Helena was lovely and informative
Helena was lovely and informative. She was very clear about what I needed and helpful. She was a real pleasure to talk to, if and when I call again I hope it’s her I deal with. She is amazing at her job and it made my experience so much easier, something that could have felt long ending up being an enjoyable experience. Honestly she needs a raise. Helena’s customer service is top notch, I got what I needed and the information was clear and again she was a joy to talk to. Thank you for a lovely experience.

ABYSMAL
ABYSMAL. DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY.
they will palm you off to some AI chat bot that will do whatever you say until a human looks at it and decided to not follow through with what you want.
Its a cheap and tacky operation. Felt like a scam to me.
Finding your policy is difficult. And when you do figure it out. You cant cancel straightforward. You have to jump through hoops while customer service mess you about.

Insurance - the better way!
Not often you find insurance companies and/or brokers, that care more than the bottom line and genuinely hear and help you in your needs, to find what’s best for you, rather than what’ll be best for them. PaymentShield is one of those rare examples of truly putting the customer first.
A special mention to Dave Hartley for his patience, care and attention to detail, all with a level of customer care rare these days. Some want you to listen, others listen to you. Dave falls in the second category. Thank you!

Quick contact by phone.
It was great to make contact and actually speak with someone using a phone. Having ploughed through various insurance companies using online forms, to no avail, I was able to immediately discover if my personal circumstances would be within the remit of Paymentshield.
Julie gave reassurance that the proposed building work I needed undertaking would be covered and so I was able to answer the relevant questions and proceed speedily to a very competitive quote.
Great experience and I highly recommend.
