Disappointing

What a surprise! You submit a phone with a defective screen for recycling, accept their cash offer, then when they receive it they say it's non-functioning and offer you nothing! Of course it's non-functioning it has a defective screen. Pretty underhand and wouldn't use them again. NB - in response to Asurant comment, the phone did power up when submitted via your online portal. It was merely the screen that pixelated periodically.

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed, and we understand how frustrating this must have felt.

When a device is submitted with a declared faulty screen, we factor that into the initial estimate. However, once the phone arrives, it still needs to power on and function beyond the display (for example, responding when connected to diagnostic tools). If the device is found to be completely non‑functional and unable to power on or be tested at all, unfortunately we’re unable to offer a recycling value.

We appreciate how this can feel unexpected, and it’s never our intention to be underhand. Our terms do explain that all offers are subject to physical inspection and functionality checks once received.

If you’d like us to review the assessment or discuss returning the device to you, please respond to our message so we can make sure this is passed to the right team.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, it genuinely helps us improve how clearly we communicate our process.

Assurant Exceeded My Expectations From Start to Finish.

My Claim Number: 56056628
“After reading many customer reviews online, I was honestly concerned and unsure about what to expect. However, my personal experience with Lloyds Bank /Assurant was completely the opposite. The entire replacement process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. Everything was handled professionally, and the delivery was seamless with no delays. My replacement device arrived perfectly packaged and brand new. Because of my experience, I was genuinely surprised by the amount of negative feedback I had seen beforehand. Assurant delivered exactly as promised, and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided.

A shambles I had to send the phone to them and pay which cost £10 and on receipt of my so called repaired phone it wouldn’t even work so I have had to send back and have logged a complaint but they are not interested and state the phone worked when it left them. I will be going to the Financial
Ombudsman. Had other insurances which have always been first class so I will
Be cancelling my policy.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly after paying to send the device and then finding it wasn’t working on return.

All repaired devices are tested before dispatch, and our records show the phone was functioning when it left our repair centre. However, we fully recognise that faults can sometimes reoccur or develop during transit, and we understand how disappointing that is for you.

We’re concerned to hear that you feel your complaint hasn’t been taken seriously. That is not the level of service we aim to provide. Any formal complaint should be reviewed in line with our complaints process, and customers are always entitled to escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service if they remain unhappy with the outcome.

We’re sorry that this experience has led you to consider cancelling your policy, and we genuinely regret the stress it’s caused. If you’d like us to review the complaint handling or confirm the next steps available to you, please respond to our message.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, it helps us identify where we need to improve.

Not recommended Assurant (Expect 23% of your repair fee back)

Further to my Trustpilot review on 7th April 2026 (my reference number 280699020426), I rang Assurant and they confirmed I will receive £89.63, which is 23% of the fee I paid to Evans Halshaw Vauxhall Leeds on Gelder Road.

After my complaint, Assurant issued the final investigation letter on 2nd Apr and they quoted the following from T&C. This is right, but these will cause you problems and more hassle:

Labour Rate Term: “In giving authorisation for Maintenance or repairs, we will assess repair times in line with Autodata (or equivalent industry standard) recommended repair or service times and hourly labour rates at a maximum of £55 per hour.”

Parts Term: “The Administrator may authorise Maintenance or repairs immediately; call for other estimates; nominate another repairer; investigate the Maintenance or repair request further; insist on the use of factor or pattern parts; exchange or remanufactured units; or appoint an independent assessor to inspect the vehicle.

However, I rang Assurant on 7th Apr, the lady politely explained that they generally used two standards for price comparisons, but they seek the advice from the dealer, which is Evans Halshaw Vauxhall.

I rang Evans Halshaw Vauxhall Leeds, they explained these are the standard hours for this work and they don’t use non-genuine parts, which cause problems.

My recommendation: If you want more than 23% of your repair fee back and fix your car properly, you know what to do.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for providing detailed feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with the outcome of your claim. As outlined in our final response, all claims are assessed in line with the terms and conditions of the policy, including labour times based on recognised industry standards (such as Autodata) and a maximum hourly labour rate. These assessments can differ from a main dealer’s internal pricing structure and labour allocation.

