Cooperators Home Insurance Reviews

I was with HB Group Insurance for my home insurance before it was taken over by The Cooperator’s. I had home and condo insurance with this company for over 20 years. In the past year, I had frequent contact with the Cooperator’s while I sold my condo, moved into an apartment briefly, continuing to store my belongings, and then finally bought a house. For the first 6 months the reps were great (helpful, understanding, and “cooperative” 😊 ). I don’t know what happened but after that, I was treated very rudely on about six occasions by 4 or 5 different reps in the latter months of 2023 (Aug-Dec). I have never been so happy to switch to another service company. I cancelled my account with Cooperator’s Dec 31, 2023 due to poor customer service. I’m glad to see in these reviews that I am not the only customer treated poorly by this company. Is it now a corporate culture? I suggest to the Cooperator’s, please re-train your employees in professional “customer service” workshops and add some kindness and compassion to your corporate culture. It will go a long way for improving your sales. I won’t go into all the details of my recent experiences, but my experience of poor customer service includes: my boundaries regarding timing for a phone call not respected; I was not heard regarding my request to be emailed with follow-up communication versus being phoned while I was in a meeting; I was upset as a result of my boundaries not being respected and then my words on the phone were read into and taken out of context, and repeated back to me several times; I was referred to a “customer advocate” who I think was really another sales person, but I ended up in tears because of the way I was treated. Overall, I felt like I was being accused and ridiculed on more than one occasion. I don’t think trying to buy house insurance should be such a harrowing experience. I was unable to place a “google review” via the Cooperator’s website. Thank you for providing a place to provide a review. I wonder if Cooperator’s reads these reviews.

I called and ask if I could get a quote as my insurance was going up.
The lady that answered was so rude.
Ask what I was insuring I said I had 2 vechicle. She then proceeded to ask why I had 2 vechicle. Hmm. Then I said I also had my house. She ask all the questions and I answered. One of the questions was did I have a pool. I am an old woman and sometimes don't hear well. I said pardon I didn't catch that. She then yells A POOL A POOL A POOL. Ok I heard the first time you yelled. Said she would call back the next day with a quote as they were so busy. Well here we are 2 weeks later and still no call.
I will stay with the company I am with now maybe more money but never been treated like this.

Unfortunately, my dad passed away from COVID-19 and he has home insurance with this company. Every other company has been reasonable in helping me cancel policies because he's dead not this one. We did not even want to cancel but to insure under my dad's girlfriend instead so we tried to keep them for home insurance as she is still living in his apartment. They want you to get executorship and have a will and send them endless documents for $30 a month insurance! I was on the phone for hours with them they say they will call you back and they take your number then they ignore you hoping to keep charging a dead man's bank account! It's much easier and cheaper to just get another company never have I met a company have so much resistance to making this difficult situation worse as this one. Very unprofessional staff and won't do anything to help you even after I sent them the death certificate they say they never received it. They should change the company name to the unco-operators as they were the only company without common sense and compassion.
