“Awful insurance company Awful insurance company. I passed last year and they quoted £2500 which I paid for the year and got my renewal quote this year which again got paid until they asked me to send my licence information that they had already been sent from year one. They then sent me an email detailing how they had me down as being passed for 3 years instead of one and I had to pay £660 on top of what I’ve paid this year. This was also just set up to all come out of my account at once in 2 weeks. I am a student full time, this type of thing can financially devastate people, especially students with little warning. I think it’s also important to note that I have a 0.9L car and I have no claims.”

“I have been trying to help my elderly Aunt with her insurance claim. I have been trying to talk to somebody for over three weeks. I have provided proof that I have POA so I can discuss her affairs and absolutely nobody will speak to me or put me through to someone who can help. Absolutely diabolical customer care.”

“Like many people, I was attracted to Admiral by their slick marketing and promises of high returns on investments. They presented themselves as a reputable brokerage with a wide range of financial instruments and a user-friendly platform. I was eager to grow my investment portfolio, and Admiral seemed like the perfect partner to help me achieve my financial goals.After making a few small deposits and seeing some initial gains, I decided to increase my investment with Admiral. Over the course of several weeks, I gradually invested a total of $78,000. Everything seemed fine at first. The platform showed promising returns, and my account manager was constantly in touch, encouraging me to invest more.However, things started to take a turn for the worse when I attempted to withdraw some of my profits. My withdrawal requests were either ignored or met with various excuses. The account manager, who had been so attentive before, suddenly became evasive. I was told that I needed to pay additional fees or taxes before I could access my funds. It was at this point that I realized something was terribly wrong. Despite my best efforts to communicate with Admiral and resolve the issue, it became clear that I had been scammed. My $78,000 was gone, and there was no way I could get it back on my own. The feeling of helplessness was overwhelming. I had worked hard for that money, and seeing it disappear was devastating. In the midst of my despair, I came across Trievals, a company specializing in recovering funds lost to scams and fraudulent brokers. At first, I was skeptical—after all, I had just been scammed and didn’t want to fall victim to another potential fraud. However, after reading positive reviews and testimonials from others who had been in similar situations, I decided to reach out to Trievals for help.From the very beginning, the team at Trievals was professional, empathetic, and highly knowledgeable. They understood the emotional toll that being scammed can take on a person, and they were committed to helping me get my money back. Trievals explained their process in detail, ensuring that I knew what to expect at every stage.They began by conducting a thorough investigation into Admiral and their fraudulent activities. Using their expertise in financial forensics, they were able to trace my funds and gather evidence to build a strong case. Trievals handled all communications with Admiral on my behalf, applying legal pressure where necessary. The process wasn’t quick or easy, but Trievals kept me informed every step of the way. Their persistence paid off, and after several months of hard work, they successfully recovered the full $78,000 that I had lost to Admiral.”

“A few months ago, I invested a big amount in an inaccurate site, which later turned into losing my life-saving. Bsbforensic.com did a great job helping me after a big fund scam. The company instructed me on the way to negotiate with all entities in a chain, resulting in a 100% refund I'm thankful to Bsbforensic.com”

“Awful awful insurer to deal with Awful awful insurer to deal with. First they never ever get back to you, despite being told on the phone someone would contact me to discuss claim and complaint. Their excuse when I asked them to investigate was they couldn't locate the call recording so they can't comment/investigate. They really can't be bothered. Just got sent a generic letter that looked like a template someone was suppose to delete/select certain parts that person sending didn't even bother to do. Policies totally misleading, they don't honour hire car option that you pay for on the policy. Complaints process a joke. No confidence in them as an insurer, I went with them as they were supposed to give good customer service, but have to say worst service ever from an insurer, never have had any of these issues with other insurance companies/claims. DO NOT use Admiral, you will regret it if you ever have to make a claim, they really do not care about their customers at all.”

“We took out house insurance with them and payed for one year only in advance. Admiral automatically made it an auto renewal policy without letting us know and when the year we payed for ended and no new policy payment was made, they charged a cancellation fee. Seems to have happened to lots of other people online too. I actually tried to pay the cancellation fee when I got the letter but when I called the number I was always put through to someone in India who didn't understand the situation and then hung up. This happened 4 times so I thought it was a scam, especially since I never select auto renewal because they always double the price. Because I tried multiple times to pay, discuss it with someone and was so suspicious it was a scam, I gave up. I've now just had an email through from a debt collector saying I owe money and my credit score has been affected because I haven't payed the fee. Absolute joke. Cheers Admiral for nothing.”

“I advise that you stay away from using this site for trading or investment activities. They have a talent for employing deceitful strategies to convince people to part with significant amounts of money. I personally invested about $83,050, which was later confiscated. It was quite disheartening to find out that I had been tricked and lost my money. Thankfully, A M D A R K L i M I T E D // C0M was able to assist me in retrieving my funds from these dishonest companies.”

“You cannot contact them at sensible hours, they automatically review and they hike the costs up. In comparison my wife's Tiguan is costing £473 on auto renewal vs cost of £830 from Admiral. What is going on with this company? I also had a no fault claim against BT Openreach, for hitting cables draping across an A road in the dark. Despite dashcam footage, police attending and BT Openreach acknowledging the claim, Admiral have not been able to recover my £675 excess.... Useless insurance company and avoid, which in previous years they have been good.”

“I have multicover with admiral and to date always received good service. Sadly a 90 minute call that resulted in mis-selling and quotes from the sales team given only minutes previously not being honoured followed by an offer to provide invalid insurance (provisional licence cover offered knowing my daughter has passed her test) I know longer trust admiral and will be removing all items under risk at the end of the policy. I await a formal response to my complaint.”

“Admiral are great until you want to claim. I insured my home and contents which included two tvs each insured for £1500 each. One was accident damaged significantly so I put a claim in. First their telephone number is working. Then to load via the portal the process is longwinded and not clearly explained. After a couple of days of trying to get sorted they finally offered me £500 less a £300 excess. For a 65 inch smart 4K tv. They claim that is like for like. Why would I pay to insure a TV for £1500 if they can just con me when coming to claim. Avoid them if you don’t want appalling customer service.”

“One of the worst Insurance company ever I had experienced. For the minor scratch,the third party insurance was submitted and the claim they approved was more than the vehicle cost itself. Since I'm a new car user, I wasn't aware much about this insurance company and I'm sure they are doing some scams for sure.”

“Flipkart launched the Admiral Tv and it's so so horrible. The back light bleeding is so much worse than any other brands I had tried. It's so bad that I thought it's damaged. When I asked for a refund the response was " This is not damaged, this is how the tv is." Now I am stuck with a crappy 43 inch tv taking up space.”

“Admiral make false and misleading claims when advertising their home insurance policies, namely that they will safeguard consumers from loss and damage which results from criminal activity. I have recently claimed after I was burgled. I provided clear video evidence to the Police and Admiral of criminal activity. The police dealt with the crime swiftly as a burglary - they have arrested and charged an individual. Admiral on the other hand worked to make convenient assumptions and speculations resulting in them refusing to pay out anything. I am now left with a bill of five figures and nothing to show for 7 years of work. Having been a loyal Admiral customer for car and home insurance for many years. Admiral claim to care about customer service but when they have opportunities to look after their customers in need they decided to put corporate interests first and simply state they are 'following process'. Avoid at all costs - awful company.”
