Customer Review Comments:
Whilst overseas I was burgled. The thieves forced entry to the the house causing about £2k worth of damage and stealing about £3k worth of electrical goods. The police were called by a neighbour, and they pursued (and lost) the burglars. You would think this would be a pretty straight-forward claim.
4 months later and my claim has STILL not been settled. My claim has now been handed through two external companies. The last - a loss adjuster - recommeded that my claim be settled. However, Equity Red Star are now querying their own loss adjusters findings. They apparently think the settlement was for too much! Meanwhile I have no TV or other electrical goods and I've had to pay myself to fix my busted front door.
Equity Red Star have been appaling. Their "emergency" helpline is open 9-5 Monday-Friday. Customer "Services" are rude and unhelpful. They seem to make it their business to obstruct any customer from claiming against their policies.
It's the last time I buy insurance on price!
