Was on holiday in May

Was on holiday in May, phoned the insurance company to find out where the nearest hospital was but the staff member couldn't understand me, due to the pain I was in.I therefore went into hospital for 1 day then returned home and was in hospital for 3 days. On the return to my home, I completed the insurance documents to get my money back in early June....still waiting for even a response. Any time I call, they have no idea what they are doing or they want more info, I stated I've already given them that info and they then 'restart' the 10 working day counter for them to check it. Very angry, I'm now being charged interest on the credit card for the medical treatment, which they will pay. Very poor service and lack of empathy.

Thank you for your review.

We are sorry to hear that your claim has been delayed. Unfortunately, during busy periods, such as the pick summer season, claims may take between 6 and 10 weeks to be reviewed, once all the information and documentation relating to a claim has been received. We have however, escalated your case to the claims handlers appointed by the insurer of your policy, and requested them to contact you as soon as possible.

If you require any further assistance, please let us know.

I've used Cover For You for my Holiday…

I've used Cover For You for my Holiday Insurance for many years, I've always found them to be very competitive at pricing, always very helpful people to help with any enquiry. I last spoke to Nicky on the 23rd of August to pay for another well priced Holiday Insurance, she was such a friendly very bubbly lady who helped me with my policy. They are the 1st company I think of whilst looking for Holiday Insurance.

Quick and efficient.

My query was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Zyreena was kind and understanding and answered my questions in a way I could understand. She also explained the follow up steps I needed to take. The email for that follow up came quickly as did the confirmation that I had updated my insurance information.
