Was doubtful but turned out well.
After reading these reviews I was dreading things. I read the reviews after id sent my phone to them so needless to say my bum was twitching. However, first off my phone was lost in the post by DPD. No surprise there they're somehow worse than Evri. After 4 days the tracking was still showing id dropped it off, but it wasn't collected.
Rang Assurant, got a very helpful lady who raised a dispute for me and said they would be in touch 1 to 3 days. Ok that's fair I thought takes time to look into it.
Next day I wake up to a missed call and an email saying a replacement phone was being sent out to me. Called them and was told id be receiving a Class A refurbished handset. The following day (today) I collected my phone and its brand spanking new in a sealed Samsung box! Checked the phone battery cycle count is 0 and date of first use is today.
So from my initial phone call (Monday) I now have a brand new phone (Wednesday)
Based on this i cannot say a bad word about them.

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience, especially the frustration of receiving a non-working device and then being left without a proper phone while the courier investigation is ongoing. I completely understand how inconvenient this is, and it’s not the level of service we want you to receive.
When a dummy or incorrect device is delivered, we’re required to complete an investigation with DPD before we can issue a replacement, but I appreciate this has taken far longer than expected in your case. We’d like to look into this urgently and see what can be done to move things forward.
If you can respond to our message, we’ll be able to review the investigation status and work to resolve this as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience, and again, I’m sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.
ASSURANT IS A TERRIBLE COMPANY!!
Complaint ref: 279174100326
My iPhone smashed and fell into the rain. It was sent to this company for repair/replacement. Sent it off, it came back ‘repaired’. The phone kept switching off. Sent it off again, phone came back ‘with no fault found’. I went to pay for my parking at the station and it failed again. I got a PCN because of this and had to pay £60!! They sent out a replacement phone, on receipt of the old phone. Now, a few weeks later the battery is failing in the replacement phone. The error message says ‘none genuine battery’. It goes from 100% to 1% in a nanosecond. This is the second time I’ve had to put in a complaint about this company. So, they are now sending me ANOTHER refurbished phone esp ‘picked from their Apple Store stock’. I will now be on my FOURTH repaired/replacement phone. I need to wipe this phone but it won’t even stay on long enough to enable me to do so!!
This company have told me there was ‘no fault found with the previous phones’. They are either calling me a lier or a twit. I am neither, and have had iPhones since the very beginning.
This company should lose its contract with my bank, who I pay my insurance to. I will complain to my bank also. This makes Nationwide look really bad too, as they have given the contract to this company to deal with their device insurance.
I will definitely take this to the Financial Ombudsman if the 4th repair/replacement turns out to be faulty too.
They DO NOT adequately test their parts and phones before they send them out.
TERRIBLE SERVICE!!

I’m truly sorry to read about the ongoing issues you’ve experienced with your device and the frustration this has caused. This is far from the standard of service we aim to provide, and I completely understand how disappointing it must be to have multiple repair or replacement attempts without a lasting resolution.
I can see that you’ve had to send your phone back several times, including receiving a replacement device that has since developed a battery fault. I’m also sorry to hear about the impact this has had on your day-to-day use, including the parking fine you mentioned. I appreciate how stressful and inconvenient this situation has been, and you’re absolutely right to expect better.
Your feedback about the communication you received, the inconsistency in fault findings, and the concerns about the quality of the previous repairs and replacements is being taken seriously. I can assure you that all devices and parts should meet strict quality and functional standards before being returned to customers, and I apologise that this has not been your experience.
You’ve mentioned that this is now your second complaint and that you have an active complaint under reference 279174100326. Our complaints team will carry out a full investigation and ensure you receive a response with clear findings and next steps. We also want to make sure that the replacement device being sent to you is thoroughly checked so this doesn’t happen again.
I understand your frustration with the process so far, and I’m genuinely sorry that you’ve felt let down. If you would like us to review anything further while your complaint is ongoing, please respond to our message, we’re here to help and want to make sure this is resolved properly for you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and again, I’m sorry for the inconvenience and stress this has caused.

