I was turning right from a driveway
I was turning right from a driveway onto a main road a car gave way to me as I was about to complete the maneuver a motorbike behind the car that gave way to me decided to go and overtook the car giving way to me The rider did not sound the horn swerve or stop but crashed into my car Direct Line said I went into the path of the motorbike even though when I started to turn right while the motorbike was behind the car giving way to me plus a witness confirmed that statement I have lost seven years of my no-claim bonus and my insurance went up over 100 percent

After a decade of insurance without a single claim of any kind and despite having considerable cover Direct Line Insurance have tried to manage my claim through a third part provider and made to aid insult to injury the third party made an offer directly ironic isn t it Direct Line Insurance for half the value of the item stolen The process is taking months to resolve I can t help thinking I ve been ripped off by Direct Line Insurance My claim is with their Relations team and when I rang this morning I was told that they could not even provide a timeline for resolution I guess legal action is now a serious consideration Buyer be ware as they say

Absolutely dire to say the least
Absolutely dire to say the least Not customer friendly neither were the staff there that I encountered from start to finish The complaints procedure is rigged full of loopholes cover ups The person that handled the complaint Stephen Green for customer relations was rude cocky arrogant unprofessional wouldn t let me speak to a manager or supervisor He didn t cover my complaint nor was he helpful in the slightest I was previously with RSA they were brilliant Since transferring to directline it has been crap As you have probably gathered I would not recommend

25 Days and my car is still not fixed or the claim settled After they messed up my insurance in the first place Appalling service and communication
Firstly they accidently cancelled my insurance luckily I have screenshots to prove renewal Then after an unfortunate accident on the 5th January 2023 I am still waiting for a resolution They throw a hire care at you and then ignore you It s impossible to get through on the phone line or get a response online 26 day s into the claim my car has not been viewed or fixed just referred to an engineer Steer well clear Directline are a shadow of their former self

DirectLine Car Insurance attempting a 50 increase
DirectLine Car Insurance has just attempted to increase my premium by 50 with no justification whatsoever I called them only to be told they could not reduce their quote Obviously I won t be renewing with them but it is egregious that they would even come up with this figure Avoid at all costs - and theirs is ridiculously high Never again

I got the shock of my life
I got the shock of my life after doing a car insurance quotation with DirectLine They advertise that they are not on comparison sites and I now know why Absolute rip off I m a 62 yr old with no convictions points a full clean license I have never paid over 300 for car insurance in my life DirectLine quoted 1047 00 for comprehensive cover on my current vehicle I found the same cover for 437 00 with LV Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere
