Poor ratings system
I recently was looking for pet insurance through various comparison sites and found one company that had a 5 star Defaqto review which I thought was good however when I got a quotation I found it to be more than double that of any other company I contacted Defaqto and they said they did not base their rating on cost at all only service I would therefore not trust ratings from Defaqto as their ratings seem to be somewhat poor as they don t look at a very important feature cost

What is Defacto
What is Defacto What it is not is a rating on price or service There are plenty of websites that say what it is not but no one is saying what it is So question what to do measure they measure core something They update on 1st Feb every year They do everything EXCEPT tell you what they actually measure What an absolute con This is just in industry marketing

They don t deserve even a 1 star rating
Defaqto com don t deserve even a 1 star rating however it is required to make a review The reason for this is that Defaqto is backing GoGirl insurance company to support their scam tactics They need to look into all these negative feedback from angry customers and understand their frustration with GoGirl insurance GoGirl is a scam and a fraudulent company operating online only to lure people into buying insurance policies by using big companies as a back up to cover their scam side Customers be warned don t be fooled with the star rating from this particular company Do your research and cover your backs prior to buying any insurance policy Do not trust star ratings from this company at all

Beware - not a consumer rating
Beware this isnt a consumer rating most consumer dont get to contribute to the score It s nothing like TrustPilot where consumers contribute to the rating I have asked several time for a link to add my feedback but have never been given one

Their rating s are worthless
Over the years I ve trusted the experience and opinions of others including slick looking reviewers like Defaqto On more than one occasion I ve had very poor experiences with companies rated highly by them On one such occasion I contacted them to share my experience and was told that their criteria for judging things are not I think what a normal person values So be careful and don t place much trust in their ratings

This is the biggest con ever
This is the biggest con ever Do not take any notice of these ratings I have been selecting insurance providers on these ratings and often paying more due to the higher rating I selected Home Protect avoid like the plaque COVID for buildings insurance on a second home I experienced a burst pipe in October and it is now January and I am still nowhere near having it sorted I don t even know the process status and they keep getting things wrong like not assessing the correct room I called DEFAQTO as I wanted to feedback on this experience only to find out it is nothing to do with customer - they have criteria and look at what the companies offer do nothing to do with how they actually execute it

Defaqto does not rate on company s ethics
Defaqto rating system is very limited They do not rate Regulatory - Ethical - Legal aspects when assessing a company They do not research the company to ensure that it is adhering to FCA guidelines or consider how the company treats its customers They rate only on policy features A company can also BUY a 5 star rating When i pointed out the problem for consumers when choosing a company based on the features of a policy alone Vitality health insurance i was informed by Tom Whelan we are not planning to expand our product reviews Defaqto needs to update and revise its archaic rating system and stop selling 5 star ratings
