Terrible Claim experience.

Still no call from an adjuster. Cannot live in my apartment. They are nice and caring when they sell the plan but when it the time to claim they don’t know you.
Just called their customer relations department. Waste of time. No empathy whatsoever!
Recently I was robbed in front of my house. I went into shock. My blood pressure, heart rate went very high. A few days later I called The Personal Insurance Company to report the loss of my necklace. I spoke to a very nice person from The Personal. She took all the information and SHE sensed that I was starting to not feel well while I was on the phone. She told me to relax and she would call me back. She did call me back later and asked how I was feeling. I told her that while I was on the phone, I started having trouble breathing and my heart was racing. Stress does crazy things to the body. The representative had been very understanding and patient with me. She processed my claim and a settlement on replacing my necklace was done by the end of the following week. The Personal was great to deal with. I would definitely rate them very high. They work in the best interest of their client. Their staff was very sincere. She knew I was upset and she kept that in mind while she worked with me in settling my claim. Being robbed definitely affected me. I felt violated and she knew that. She helped my getting over this trauma. Thank you so much!
I had a very negative experience with Personal Insurance recently when I had to make a basement water damage claim. First of all, there was over almost two hours wait when I had to phone them. Secondly, their adjuster was ill-mannered, difficult and very slow in finalizing the claim. I will be switching to another company soon! Not recommended at all.
Impossible to contact and get help. Took me almost a month to get help for a flood the first time denied claim said they didn’t but approved the same claim later? When had concerns about anything you’ll never get past the contracted adjuster as they seem to be the gatekeepers of the company. They shared non-essential personal information with other agencies and anything they provide will be done from an office 1000s away by contracted companies whom if you have any problems with will be your problems, not the Personal's or any of their partners in profit. Run now or cancel your policies while you can
I had a heavy water leakage in my house due to rain. I called Personals Insurance. They sent a guy who went on the roof and came back with some pictures of the roof saying they will bring drying equipment. I called the next day as two rooms were soaking wet and with every rainwater dripped in. The guy sent by Personal said he doesn't have drying equipment and that he will call when he has it. I called multiple times but with the same reply. I had to buy heavy dehumidifiers and fans to dry up my house. I then hired a roofer to fix my roof. There was no reply for exactly two weeks from Personal's contractor. After two weeks when the house was completely dried and the roof was fixed the person called saying he is bringing drying equipment. This was ridiculous… I told him I couldn't keep house wet for two weeks for him to find drying equipment and I did not make a claim. Now I got a call from Personal saying I have to pay the deductible of $500 because I did not make a claim and I have to pay the deductible. Please be aware ...your house can fall dawn and this company will have not to do anything but you will pay the deductible. It is total FRAUD !!!

We had flood since middle last year and the personal insurance haven't completed our claims up till today. The Adjuster is terrible and the worst I have ever seen. Flood is not what anyone want to experience and aside the trauma and the stress from that, working with this useless adjuster assigned our file is the worst thing and the worst person anyone can have. Since years we have been with personal insurance, this is our first claim and I must say, it is a terrible experience. Up until this moment, our claim has not been concluded and our adjuster available. Communication with this adjuster is terrible and frustrating. We called several times and left messages but she hadly return our calls. We sent email and no response. Even when she promised to call or send email, that didn't happen. She doesn't care what we are experiencing as a family. No empathy and I must say that is indeed inhumane. To worsen the experience, they have increased our premium since 3 months ago without completing our claim. I hope someone with professional ethics and good human relational skills can reach out to us. This is new year,we want to move past all this nonsense and get back to our normal life as a busy family.
Thanks.