My phone had water damage
My phone had water damage, I lodged the claim with a very proactive staff and I was assured that everything will be dealt with quickly but it went downhill from there. Following which I have had to send back my phone 3 times as the issue has not been fixed, infact there appears to be a fault with the camera, which the phone does not recognise, (looks like it has been replaced or tampered with) the face id does works intermittently and the mobile data does not work!! I have medical issues and need to have my SOS app working and available which I can not do as out of the wifi at home, the mobile data does not connect. I got it checked by the Apple Store, and they have given report on these faults confirming ALL of the above.
Now, for the 4th time, I have written to the complaints team and await the response. I am so frustrated with this company, the staff i spoke to 3 times subsequently were rude and not interested! It could be they get so many complaints that they are fed up!

I’m really sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you’ve experienced with your phone and the frustration this has caused. This is certainly not the level of service we want any customer to receive, and I completely understand how concerning it must be especially given that you rely on your device for medical reasons.
It’s disappointing to hear that the fault has persisted after multiple repair attempts, and that you’ve had to send the device back several times without the issue being resolved. Your feedback about the camera, Face ID and mobile data not functioning properly is extremely important, and I appreciate you taking the time to share the Apple assessment with us. This will help us review the situation fully.
I’m also very sorry to hear that some of your recent interactions with our team came across as rude or uninterested. That’s not acceptable, and your experience will be passed on to the relevant managers so this can be addressed appropriately.
I understand you’ve contacted our complaints team again for the fourth time, and we will make sure this is fully investigated. Please rest assured that your case is being taken seriously.
If you’re able to share your details with us directly, we’d be grateful for the opportunity to look into this and ensure the right steps are taken to resolve the faults with your device once and for all.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, I’m genuinely sorry for the inconvenience and distress this has caused.
Please avoid at all costs!
Please avoid! If any company offers you warranty, check it isn’t Assurant, they do nothing to ensure you are getting the service you pay for and they have a very condescending tone and talk to you like they are dealing with a personal matter. After multiple calls to get help they cannot provide you with a garage that actually provides repairs for your issue, multiple calls to so many garages and the don’t even bother to help until you are forced to go to the main dealer and pay 3x the amount Assurant will pay for diagnostics. This was not the impression I had when I took this out with cinch and they should do better to check which company they work with to provide extended warranty. They say they have agreed prices with garages they work with so it seems like they are planning to not pay for any claims from main dealer as they don’t seem bothered. They should have better processes in place for customers who are struggling to find a garage to help with the issue. They just take your money and expect you to do the work and judging by the other reviews, they won’t pay anything out! I wish I kept my money, they should be investigated by the FCA! Not worth the money! Look for an alternative! Will be raising with relevant parties

We appreciate how challenging it can be when you’re trying to find a suitable repairer, and I’m sorry that this process wasn’t as smooth as it should have been.

