreciate that this can be disappointing.
We'd like the opportunity to look into your concerns further. Please send your policy details to us at social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your renewal experience.
We appreciate that an increase in your renewal premium can be frustrating. While we always aim to offer competitive prices, lower renewal premiums are not always available, as the cost of insurance is influenced by a number of factors that can change from one policy term to the next.
We're also sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service you received when you contacted us. Providing a professional and respectful service is important to us, and it's disappointing to hear that you felt your concerns were not handled appropriately.
We value your feedback and will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant team for review, as they help us to improve the service we provide.

Trying to change vehicle on policy is very difficult.
Web chat that you are directed to takes you round in circles, only to then state that they cannot make change.
Web chat then cuts off without any further help.

Hi Peter,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such a frustrating experience trying to change the vehicle on your policy. Getting stuck in a loop on web chat, only to be cut off without any help, is incredibly annoying, and it's certainly not the standard of service we want to give you.

Totally disgusted
Totally disgusted with the response my mum got from this company, her bank card was spammed so cancelled it when her car insurance renewal came around this meant the payment that should have gone out was clearly declined by the time she got the notification to say it was declined. She phoned the company up to explain the situation. They then turned around and said basically tough it's going to cost you an extra £200 Then she asked how much is it going to cost to cancel the insurance? That was only going to cost £25 so she agreed to cancel the agreement. They've literally lost a customer because the person she spoke to couldn't be bothered to sort this out in an amicable fashion I would never recommend this as insurance

Hi Jenny,
I am sorry your mum had such a stressful experience. Dealing with a spammed card is hard enough without this extra hassle.
It is incredibly disappointing that we did not handle her call with more empathy and fairness. We never want to lose a customer this way, and we want to make this right.
So we can look into this for you, please email her policy details to social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk.

The absolute worst of worst car…
The absolute worst of worst car insurance. If you know what’s good for you and your peace of mind please stay away! Getting ahold of them is like an obstacle course and when you finally do different information is given. When making a claim they do not respond back to third party insurers which results in them chasing you down directly. They do not handle claims properly at all. I have had to constantly call and chase them down when I have paid for a service. Just avoid them entirely.

Everything was totally fine until I changed my DD date and they tried to take 2 payments out in the same week. I received no communication as to why and no explanation when I queried. I cancelled the 2nd payment and then received a bill of £112 despite them trying to take extra money they were not due.

Hi Ellen,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m really sorry for the confusion and frustration caused by your direct debit date change.
Seeing two payments requested in one week with no explanation sounds incredibly stressful. We always want to be clear about how changes affect your billing, and it's disappointing we missed the mark.

Rude, lies and useless website.
Was with this company for a couple of years but renewal price was double of everywhere else so i went online followed all instructions to ensure it did NOT auto renew. The auto renew had already been disabled on my account but wanted to make sure i did this with plenty of notice. They then took my money nearly £700 without consent, i called them instantly and the man on the phone said calls are recorded , great can you email me a transcript of call when we are done , he had no clue what to do and put the phone down. Bank gave me code they could use to do an immediate payment stop , called insurance back and they said they couldn’t use the code because it was the weekend, it was Friday morning. No help at all, told i would have money back by the latest Wednesday(this was Friday). They ring me Monday about why i scored them low on customer survey, girl said whoever told me money would be back by Wednesday was not truthful, she said i had to wait yet another week. Employees have no idea what they are doing , rude , clueless and each one blames the next like naughty teens. Definitely wont use them again even if they were the cheapest around. Slow money return to credit card I understand but debit card return does not take that long.

HI Annemarie,
We're so sorry to hear about this frustrating experience. It sounds incredibly stressful to have funds taken without your consent, especially when you took all the right steps to prevent it, and the conflicting information you received afterwards is completely unacceptable. We want to get this sorted out and understand exactly what went wrong with your auto renewal and the refund process.
