      I have been insured by Wawanesa started with Auto then home since 2004 and I have been happy with the home insurance so far. I've moved off from Wawanesa for auto insurance was that my insurance expired due to no payment but I never did received any notification from the company while it was also partly my fault for overlooked my expiration date where the online payment failed for me when I've realized and attempt to pay for the policy, forcing me to immediately purchased auto insurance from another company as I was not covered at all and since I have been happy with my new provider, I has no intend of going back to Wawanesa for Auto insurance so far. For my home insurance, I had positive experiences with the company where I had to hire contractor to do an emergency replacement of my sewer line and I was not aware that I had service line protection and Wawanesa agent walked the through the process of filing claim and got myself partially covered for the cost of the replacement. I did get the letter from my lender twice regarding losing my home insurance due to not meeting rating and that I need to look for another company but when I called up my lender, they said the letter was auto-generated and that my insurance is in good standing so no concern there.
