wanting to renew my home contents insurance i decided to look for a quote on the swinton web site and i did get a good quote after i had put all my details in on the internet when i went to pay for it i put my card details in etc and it wouldn’t let me go any further upon ringing swinton a lady called gill tried to help me but to no avail the day after i got a call from gill to say that the middlesbrough branch had there systems down and had been down since tuesday (i wanted to renew insurance on the thursday) i find it diabolicle that computer systems can be down for a long period especially when people need to update or renew there insurance etc with swinton i eventually got it sorted only to find that when i got all the policy through the door that there were a number of errors ….cant swinton do anything right ? my boyfriend had to ring them up on my behalf as i have a speech problem and they did change it but all of this was really unnessasary and could of been avoided i just hope that when my policy runs out in a years time your computer systems are all updated
For all the problems that occurred to me i would like a written apology and some sort of compensation as i had to leave my house without insurance for 3 days anything could of happened in that time and i wouldn’t of been covered

Hello I would like to make an official complaint regarding swintons as I was insured with your company before and after I was in a car accident I could not get my car fixed because they voided my policy due to the fact they said I did not inform them of my job which I know I did when I called to insure my new car in march this year. Due to the incompetence I now insure with another company who have recently increased our payments as due to this voided policy which I feel should never have been voided in the first place as one of your employees did not pass on the new information to the insurer. I would appreciate if I can get some help regarding this matter and would like to inform you I will be in touch with the ombudsman regarding this matter.
kind regards
lisa

I received a letter from swinton to tell me that I had been charged twice for car breakdown. Having rang up to claim the refund being offered I find myself still waiting for the refund after nearly six weeks. After many phone calls and keep being told that it as been processed I find myself being letdown by them. On my most recent call I asked them If they could send it by bank transfer but was told it would take up to ten days to clear which I find unacceptable if it was the other way round and i owed them money then that would be totally different, totally and utterly fed up with the whole thing

An interesting discussion may be worth comment. I’m sure that you can write read more about this topic, it will not be described as a taboo subject but typically everyone is insufficient to chat on such topics. To another. Cheers