Absolutely appalling company - don’t send your phone here
Absolutely appalling company to deal with and will never use again. Would rather pay for the repair. Phone taken to shop for a broken camera. The battery was below 80% capacity so agreed to change. A non-Apple battery was used as a replacement leaving a permanent error message on my phone which wasn’t there beforehand. The quality of the battery is worse than what was replaced. I made a complaint and advised it’s in the contract that they use non genuine parts of equal quality and standard both of which the product falls short off. I was offered a replacement battery but I’m still left with a worthless phone as companies won’t touch it with an error message. In my view this is not a like for like repair as the error message is considered in my view a default and unless removed is not a satisfactory repair. I have taken to Apple for a genuine battery who want double the cost of the battery as it’s got a non genuine part in. I wrote to assurant who don’t want to know and don’t believe they are in breach of both contract and consumer laws. The product provided is not fit for purpose and it’s a substandard repair leaving your with defective phone and product. The only way to resolve this is using a genuine item. Don’t touch this company. Fobbed off and instead of dealing with the complaint push you towards making a claim though the financial ombudsman which takes months.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been for you. I completely understand how disappointing it is to feel that the repair has left your device in a worse position than before.
To clarify, our policies do allow for the use of high‑quality, non‑branded parts when carrying out repairs. These components must meet required standards, and many manufacturers, including Apple, will display a notification whenever a non‑branded battery is installed. This message doesn’t affect the functionality of the device, but I appreciate that it can be worrying and that some repair providers choose not to work on devices with this notification present.
I’m also sorry to hear that the replacement battery did not meet your expectations. We offered a further replacement to resolve this, but I understand you feel that only a genuine Apple part would achieve a satisfactory outcome.
Your complaint is currently being handled through the correct process, and I’m sorry if it felt like you were being directed elsewhere. You are always entitled to escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service, but our aim is to resolve matters directly wherever possible, and we remain committed to reviewing your concerns thoroughly.
If you’d like us to revisit the repair assessment or discuss alternative options, please respond to our message, so we can ensure this is escalated.
Thank you again for your feedback, we genuinely want to help reach a fair resolution.
Another not enough to determine
I must have forgotten that it was 2026 and a Fault code on a car, then taken to a garage and confirmed it’s faulted means the parts not faulted. It’s wear. Needed quite a bit of work but the main problem was a fault with the timing chain but they cannot do anything because it could be wear. The only way that it could be a fault then must be when it damages the engine in a catastrophic way and they would probably say it was due to wear. I’m done with warranty. Not claimed in nearly 3 year to get this. I didn’t realise what people was saying when they said ‘it’s not worth the paper it’s written on’. Now I do!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear how disappointed you feel with the outcome of your claim, I completely appreciate how frustrating it is when a repair isn’t covered, especially after years of paying for a warranty without needing to make a claim.
Timing chain issues can be complex to diagnose, and although a fault code or symptom may be present, the underlying cause can vary. As part of the assessment, the garage and our technical team need to determine whether the failure is due to a sudden mechanical fault or gradual wear and tear. Your cover only includes sudden mechanical failure, so if the evidence suggests wear-related deterioration, we are unable to approve the repair under the policy terms.
I understand this distinction can feel technical and disappointing, particularly when significant work is required. We never want customers to feel that we are looking for reasons not to help, decisions are based solely on the findings from the inspection and the wording of the warranty.
If you would like us to review the claim again or discuss the assessment in more detail, we’re more than happy to do so. Please respond to our message so we can ensure this is looked into thoroughly,
Thank you again for your feedback, we genuinely want to help where we can.

I had an Mobile Phone insurance policy with Assurant (via Llyods Bank)and lost my phone during an international journey. I registered my claim on 12th December 2025, and as of today, 28th February 2026, my claim has still not been processed.
This is the first time in the UK that I have faced such an issue Getting a service . Later, when I checked online, I realised that I am not the only one many people seem to have had similar experiences with assurant .
They keep asking for documentation, and after a few days, they request the same documents again. There appears to be no proper coordination within the company. Each time, I receive emails from different representatives. The customer support has been unhelpful and has shown a very rude attitude.
My claim number is 55174252. This experience is negatively affecting the reputation of Lloyds Bank, which is associated with this insurance. Beware of Assurant(no assurance)

Rough start but well saved by Assurant
An edit to my original review. As promised, I have risen up from 1 star thanks to your efforts to rectify my issue.
My initial experience: Fast turnaround, but the phone was returned with a low-quality, non-genuine screen, a blurry front camera, and poor fitting (clicking/bowing).
Post return of my phone: Initial complaints were dismissed by Assurant, claiming the repair met their terms and conditions despite the clear physical defects.
Post 1 star review: Assurant reached out to me requesting some contact details. A week or so later, they emailed me to discuss next steps. Replies we're fast, often replying within the same 30 minute window from my last email. Within a phone call, a replacement phone was ordered on a "Swap it next day" plan.
Today, the phone arrived. I handed the DPD driver my old phone and he handed me this new one, it was that easy. This time, this phone is 100% perfect. 100% battery health, clean body and back glass and camera, No knock off, none genuine screen that made things difficult to see. No fitment issues, clear front camera. All my original issues were gone. I have tested all the features on the phone and they all work.
I put this at a 3 stars, as I'm not sure whether to give this 3 or 4 after this. I just wish you guys repaired or replaced my phone properly the first time around, without the hassle. But afterwards, you guys we're quick to rectify the issue, communication was great and the swap was done in a way that didn't leave me without a phone again. The phone that arrived is basically brand new too.

