They cancelled my policy because my VISA was compromised twice in one year

by Karen Christensen on Jan 26, 2024
2 out of 5 stars

Sonnet's rules are outrageous. Credit card fraud is rampant, everyone knows that. In 2023, my VISA had to be cancelled/re-mailed to me twice, in March and in November. As a result, 2 of my monthly payments of $66 didn't go through. I called Sonnet with the new VISA number after the fact in each case, and when I called the second time they said, 'Sorry, your policy is being cancelled.' Really? A customer with a perfect 900 credit score is cancelled? Outrageous.

Don't put in a claim!

If you never have to put in a claim then this is a great company when it comes to accepting your premiums paid. In the recent past (have 3 home policies), I have had 3 claims, 2 minor, and one larger. The larger one is still going on after 1 year with 6 different claims agents involved over the year. Adjusters don't care, their managers seldom care, the client has to spend hundreds of hours accumulating information in their format, to their satisfaction, and still has to wage a never ending battle for fair coverage settlement. Communications is terrible with this company in the way that it appears they are 90% understaffed. They also like to make up rules and guidelines from thin air without any substantiation.

Terrible customer service.
Impossible to contact them and when finally someone answers the phone they won't let you speak.
Shame for this company. Stay away.

Canadians pay, on average, approximately $20 per month in tenants insurance. Do you rent or plan to rent a property and want to reduce insurance costs? We will help you get a cheap tenant insurance quote today.

Due to weather and rain on August 24th and power outage for about 8 hours our sumpump stopped working and our basement flooded, today is September 2nd and we live in a smelly molded house and no action been taken. l wish l could rate them minus 5, this will cause health issues to us and it's serious.

Convenient but expensive

We had a condo insurance policy with Sonnet and the rate continued to increase year over year. This November we had to renew the policy and decided that paying $88/month for a 2-bedroom-condo is too much. So we found something much cheaper - finished going with Square One Insurance for $57/month for an identical policy.

I can not deny that Sonnet is very convenient as you can do everything online avoiding unnecessary calls but at the end it turned out to be too expensive, once we started comparing the prices. A good decision.

A bit of unpleasant experience - two days after cancelling our Sonnet policy (I cancelled before it was renewed for another year) I got an email from them saying that I owe them over $950 for the new policy - that did not make me happy. I called them the next day just to find out that it is an automatically generated email and, since I cancelled before the renewal, I do not owe them anything. But that is something that should not have happened. At least, the lady on the phone was very helpful and friendly and the phone waiting time was not long: 3-4 minutes.
