I received my engagement ring back today as the diamond had fallen out. An amazing job, so perfect and she was always helpful and kind and quick to respond. A faultless service.

Absolutely wonderful service

Absolutely wonderful service. My claim handler (Claire Ingram) was absolutely brilliant. She dealt with my claim with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. From making my claim on the Monday - it was resolved by the next day. I think this is the best service I’ve had in many a year. Thank you Claire (ins claim no 884828)

The Claims handler was so helpful

The Claims handler was so helpful, his instructions/explanations were so clear. Kurt was very thorough and the turnaround time was within a few hours. My replacement laptop will be arriving today. He responded so quickly and was so polite. A first rate customer service.
Thank you NFU for your quick response too! God bless you.

I am insured with Direct Line insurance…

I am insured with Direct Line insurance and they put me in contact with a jewellery valuation company to deal with my claim for some jewellery I lost on holiday in Greece last week. A lady called Vicky Telford dealt with my claim and she was absolutely fantastic. I am a widow and in my seventies. She was friendly and patient and very efficient. My claim was dealt with very quickly within days. I am very happy with the excellent service I received from Vicky Telford and would recommend her company SBS claims and Direct Line both.

Damage to a leather sofa.

Millie Newton dealt with my claim(501553226) for the accidental damage to a leather sofa. The whole experience was great, I was kept informed of the progress of my claim and a home visit to inspect the damage carried out swiftly. I then had the choice to repair the damage or accept a financial settlement. Really good service from this company. Stephanie Ingram

Excellent staff response

The staff were clear, helpful and very responsive. When one person was unavailable, others could access all the details and keep me informed. The case was closed in less than two days after the accident and I’m able to order a new TV in time for the Scotland match. I was quite stressed during the process but it was all resolved quickly and easily. The offer was fair and quickly resolved. Very impressed.

Excellent experience

Fatima was helpful throughout the claim. She communicated effectively . Once the claim with reference 872350 was initiated by my insurance company and passed to SBS . The whole process was seamless and my claim was paid out and completed quickly. The service and attention to details by Fatima was excellent.
Yours,

I claimed for a stolen phone

I claimed for a stolen phone. The whole claim was dealt with and settled within 7 days. An absolutely brilliant service by these guys. They called, emailed and settled the claim with complete professionalism and made the fact that my item had been stolen a whole lot easier. I highly recommend.

SBS claim number: 877027

SBS dealt with my ring claim repair. The service was amazing from start to finish. I was given a direct contact of Melanie Rochester who contacted me as soon as my insurance company had referred the case. Melanie kept me informed throughout the process answering questions straight away.
The ring was repaired and returned with a really quick turn around. The ring is back to its former glory and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you 🙂