I’m really sorry to hear how disappointed you are with your recent repair experience. We understand how important it is for any device returned to you to be functioning correctly, and I appreciate how frustrating it must feel to receive your phone back with the concerns you’ve described.
I’ve reviewed your case and the feedback you provided, including the points you raised about the screen quality, fitting, and camera performance. Your device was repaired in line with the terms of the insurance policy, and our repair partner has confirmed that all parts fitted meet the required standard. However, we absolutely don’t want you to be left with a device that you feel is worse than before, so I’m sorry that the outcome hasn’t met your expectations.
If the screen is flickering, appears loose, or if the camera isn't functioning normally, these are issues we would expect to be investigated further. To help us address this properly, we can arrange for your device to be re‑assessed so our technicians can take another look at the concerns you’ve raised. This will allow us to check the fitting, inspect the components used and ensure everything is operating as it should.
I’m also sorry that you felt the communication around the repair options wasn’t clear. We take that feedback seriously and will share it with the relevant teams, as we want every customer to understand decisions around parts, repair timescales and what to expect once a device is returned.
If you’re open to it, please respond to our message so we can ensure this is passed to the right team. We do want to get this resolved for you.

Terrible customer service. Nationwide Flex Plus
Terrible customer service.
They originally told me it would take 5 working days to process my claim. We are now 12 days in and I called for an update. I was told they are missing some proof of where I had been the day my phone was stolen. I sent this proof 5 days ago. Then recieved an email saying I had not sent it (which I had). I was then told today they couldn't open an iphone photo on an email.... What sort of software are you using windows 2004?
The whole process has been stressful to say the least.
I have now gone and purchased a brand new iphone for £1100. They had better hope this one doesn't get stolen or it will be costing them another thousand pounds to replace it. I have purchased this phone hoping that my phone can be replaced and I can send this back to apple within 14 days.
It has taken them 4 days to deal with any questions you have put to them.
I have now raised a formal complaint. Suprise suprise nobody can take the complaint so I will be called within 48 hours.

I’m not sure whether the company director even reads these Trustpilot reviews — but if they do, they should seriously reflect on how this company is treating its customers.
My experience has been nothing short of exhausting. I had issues two years ago, yet I still continued paying for Monzo Max in good faith. Unfortunately, that loyalty has not been reciprocated.
My phone was stolen over a month ago and my claim is still ongoing. Each time I provide the documents requested, I’m asked for more. The process feels unnecessarily prolonged and extremely frustrating. Instead of feeling supported as a paying customer, I feel like I’m being put through endless hoops.
I have already sought legal advice regarding this matter and am in the process of formally escalating my complaint with all supporting evidence. I have also spoken to others who describe similar experiences.
This situation needs urgent attention and proper accountability. Customers deserve transparency, fairness, and timely resolutions — not prolonged delays and repeated document requests.

Claim number – 56005867
This company truly is shameless. For Halifax to tolerate their woeful record is disheartening. For 2 months I have been trying to get my claim sorted and its been a nightmare.
My phone camera is broken and not working. They requested documents to confirmed my ownership and I supplied by scanning and emailing them. But they insist I must take pictures and email them. I asked, how do you take pictures and email from a phone whose camera is broken but no reply from them.
They are so determined not to accept my claim.
Please beware of Assurant( I call them - Nossurant). Do not take insurant product with the Halifax or Assurant. I will be changing my Ultimate Reward (0 reward) Current Account with the Halifax Bank.

