Deborah Lloyd: 1/5 Stars 24/06/2019 Will not repair or replace, been paying 4 years for cover Had washing machine and tumbler insured for 4 years, now the time has come to repair or replace they are refusing to do it as a bit of rust is present due to washing machine leaking through door. Absolute disgrace. No washing machine now and out of pocket by 4 years worth of policy. Engineer came out said he would recommend replacement, they now say that rust around bottom of machine(due to a slow leak that we were unaware of) it makes the machine a health hazard? they are refusing to repair or replace. Domestic & General has not yet responded. Lisa Brown: 1/5 Stars 02/07/2019 Washing machine Never been messed about so much from such a well established company Domestic & General has not yet responded.

Craig Thomas: 1/5 Stars 13/06/2018 Very poor service**Avoid*** Our dishwasher was covered under the D&G three items insurance. I rang the call centre who took all details including the make and model. An engineer arrived and said he couldn't do anything as it was a Bush model bought at Argos!!!!.I then contacted D&G again who agreed to send an engineer who could deal with this model.They said to ring the company and a time would be given. The company could not provide a time and so we had no idea when or if an engineer was going to turn up. I again contacted D&G and asked to speak to a supervisor who took 20 mins to come to the phone. He could do nothing but offer an apology.Avoid this company at all costs they have very poor customer service and they need to review and upgrade their sub contracted repair companies ASAP Domestic & General has not yet responded.

Story by Robin Bowman 07/01/2016 Extended warranty nightmare with Domestic and General Domestic and General flog protection plans for when your white goods break down. So, if you have a faulty fridge, a wonky washing machine or a bust boiler, they’re supposed to spring into action – that’s what you pay a monthly charge for. Actually, we don’t think extended warranties are worth the paper they’re written on. And hugely frustrated Sam Arnold who brought a complaint to us about Domestic and General definitely agrees. Sam’s experience is that over TEN YEARS £2,040 has been paid out to for a policy with Domestic and General. During this time, there have been just two calls outs for faulty appliances and one replacement tumble drier – total cost, no more than £750. That’s, basically a cost of £1,290 that Sam has had to bear. Ah, but, you might say, what about the peace of mind a cover plan buys? Domestic and General’s proud boast, after all, is “We take the worry out of breakdowns.” Well, it does take away the worry –– that is until you have to call up the company and try to get them to actually DO something! That’s what Sam found. Sam’s tumble drier conked out in September last year. After a series of long phone calls with Domestic and General, an engineer is sent out a week later to take a look. He stays five minutes and decides he can’t fix the drier as it needs a new drum. Another week goes by and the drum is available, but another week passes by before an engineer can call to fix it. Finally he arrives, two hours after he’s supposed to, and announces he can’t fix it as he doesn't have the template to drill the holes with. Four days later Sam is texted to say that the drier can’t be fixed. This is FOUR WEEKS after Sam first made contact. A replacement is promised. Four days later another text saying to wait for a call. Nothing after four more days. Sam phones and is left on hold for TWO HOURS. We’re now at SIX WEEKS since the breakdown. Sam takes to Twitter to contact Domestic and General and is promised that someone will call the next day. They don’t. Another two-hour phone call and yet another promise someone would call within 48 hours. Another four days go by – we’re now at SEVEN weeks since the breakdown and no further forward. In the end, Sam gets a phone call from someone at Domestic and General who says…they cant actually help, but hands over some new phone numbers. That person says that they only really called to stop Sam putting negative comments on social media. Finally, after another week or so, Sam gets through on one of the new numbers, after spending a total of SEVEN HOURS and around £50 on the phone in all. This person, finally, can help by sending a new drier. But Sam has to pay delivery charges! So TWO MONTHS after Sam’s drier broke down, finally, Domestic and General have sorted the problem, Is this what we pay an insurance premium for – payment that’s supposed to buy peace of mind? Now, we reckon Sam has a great idea and we’re all for it. “Domestic and General don’t even arrange the engineer call out instead they give you a number to ring and you arrange it,” says Sam. “Domestic and General feed on our fear of what about if something goes wrong! “Here is my suggestion – set up a free savings account. Cancel your monthly fee and put it into this savings account. “If anything goes wrong you will have the money to sort it out. “If nothing goes wrong, you will have some savings for a holiday. You will be arranging an engineer yourself either way. “Don’t reward bad service. Be money smart and kick Domestic and General into touch.” Well said, Sam!
