Cooperators Home Insurance Reviews

We have house insurance with Cooperators. We had very bad weather one day. Wind and rain in Windsor, ON. We woke up to our main floor family room with the floor flooded. We had never experienced this. We purchased the house 6 years ago. It ended up being a leak in the roof. We had no visible way of knowing this until the floor flooded and we exposed the wall. We made the claim and it was denied because of a seeping water clause. You pay so much money every month on time. You get insurance thinking they have our back. There always seems that they can deny you with the fine print. It's very upsetting. Why do you have insurance I wonder sometimes.

The local office in Clarenville NL is just plain incompetent! I have reached out the office for over a month now to renew home insurance that was due on February 15, 2018. Now it's March 1st and they still haven't got their act together. Just today received registered mail stating my policy would be cancelled in 15 days. I have already made the first monthly payment but somehow they seem to have misplaced it... Trying to reach anyone at the Clarenville office is near impossible and when you do, they never have any answers... keep putting you off. I am at my wit's end. Never again will I get insurance with the Cooperators!

After only 1 year of being with Cooperators, they increased my premium by 15%! Did my home increase in value? No. Did I add features or reduce my deductible? No.

I did lose my 5% "new signing discount" so that leaves 10% less. After calling Cooperators they claim it's because of "all these new features that you're getting." More likely, it's because you brought me in at a low rate and will continue to increase my annual premium by 10%. Could you imagine if public insurance/utilities did this?

After a fierce windstorm damaged our roof in St. John's, it took three site visits and three reports for Cooperator's "preferred company" to do their job, they had to keep returning because their reports fell short, missing photos and measurements. Cooperators took underlay out of one of the many reports and told me it was not covered. I checked my policy, called the City and told them it was. Finally, I got a respectable roofer to do a quote and assessment.After 18 days of calls and e-mails, the adjuster sent me a nine-page report with six pictures of our house from many angles and measurement diagrams, then announced that the area of our roof was much smaller than that quoted by the roofer. It also was much smaller than that quoted by their preferred company. Turns out on page 9 of the report that the drone measurements are just the area, but substantial allowances of extra shingles should be made for risers, wastage, caps, valleys and so forth to actually do the job. I escalated to a claims manager and got the whole thing settled the same day. All this over a $5,000 roofing job.

8 Jun asked local office in Strathroy why premium for home insurance had increased by 22 %, they would look into and contact head office. 21 Jun, they had not contacted anybody and gave lame excuses citing cut in "discount" for new policy of 5% plus increase in premiums, however when asked for figures did not know. Then promised they would contact "underwriter" and call me. Received call now ts a 30 dollar discount loss and increase in premium and I can actually talk to an agent on 24 Jun! My original premium for dwelling was 357 now increased to 411 dollars or 54 dollar increase. All I want to know is why and why does it take so long to get an answer? When I asked for tel no of district office I was refused and told company policy I must speak to agent first, pathetic service avoid Co-operators if you can, they seem to think your at their beck and call instead of remembering about customer service!

They messed up on my Account and Changed my Address without me knowing and charged me then charged me again to change back.
Also changed policy for House that I did not have and charged me and never put it back to Apartment Insurance.
Will Cancel with them and don't ever go with them again.
Some Idiot put the wrong Credit Card Number and they charged me NSF for $25 x 2 = + = $66.84 That I now have to pay. Also they said if a problem comes up the policy is they don't contact your Branch or the Client.

After being assured by the agent that I was covered for everything and being sucked in to that warm fuzzy feeling, I found Co-Operators to be full of it. I insure everything I own with Co-Operators and have never had a claim. I pay them over $14,000 a year in premiums.( I own a lot of stuff.)
I had about an inch of water in my basement when some of my neighbours had 6 feet. It came in through a window well. Minimal damage but I thought I would use this a a test for them. No one from Co-Operators ever even came to my house when I got a letter saying I was denied the claim because the damage was caused by rain water. Co-operators is history with me now. Don't believe anything they say about multiple lines of insurance will get you better treatment. Remember NO insurance company is your friend. You have to play hardball with them

When I called to advise I was getting the foundation repaired my insurance went up over $500. I was not putting it through insurance but asking if I needed any additional insurance while the construction was occuring, which I was advised I didn't.

I feel that I was given false information which affected my decision regarding a claim. I had a claim which was comprehensive. The representative advised me that it would be a bad decision to put it through insurance as rates would increase and the claim wasn't worth putting through. I trusted them and didn't put through the claim and drove around with over $1200 damage to rear end as I couldn't afford to fix out of pocket. When I switched insurance companies, I was advised that they should not have advised that and my rate would not have increased.

when I had a house fire, they were helpful
