Company did not register my insurance with the government database. I am now being prosecuted and they do not communicate in any way.
The only contact number is very slow to answer. 7 days after making a complaint I have heard nothing.
Appalling service.

Hi Hilary,
I'm sorry to hear your vehicle is not showing as insured on the Motor Insurance Database. Please can you email your policy details over to socialresponders@bglgroup.co.uk so we can investigate this further for you.

Worst car insurance company ever!
The company will completely maximise the time it takes to deal with a third party claim. I was rear-ended by another driver while stationary at a stop street, He was super apologetic and was as helpful as possible, but his insurance company is Dial Direct. They have been completely unhelpful and I am forced to wait 4 weeks for my car to be fixed.

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for your review!
Whilst I am very sorry to hear about your experience, we are, however, not able to review or comment as the claim is being handled by the underwriter, not Dial Direct, who are the intermediary.
Please contact the underwriter directly or your insurer for an update.

Dealing with Dial Direct was OK but the extras and therefore the final price was not the same as on the Confused.com.
There were certain extras advertised on the Confused.com web search and then when I clicked through to Dial Direct, those items were charges as extras and increased the price.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry for any confusion around the pricing.
Comparison sites such as Confused.com show a core price based on the details and level of cover provided by each insurer. The added extras you select during your search help tailor the quote, but the price shown initially is generally the core policy price, which may include any complimentary benefits depending on the provider.
When you click through to the insurer, any optional add-ons you choose are then applied, and the final price is updated accordingly to reflect your selections. This is so you can see a full breakdown of the cover and make an informed decision before purchasing.
We appreciate your comments and will continue working to make the pricing process as clear as possible.

Avoid dial direct car insurance at all…
Avoid dial direct car insurance at all costs, car got hit by a 3rd party who left a note and I had a whiteness! Dial direct are refusing to chase liability so I can get my car fixed. Spoke to enterprise who advised that dial direct will no longer chase the 3rd party for liability and the advisor laughed when I said I maybe should switch car insurance to alternative provider in future, says it all!
Hate to think how useless they would be if it was a serious accident!

Forced to pay £80 on top of monthly payment due to "admin error"
Was text about my policy "due" to be cancelled 4 days after it had been cancelled.
I updated my payment details from the previous month, but due to an admin error they did not update for the current month.
My policy was cancelled, and i only had a text today, 4 days after it had done so, and also now have to pay an £80 fee, as well as find a new policy last minute.
I will be avoiding Direct Dial at all costs, as well as their parent company BISL Ltd and would suggest anyone reading this to also do the same and their predatory tactics.

Hi Alex,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must have been.
While you’ve mentioned receiving the text message after the cancellation had already taken place, we can confirm that several communications are issued prior to this stage, including emails and letters, to advise of any missed payments and the risk of cancellation. The final text message is sent as confirmation once the policy has already been cancelled.
We would be happy to look into this further and make sure that the correct procedure was followed if you send your policy details to us at socialresponders@bglgroup.co.uk

I had a competitive price initially and then the renewal doubled, I had a quote as a new customer and it was half the renewal price, apparently the cheap price is due new customers only and not loyal repeat customers. What a way to lose business.

Be Careful
I’d be very wary before using this company I used a comparison site Dial Directs quote was not the cheapest however it had motor legal expenses, a courtesy car etc included less than 3 days later I received an email telling me as I had a non fault claim from 4 years ago which I hadn’t included my policy would increase by £110 a month the underwriter for my policy had actually been the company I was insured with the previous year nothing had been left out please be careful

Illegally did credit search and renewal of policy, despite opting out
Car insurance was up for renewal.
As soon as the renewal reminder came i cancelled the automatic renewal simply so that nearer the time I could search for the best deal as my policy had gone up by over £200 despite having 28 years no claims.
I re insured either another company, then at 21.56 hours the night before my renewal would of taken place they send me an email informing me of my new policy start up despite having cancelled it.
I immediately went onto my account and cancelled the renewal again( noting that every time I navigated the web page they kept throwing a pop up trying to force me into agreeing my new financial agreement which I did not do.
It is clear as day they have informed me so late the day before of the illegal renewal that I had opted out of they were hoping I would not pick up on the email.
Anyway I wake up the following morning to find they had completed a hard credit search on my banking for the renewal repayments without my permission.
I am in the middle of remortgaging my house so need my credit rating to be the best it can possibly be.
Insurance companies behaviours these days are despicable, I detest their hard sales approach. Its now 06.25 on a Saturday morning so the company are closed I've got the stress of awaiting to call them Monday morning to remonstrate and demand they remove the credit searches which im guessing they won't do.
Disgusting illegal behaviour, avoid at all costs

Hi Benn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how concerning this situation must feel, especially given your current circumstances.
When a policy is set up on instalments, a credit check may be carried out as part of the application process. However, we appreciate your comments regarding the timing of communications, your cancellation request, and the impact this has had. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we would like the opportunity to look into this in detail for you.
We take concerns about credit searches and policy renewals extremely seriously. If you haven’t already, please email your policy details over to us at socialresponders@bglgroup.co.uk so we can fully investigate what has happened and ensure everything has been handled correctly.
We’re sorry for the frustration and stress this has caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention!
Thanks Laura
absolutely shocking customer service
absolutely shocking customer service, I have been trying to cancel my policy for the last 3 weeks and had no communication or replies to anything. I spent 42 minutes on hold to be cut off, I have sent 3 emails with no response. I have had plenty of generic emails stating YOU MUST CONTACT US IMMIDIATLEY REGARDING YOUR ACCOUNT. Policy 138932678 - CANCEL MY POLICY !!! - I have all the evidence showing I've attempted contact for the last 23 days. I'm not wasting more time it seems the only way to get a response from this dreadful company is to leave a negative review.

Awful company avoid
Awful company, as a pensioner I was finding it increasingly more costly to run my car. I had paid up front for a year but after 6 months decided to cut our outgoings, cancel the insurance, and sell my car. They charged me for cancelling (why?), promised me a refund which still has not arrived. Avoid at all costs would never recommend

Hello Bob,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us!
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, especially at a time when you were already facing rising costs. We understand how frustrating it must have been to be charged a cancellation fee and then not receive your refund as expected.
This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, and we’d like to put this right for you. Refunds are typically processed within a set timeframe, so we’re sorry if there’s been a delay or lack of communication.
Please email your policy details over to socialresponders@bglgroup.co.uk and we’ll prioritise looking into this for you to ensure it’s resolved as quickly as possible.

cheapest quote with more extras thrown in as standard !
With more features included as standard compared to rivals on the comparison websites and the so called cheapest ones , not on comparison sites . Dial Direct was considerably cheaper and also included a lower voluntary excess .
Value for money is so important given the taxation and ever rising cost of living and although the Dial Direct quote was over £ 50 more than last years insurer , it was still £100s cheaper than many so called special offer -time limited quotes .