My partners head gasket failed and needed to be replaced, she had a warranty with available car however once the repairs were being done by the rac garage they came back and said it wasn’t sudden mechanical failure so would not be covering the £2500 bill. The garage have told them it was sudden mechanical failure and they’re still saying they won’t pay out. Theyll do anything they can do get out of paying for claims. We even spoke to someone and was told it was down to wear and tear, I’m not sure how a headgasket can be down to wear and tear they’re clueless. Avoid avoid avoid

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about the experience you and your partner have had. I completely understand how stressful and frustrating an unexpected repair bill can be, especially when there’s a difference of opinion between the repairing garage and the warranty assessor.
We never want our customers to feel that we are avoiding a claim, and I’m sorry if it’s come across that way.

Absolute thieves! Stay away.
Absolute thieves – avoid at all costs!
I took out a 3-year warranty policy in June 2025 and paid upfront via my car finance. Unfortunately, my circumstances changed and I now require Hire & Reward cover, which this policy does not provide.
I requested cancellation. They agreed to cancel the policy but refused to refund any of the remaining balance. I reasonably asked that they retain the amount covering the 6 months I had the policy and refund the remaining term – this was refused.
The only circumstances in which they will offer any refund are if the vehicle is written off, you become disabled, or you pass away. In my view, those are extremely restrictive and unreasonable conditions.
I accept that I should have scrutinised the terms and conditions more closely. However, these non-refund conditions were not properly highlighted or clearly explained at the point of sale.
They trade under the RAC name, which gives the impression of reassurance and credibility, but they are not covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service – something consumers should be aware of before purchasing.
As a result, I have lost £1,500 for cover I am no longer able to use and am still paying for monthly through my finance agreement.
Please read the small print very carefully before committing.
Update: Thank you to Assurant for your reply. I have used my middle name and gmail credentials on here but you have my official details. Please can you provide a name or contact details of whom I should get in touch with regarding this matter. I am happy that you have considered to look into this to see if there is anything you can do to help. Once we come to a new acceptable conclusion, I will be happy to review and update my rating/experience. This is your chance to do right by the customer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve experienced—especially at a time when your circumstances have changed and you’ve needed different cover. I completely understand how disappointing it feels when something you’re no longer able to use still remains a financial commitment.
Our cancellation and refund terms are set out in the policy documentation, and I’m sorry if these were not made clear enough at the point of sale. That’s absolutely not the experience we want for our customers. While refunds are only available in specific circumstances, we do always want to make sure that every customer feels fully informed and supported throughout the process.
I appreciate you raising your concerns about the way the policy was explained and your comments regarding Financial Ombudsman Service coverage. Feedback like yours is taken seriously, and we will use it to improve the clarity of our future customer communication.
I’d really like the chance to look into your case in more detail and see if there is anything further we can do to support you. If you could please respond to our message, so we can ensure this is looked into.

My car had an extended warranty with Assurant which was taken on from Cazoo. When I booked in a repair, I was told I had to go to a particular Garage so I did and when I got there, was told I need to pay for the diagnostic check which came back as issue not under warranty. £132 done and no better off. Do not get any products off these con artists

I sent my mobile phone off to be repaired and received updates and had phone delivered back to me within 1 week, by the time I had signed back into my phone and set it back up the problem with my phone was exactly the same not fixed, I have now sent it back to them and heard nothing so contacted by phone and was told as it is now a warranty claim I wont get any updates, I don't understand the difference? and why cant I get updates ? the person I spoke to was so unhelpful and wasn't interested, I am now left waiting for my phone and wondering if and when I will receive it !!!!

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, especially after already being without your phone once and then finding the original issue still unresolved. We completely understand how frustrating it is to send your device back again and feel like you’re not being updated on its progress.
To clarify, warranty repairs sometimes follow a different process, which can unfortunately limit the type or frequency of updates we’re able to send. That said, you should always feel informed and supported, and we’re sorry if that wasn’t the case when you called. Your feedback about the interaction is very important to us and will be addressed.
We’d really like to look into your repair please can you respond to our message at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for raising your concerns, we’re here to help and want to get this right for you.