In addition, the policy allows for the use of factor, pattern, refurbished, or remanufactured parts where appropriate. While we appreciate that some dealerships choose to use genuine parts only, this can result in costs that fall outside the scope of cover under the warranty.

We understand how this can feel frustrating when repair invoices are higher than the policy limits, and we recognise that this may lead to a contribution being required from the customer. Our aim is always to assess claims fairly, consistently, and in accordance with the cover purchased.

Thank you again for your feedback, which we will share internally to help improve how we explain policy coverage and expectations at the point of claim, if you wish for this to be reviewed further or require any further details, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Relations Team.

We aim to provide a professional and respectful service at all times, and we’re disappointed to learn that this wasn’t how your interaction was perceived. Claims are assessed based on the terms and conditions of the policy, and decisions are made using the information available to us at the time—not on assumptions or personal judgement.

We understand how frustrating it can be when a claim doesn’t progress as expected, and we would welcome the opportunity to review your concerns further. If you’re willing, please respond to our message so we can look into this further on your behalf.

Do not repair the phone properly

I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received from Assurant Mobile Phone Insurance.

I first made a claim in January, and since then my iPhone has been sent in for repair five separate times. Despite this, the device has still not been restored to a satisfactory or manufacturer-standard condition. On more than one occasion, I was required to pay the excess fee—even when the repair was clearly not completed properly.

In one instance, the phone was returned without being correctly sealed, which resulted in condensation forming inside the camera lenses. This is a basic quality issue that should never occur following a professional repair. Even now, after being told the phone has been “repaired,” there is still clearly visible condensation in the front camera.

I have now been without a properly functioning phone for several weeks, which has caused significant inconvenience. While I acknowledge that repairs are processed relatively quickly, the lack of proper workmanship completely undermines the purpose of having insurance in the first place.

At this stage, I have lost confidence in your ability to repair the device to an acceptable standard. I would expect a more appropriate resolution, whether that be a full replacement device or a permanent fix carried out to manufacturer specifications, without any further charges.

I hope this matter can be resolved promptly and fairly.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must be to have your device returned multiple times without meeting your expectations.

We aim for all repairs to be completed to a high standard and for devices to be thoroughly quality‑checked before being returned. We recognise how inconvenient it is to be without a fully functioning phone, particularly where further issues are identified following a repair. While repairs are intended to resolve the reported fault, we appreciate your concerns around workmanship and the impact this has had on your confidence in the process.

We’d like the opportunity to look into this further and review what’s happened in your case, including the repair history and the concerns you’ve raised. Our team can reassess the situation and discuss the most appropriate next steps with you directly.

Please can you respond to our message so we can make sure this is passed to the right team.

I had a really frustrating experience…

I had a really frustrating experience with Assurant UK when making a claim for my lost iPhone 17 Pro. What should have been a straightforward process dragged on for nearly two weeks, with very little communication or clarity along the way. To make matters worse, the way my claim was handled felt less like customer support and more like an interrogation. I understand checks are necessary, but the constant questioning and tone made me feel like I was being treated with suspicion rather than as a genuine customer.

I constantly had to chase for updates, which only added to the stress and inconvenience. Now that the phone claim has finally been resolved, I’ve been told I still have to wait even longer for the accessories claim to be processed and I’m still awaiting any meaningful update on that. It feels unnecessarily slow and poorly coordinated, as if each part of the claim is handled in isolation rather than as a single case.

I’ve used Assurant in the past without issue, but something clearly seems to have changed. Looking at recent reviews online, my experience doesn’t appear to be an isolated one. It gives the impression that customer satisfaction is no longer a priority, which is disappointing for a service that’s supposed to provide peace of mind.

Overall, the lack of efficiency, poor communication, and uncomfortable claims experience have been very disappointing. When you’re paying for insurance, you expect a smoother and more supportive process especially for something as common as a lost phone. Unfortunately, this has been far from that.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We understand how stressful it can be to make a claim for a lost device and are disappointed to learn that the process felt slow, unclear, and unsupportive for you.

Claims do require a series of checks to help protect customers and ensure policy terms are met; however, this should always be handled with clear communication and a respectful, supportive approach. We’re sorry if the tone or repeated questions made you feel uncomfortable or as though you were being treated with suspicion.

We also appreciate your feedback around communication and coordination, particularly where different parts of a claim are handled separately. We understand how frustrating it can be to have to chase for updates or feel that progress is fragmented, and we regret that this added to your experience.

