This is the worst experience ever!!
This is the worst experience ever!!! These people don't bother about your problems. Never keep their promises. I had a deferred period of 4 weeks so they start paying me, we're into the fifth week withoutany progress. I regret ever taking out a policy with them. Poor customer service.

Very disappointing experience with British Friendly. I made a claim back in March and we're in June now, they have still not paid out. There always seems to be one excuse after the other why the claim gets prolonged. It's reached the point where I have requested to cancel the membership. I'm paying monthly subscriptions for nothing. Miss a payment and British Friendly are quick to contact you regarding missed payment but they will ignore or take their time getting back to you regarding a claim. I'm convinced it's a scam. If you take a policy with them do so at your own risk.

I have been with this company for a number of years now and had to use the payment protection plan a couple of times due to illness. Every time I make contact with them either by email or phone they are able to assist me quickly and easily. This company is a credit to those who work within it well done to all.

Hello Lynne, thanks for leaving us a 5* review, it's always lovely to hear such positive feedback. I'll pass this on to the rest of the team. Many thanks, British Friendly
Top class financial support
When I needed financial support as a self employed tree surgeon, I cannot fault the help given by British Friendly. I could not work for months due to a torn medial meniscus in my knee, and if it hadn't have been for my cover, I quite simply could not have earned a living.
Thankyou so much

Great Customer Service
Great Customer Service
Spoke to Lesley today from the claims department. I did not have to make a claim but instead was seeking advise due to a change in circumstances.
The original customer service rep I spoke to felt I probably wouldn’t be covered under the policy I held with them, but offered to put me in touch with the claim department to discuss further.
Lesley called today and after discussing my situation it was explained I would still be covered & went over how the cover worked with me (it has been a number of years since I took out the policy). She also answered a few extra questions I have.
I have yet to require to claim under this insurance, and hope I never have to, but was very impressed by the help I have received.
