The worst company I ever seen

The worst company I ever seen. They charge you for everything,for changing of adress 50£, I paid deposit 250£, which they didn't refunded it, and when I wanted to cancel my insurance they charged me with 1100 £, really? The answer was because you cancel we don't care you have to pay. I have a car accident when they even didn't recover my car which was undriveble and then they still took money from my account for one more month
Why I should pay my insurance if i don't use that car anymore, or if I want to cancel I have to pay 1100£?
I don't recommend this company to noone, and still customer service are very rude when you want an explanation, they don't know the rules of company they just charge you for cancellation and that's it. Really bad service

Found a very cheap quote but then they tried to add another £600. I'm so happy I managed to swerve them after reading the reviews. Scamming company.

eXcesS Direct income Company

My first car insures with Xs direct. I had an accident in a long traffic jam. (No even any single scratch mark on the other car and my one) They send claim as invisible damage and I am still paying my £3000 excess. (£125 monthly). I did ask from there Account department at least one month's discount and said no. Company Main income from the excess. That's the main reason they put XS Direct as a company name. (eXcesS Direct income Company).

I don't know why this company has so low a rating? I have dealt with them this morning for a cracked windscreen and they were fast, polite, and quick to get me booked in for a replacement window.

Yes, they ask a ot of questions. However, they have to do thier due diligence to make sure you are covered by the policy.

I would say most of the bad reviews on here come from people not reading the policy documents properly at the point of sign-up.

Rubbish insurance and when you claim any money they ask you 1000 question and documents to refuse your claim.
My car was stolen and they refused to pay my £24000.
No recommended at all.
