In 2017 LV= announced a partnership with Allianz Holdings, the deal meant LV= was no longer a friendly society and instead became a company registered with Companies House

The Financial Ombudsman Service received 134 complaints about LV= motor insurance in the first half of 2020. That gave it less than 3% of the complaints but the company had nearly 10% of the market share by gross written premium, so it has a much lower level of complaints than might be expected for its size. To put that in context, 67 firms had 10 or more complaints each and those totalled 4,550 complaints. Nearly 200 firms had fewer than 10 each, sharing just 479 complaints between them.
