Avoid any dealings with XS Direct!!
Almost everyone has exposed this scam insurance company in their reviews, detailing how it has deceived them through various tactics. Unfortunately, I had a similar experience. In April 2021, I was involved in an accident where the other person's car sustained only minor scratches. However, through fraudulent means, they managed to inflate the repair bill to nearly £13,000, an amount that was completely unjustifiable. XS Direct then deducted £350 from excess for my own vehicle’s repairs, which I had paid out of pocket, and demanded that I cover the remaining £2,650 in excess. When I requested a thorough investigation and pointed out that the other party was falsely inflating the claim to extort money, instead of addressing my concerns, XS Direct threatened me with legal action if I fail to pay the amount. After my experience of being scammed by them, my advice is simple: avoid any dealings with XS Direct at all costs. If I had the option, I would give them zero stars. 😡
Do not use this company!!
Do not use this company!!! My goodness! They are awful. After 3 years of having very minor accident, they sent me letter saying I am owing them £1700!!! 2 days later I receive a letter from debt collector. If I can give this company “0” star I definitely would. Do not use them. I would rather pay an expensive company. My goodness I am so annoyed 😡.
The insurance is a scam
The insurance is a scam. After playing with my complaints for 2 years, they wrote me to pay 1700 pounds for someone who actually hit my vehicle.
They said they couldn't repair my vehicle because I didn't have an independent witness, even though I had someone in my passenger seat. How do I now pay someone who hit my vehicle and didn't have anyone in his car? Does he get his vehicle repaired at my expense? I don't even know where to get the 1700, and they are now threatening me with a legal battle. They have transferred my case to a debt collector despite disputing the claim.
I am exhausted, scared and frustrated. I have never been in this position before, and I do not know how to handle it.
This insurance is a joke
This insurance is a joke! Do not choose them if you dont want to pay thounds pounds at the end.
I has a minor accident, I didnt make any claim and after 1.5 year they emailed me saying that I need to pay £4000!
Do you know what is the most interesting? In small writing in their contract it says that they DO NOT cover 3rd party costs after an accident. So all the bills and payment are on your head. Basically you pay them for nothing

Fraud!!!! Stay away
Last year they claimed I done a hit and run and I kept telling them I didn't hit any car , they didn't believe me , so they paid out the other driver and put it down on The database as a non fault claim . Without me knowing.
One of the worse company i come across
One of the worse company i come across, instead helping their client they keep the client in dark And punish them with rejecting claim. Not only that but also giving u stress and recording the false injury claim on my policy. Which i am taking them in legal way. They never look into non-fault claim u made but they too focus to record a claim against u even u not involve in it.

STOLEN CAR
Basically if you need to claim just go to the ombudsman straight away , my car was stolen , the thief was caught i am going to court on 04-04-22 to witness against him , he stole 2 cars from my compound , he was caught both cars were returned , police reports availabe , court dates are there .

Terrible insurance Company
Terrible insurance Company. Unhelpful, and only care about themselves. Won't give you a chance to speak your side of the story, nor ask for evidence. Accept anything given to them and payout whatever is asked for. Highly unprofessional company, how they are regulated and allowed to keep working I have no idea.

Unprofesisonal and don't know what they’re doing.
I called to make an enquiry on a claim I was considering taking out after being involved in a minor hit and run, it was decided that I wouldn't go forward with the claim and would fix the car myself to avoid losing my no claims bonus and also since the repairs would cost less than the £3000 excess which I was fine with and already understood, the company too agreed with me that that was the best decision for me. I have now come to the end of my insurance and have seen that they have written down I have a claim on my policy and charged me an extra £2,000 for the renewal price, to my additional first year costs. I called up to try and rectify the issue and have been informed that indeed that there should have been a follow up email sent to confirm that the case was not to effect my policy let the broker and under writers from grove and teen were too lazy to finish their jobs and have left me suffering as collateral damage, whilst it has been agreed that the fault is not mine no effective results have been seen, they still haven't sent the letter of settlement, despite being on the phone for hours and being transferred to person after person, they appear very unprofessional and clearly don't know what they’re doing. I would avoid and go to a more reputable company.

Not even 1 star and I can't believe that this company is still operational.
They have no regard for their customers and whilst dealing with me have made significant failings.
Fortunately, I complained to the Ombudsman and they upheld my complaint against these crooks and ordered them to pay back the amount I was overcharged.
