Value in local communication – Haven’t made a claim yet ( proof of the pudding) but the folk at guardian seem very understanding and easy to talk to. Had an issue with my cc , and an old contact meaning I was behind a substantial amount ( gather they still have to pay their underwriter to keep my accrued benefits) but the waved the amount in total with no grief. Would like them… Read more ·  1

Ending in cancelling my policy due to not worth keeping it. Over 3 years of increase I cannot use this. Rejecting my claim. Sorry I am terminal.

An excellent product for me – This small but useful policy means my wife won't have to worry about finances when I die. There's enough money to cover a modest funeral and any other outstanding debts. Show details ·  1

Good insurance to have – Been with them for 11 years now, policy is getting a lot more expensive as you are penalised for getting older to the point where you wonder if they want you to drop the cover before you can make a claim. Show details ·  1

No further comment – no further comment, what I stated previously has not changed. Customers are asked to rate the service provided, not sure why you require an explanation for the rating. The service will be excellent, good, bad or ugly and the scale is set for the appropriate service assessment by the customer, nothing further required. Show details ·  1

Life is Better without Guardian Insurance – If you are thinking of applying for Life Insurance I recommend that you DON'T. Tried numerous times to cancel my policy with them but got the runner around, it seems like they tried to stall the situation and leech off from your hard earned money with poor customer service skills, staff needs to be trained in customer service it was just… Read more

appalling. If seeking for any policies regarding these types, I encourage that you do your homework beforehand or see what your place of employment have to offer.

Should have know better – Unfortunately I got bamboozled by insurace lingo, an easy misinterpretation on my behalf, making my extremely expensive policy useless. Fair enough..... I guess......I held the policy for six years without a late payment or without claim. So when I tried to challenge them it was basically "Tough luck you shoulda read tha fine print.....go ahead… Read more

and cancel i will put you through". It kinda made me feel a little hoodwinked, and I kinda got the feeling the representative on the phone took great joy in blowing out my candles aswell.

Insurance by nature is an insidious industry. I should have know better.

Guardian Income Protection Insurance - Claim being drawn out – When I took out this Income protection policy I did so to be able to look after my Family in case I can not work for a longer Period. Unfortunately I am in that situation now after 4 years of payments and it has been a nightmare trying to finalise the claim as documents are repeatedly being asked for even though they either have been sent or they… Read more

are not available yet as the last tax returns have not been submitted yet. When I told the Lady handling the Claim that the way the Claim is going to be handled is going to determine whether I am going to continue with them as insurer , she told me that I can go ahead and cancel, it is not part of her Job to make sure Guardian Life keeps selling Insurances.

Worst Insurance Company Ever DO NOT TOUCH – This company will take your sign up over the phone happy as pie WELL try cancelling your policy. They claim you can't cancel over the phone only in writing then when you put it in writing they still refuse to cancel unless you speak to them direct. The only way I got my policy cancelled was to inform them that due to them refusing to follow my… Read more

written request of cancellation I was filing a complaint with the Finacial Ombudsman with which they promptly cancelled my policy.
