“Called to amend policy due to comedy premium. They would not accept a phone call - too busy. Tried Live Chat - times-out after wasting 15 minutes of 'conversation' What was happened to this once great company?”

“Home insurance. Very poor response to a claim after my wife lost her wedding ring. Everything put on Sedgwicks who handled the case officiously (i.e. treated my wife in an unpleasant way). JL eventually offered some compensation for this, but I will certainly not renew with them.”

“They won't pay out for me putting my dog down for humane reasons. They are citing policy wording that does not apply to my dog's situation to worm their way out. Avoid these parasites.”

“Stay away. My pet contracted cancer, and John lewis said it was a preexisting condition because he had a wart on his ear. He's now had an ear removal, and they are refusing to re evaluate. The thing is,it seems odd that they are up for renewal in February. Therefore looks alarmingly like they are manipulating the rules so we have to renew with them, under vastly inflatable prices. I'm disappointed you can't leave a negative score.! I'm reporting them to ombudsman.”

“Utter scammers. They do not inform you of the requirement to contact them to specify new gadgets acquired during the duration of the policy. They omit important information to protect yourself and gleefully avoid paying out what they can. AVOID.”

“I needed to update my payment details . Multiple problems with their phone system . Several calls from their team promising to contact me so details can be updated . No further contact . Just tried to update my details via phone again . Long queue/ wait. Ok . I’m cancelling my insurance with them and going to another provider. This follows on from ongoing problems re a washing machine I’ve just purchased from JL . Their customer services seem so fragmented, complicated and user unfriendly. Very disappointed in JL.”

“DON’T it’s not worth the paper it’s written on. We’ve been penalised for making a claim we didn’t make!!!’ A loss adjuster came as I was worried about a small crack in our hallway ceiling. Before the adjuster set foot in the door John Lewis decided it was a subsidence claim. Within two minutes of the loss adjuster arriving he confirmed there was no subsidence issue. It was just wear and tear. He sent an email confirming this to John Lewis and us. Initially, nobody could explain why this was a claim despite several calls. Finally, I was told it was because a loss adjuster went out to review the crack. It was to cover his cost, fair enough. But they couldn’t explain why they were still referring to it as a claim. It makes no sense. We can’t be bothered coping with the genetic reply. We are so frustrated with the unfair ridiculous service or lack of we’ve received. We are now stuck with a claim/no claim on future insurance quotes. I have been a loyal John Lewis customer for year's. They definitely need to review the company they are employing to deal with their insurance. I also can't be bothered with another generic reply. IT IS A RUBBISH COMPANY. THERE’S SO MANY RIDICULOUS EXPLANATIONS!’!!! Do yourself a favour steer clear & shop around . A disappointing review but it had to shared. Hopefully, it may help someone.”

“TERRIBLE customer service. They wont pay out and will dig intrusively into your life and use any push back as an excuse to reject your claim. They wanted to call my work colleagues to see how distraught I was when I lost my item and when I refused they rejected the claim.”

“I've been with JL insurance for two years, and still the boiler has not been serviced by them. lots of emails and calls, let down every time. I was without hot water and central heating and a water leak. No one ever responds and still no quote to fix issues, I was happy to pair for repair if they had bothered to send me a quote. I was told to claim on my insurance, which I didn't want to do. I gave up. Absolutely terrible service.”