Your comments have been noted and will be shared internally, as feedback like this is important in helping us identify where improvements can be made. If you’re still awaiting an update on your accessories claim or would like your experience reviewed further, we’d encourage you to contact us directly with your claim details, further to this, please respond to our message so we can ensure this is escalated to the right team.

This is the first time I've broken my…

This was my first time dealing with a broken the large foldable screen phone, but thankfully my insurance covered from Lloyds Bank it and I got a new one super fast. I really appreciate how quick your service was - I got a replacement Samsung Fold 7 within a week! My only small issue is that the color of the new phone is different from my old one, and I wasn't asked about it first. But I'm sure I'll get used to it. Thanks again for your help!🙏🙏🙏

Horrendous - Cancelling my virgin account

Horrendous, delayed my mobile phone claim by a week asking for all sorts of nonsense, sent me the wrong colour with chips on it, older than me existing with a slip in the package saying they gave me a better spec phone as they didnt have mine in...... which they didnt, they just gave me a disgusting colour.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been.

Any request for information during a claim is to ensure we can correctly assess and validate it, but we appreciate this can feel like a delay from your perspective. Regarding the replacement device, where an exact match is unavailable, a like‑for‑like or upgraded specification may be provided instead. We’re sorry that the colour and condition of the device you received did not meet your expectations, as replacements should be thoroughly quality‑checked before dispatch.

We’d welcome the opportunity to look into this further and address your concerns properly. Please respond to our message so we can review this further.

We’re really sorry to hear how frustrating this experience has been, particularly after you’ve already paid your excess.

Once a claim is registered, next steps are normally issued by email as quickly as possible, but we appreciate that any delay or lack of clear communication can feel unacceptable, especially when you’re waiting for a repair. We’re also disappointed to hear that your recent contact didn’t leave you feeling reassured or supported, that’s not the level of service we aim to provide.

We’d like the opportunity to review what’s happened, confirm the status of your claim, and ensure you have the correct next steps without any further delay. Please respond to our message so we can make sure this is passed to the right team.

I reported my phone as lost and sent all the required documents by email. Since then, I haven’t heard back. I’ve also tried calling a few times, but I haven’t really been able to get any clear information or help. Claim no: 56048910. I send all the documents Tuesday, still no response. Just I call the customer service they didn’t help me too.they says just wait to the email. It should not be that much hard.

I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with Assurant while making a phone insurance claim.

Despite explaining multiple times that my device was a genuine gift from a friend, I was repeatedly asked to provide proof of purchase, which I clearly stated I do not have. It felt like I was being asked the same questions over and over again without any consideration of my situation.

The whole process became unnecessarily stressful and frustrating, with excessive documentation requests and no flexibility for genuine cases like mine.

Because of this experience, I decided to withdraw my claim and cancel my Ultimate Reward account.

I would not recommend this service based on my experience. I hope they improve their customer support and handle cases more reasonably in the future.

Proof of purchase is a standard requirement under the policy, as it allows us to validate ownership and eligibility for cover. We understand this can be difficult in situations where a device has been received as a gift, and we regret that this caused additional stress or repetition during your claim.

We’re sorry that this ultimately led to you withdrawing your claim and cancelling your account.

After reading multiple bad reviews I was worried - but I need not!

After reading multiple bad reviews I was almost certain my experience would be doomed. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the experience I personally had so I just wanted to write this review so others are not worried too. Obviously other people have had bad experiences and that is a shame, but I don't think Assurant deserves mostly negativity here. My phone screen was damaged and I applied for the claim via Halifax (Ultimate Reward customer), who then put me through to Assurant. The claim was accepted immediately and I sent the phone off for repair on Wed (free DPD label provided). I was well informed of the progress, they let me know by Friday it was with an engineer, and then advised it required an additional part ordered (Samsung Flip phone, so understand specialist screen required). By Monday was told it was fixed, and Tue phone was back in my hands via DPD delivery. The quality of work is excellent, far exceeding my expectations. Its a brand new original Samsung screen. All in all, I worried about it for no reason. So, as I said, if you're reading all the negative reviews please also know there are some great ones too and hopefully you'll have an experience like me. Claim no. 56042155, Phone: Samsung Z Flip 7
