The professionalism of Marcus W has been great in handling my accommodation for my wife and I, during a most stressful period in our lives. We want to thank him for his kindly and thoughtful manner in which he executed his duties.

Exceptional customer service

Brandon was always very helpful, informative and polite. He got things done and even when we requested to change a booking, it wasn’t a problem for him. Brandon and Eric were both a pleasure to deal with. Thank you!

ICAB - Poor Customer Service, Liars!!!!!

Our details were given to ICAB by Trident Group to book us an accommodation for 1 night as our new shower was being fitted.
The useless lady called us at 19.12pm asking us which Travelodge we would like to stay at we stated Upper Dean St yet she booked us into the worst Travelodge in the country - Birmingham Broadsheet
When we tried to call back to see if the booking can be changed to the one she original asked her to book we got told they don't have anymore rooms yet my partner checked on line and they had rooms available in that property.
This morning I got a called twice from 2 different people 1 saying they are calling to remind me of my check out the next guy calls me to say if we need another accommodation for the day we should contact our housing department.
I do not wish to have any correspondence with ICAB as they cannot book a simple room let alone help.

It would be really useful if you could email info@icab.uk.com and give us some further information such as your name and reference number so we can see where we went wrong and if needs be train the appropriate staff members. Many thanks.

Massive thanks again to all, especially Callum

After having a few issues at first

After having a few issues at first, Joseph was excellent. Made the whole experience plain sailing and relieved my stress and reassured me he would do his best to help.

He called when he said he would. Definitely 5 stars just for the customer service alone. Thanks again Joseph

Having been made homeless through our house being flooded

Having been made homeless through our house being flooded whilst we were on holiday we were dealing with James Payne who we found helpful with our accommodation and once we found a house to let he was very good at keeping on top of things to help us get moved in asap.

Good Morning, ICAB is very sorry that you have had a poor experience. May we clarify that it was indeed with ICAB PODs, because in our audit trail we haven't found that our service lacked within your claim. If we did then please do advise us by emailing info@icab.uk.com so that our team can learn from this. If it wasn't our errors within the claims process that caused you to leave a poor review, would you mind deleting it. We pride ourselves on our good service and welcome your feedback. Thank you.

A total disgrace

This company are a joke. Quite happy to let a disabled single woman like me to live in her car while my house has been decimated by fire. No communication, no one calls back. Disgusting.

I have been dealing with Rosie Gordon

I have been dealing with Rosie Gordon, claims handler regarding a transaction we are both involved in. Rosie has been extremely professional, approachable and efficient and it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with her. If all ICAB claims handlers give this level of service I have no hesitation in recommending them.
