Nationwide Not on Myside

I am already disappointed in a company who I thought values the customer and demonstrates integrity. I recently signed my 2 puppies up for insurance. Same bread , same age same type of policy yet I was charged higher rate for one puppy than the other. That’s crazy! I reserve my judgment and decide ed to call thinking surely this is an error? I stayed on hold and the phone hung up, then after I called back A nice lady told me she could switch me over to the correct department. I advised I was not interested in holding for over 15 minutes only to not speak to someone. I instead requested a callback. Well no call back ever happened. I guess Nationwide isn’t as respectable as I thought!! My second request was a simple name change correction to one of the puppies. I again was advised by a nice lady that I had to grant permission and she gave me the link. That was done same day. Guess what I received no email response that this was resolved either!! How can I trust a company that has such poor customer service!!! Your rating is a deserving one star!!

Friendly telephone help.

The representatives were very courteous and helpful, despite the larger insurance underwriting issues inherent in every policy, regardless of the carrier. Poor customer service would have made it worse.
