Suncorp Home Insurance

I have chosen as my Landlord insurance provider mainly due to known brand name and competitive premium (which however has been increasing year on year significantly). Easy to set up and gave a piece of mind, but totally misleading, which I only found out after 4 years of policy payment when lodging a claim for some significant damages caused by tenant. Lodging claim online was easy, however progressing the claim has been absolutely not acceptable. 5 months of dealings between Strata and Suncorp with no win for landlord. Fly screens are not cove...Read more

Have had resilium home and contents insurance for a few years now. It's an average price. We got it thru a broker as we have a granny flat we rent on airbnb and wanted something that we considered "top shelf" but at a good price. Not sure we would be covered for anything out of the ordinary but at least we have a broker fighting for us just incase I suppose. Our suburb Berowra was hit by large hail just before christmas and I think it was labelled as a natural disaster. Called them the next day to hear on the phone the resilium claims numbe...Read more

I have been a loyal customer for 39 years, having 5 other policies with GIO/Suncorp and his is the first claim ever due to the Sydney hailstorm damage in December 2018. Have given me the runaround for over 2 months and at the end they are telling me that they cannot do the repairs due to the fact that part of the damage does don't comply with the latest building rules. The house was built in 1981. They propose to pay me a minimum amount and have me do the repairs myself which will cost more than twice to what they propose to pay.
I am an old gu...Read more

I have been a customer with Suncorp for a few years for a landlord insurance policy. I made a claim as the tenant vacated the property without paying a month worth rent and a lot of damages to the property. When the claim was made, Suncorp refused to pay the 1st month rent as they requested me to cover the 1st month rent from the bond. And I had use my own money to clean and repair the property.
No one contacted me for the rental default claim for a month. I had to call Suncorp (over 30mins wait time to be answered) and provided the documents. ...Read more

I had a business protection insurance with AAMI which was underwritten by Suncorp, any way I had a stroke , they deny the claim because they claim I had blood pressure in the past 4 years, I gave them every thing I receive from my GP which shows that he did not treat me from the so called blood pressure. I cant deal with right now due to my health, I will wait till I recovered then I will seek legal action. that happen during the commission inquiry !!!! somethings will never change.
When I was applying over the phone for the cover I told the r...Read more

Have been a loyal customer for 13 years, have all my cars, loans, banking, home and business insurance with them. In the last 13 years have claimed about 6 times. Each claim getting more difficult. Last straw, I had a specified item insured under my contents insurance for the past 5 years, it gets stolen out of a vehicle on my property. I have to use the APP to make the claim as holding on the phone for over 30 minutes really got to me. They emailed that my claim needed a quote and pictures. I sent them through. 3 weeks later still did not hear...Read more

I have been insured with Suncorp Approx 10 years & never once made a claim. When my house was broken into & had major damage & theft my self, my family & neighbours were treated like we were the criminals that did this. We were all interrogated for at least an hour. Not only that they turned up to the interrogation up to 3hrs before the agreed time & demanded to do it then. They were nasty & rude to us in their approach.
Despite one of the criminals who actually did it being caught & charged prior to the interrogation & witnesses to the break ...Read more

I tried to lodge a claim fir accidental damage to a TV that was destroyed by removalists.
The claims lady asked if it happened at the new or old address? Answering honestly I stated I had no idea just the screen was broken.
It’s covered by accidental damage under the policy. But it sounds like it happened during transit so it’s not covered.
How can she determine it happened whilst wrapped in blankets or before they put it in the truck without blankets?
Claim denied.....
They carried 3 TV’s only one was broken luckily the cheapest one..

Was insured with Vero, (the trading name under Suncorp) in excess of four years. Had never claimed previously.
Suncorp has not settled the cost of the major damage to my home. The burst pipe event occurred January 2017.
Suncorp refuses to fairly assess the significant damage to my home.
The ombudsman was not a service to trust to assist. The insurer has breached the code of practice by not demonstrating utmost faith in assessing and processing my claim. There is no recourse to the consumer when the regulator,
FOS did not follow a trans...Read more
