Cancelling Car Insurance

[Negative Creep]

Well I tried complaining via Facebook (they rang back within hours of posting) but they refused to budge so I get to pay £142 for them to no longer cover me. Still, seeing as the 406 is proving so reliable I had to find some car related way of wasting money

Swap the 406 onto the Y10 policy?

Yep, looks like I've basically paid £230 to drive a car for a few weeks then leave it parked up for a couple of months. Brilliant.

 

whatever else you do, don't ever work out what this cost you per day/journey/mile...

 

You could try changing the insured vehicle...

 

To something a bit of research will tell you that they won't insure.

A Leyland Leopard or a Ferguson TE20 for example.

Then it will be them cancelling the policy, not you and there will be no fee.

 

That's very creative, I'll try that next time

 

Yes.

 

I was only arguing about a £25 cancellation charge, had a grump and went via the ombudsman. Achieved nothing, still had to pay the twenty five, but the amount of postage and man hours involved made me feel that I'd got my moneys worth out of the twats. Tbh, I expected nothing more.

 

Agree, I take this route. The internet is awash with timewasting complaint letters that take minutes to download and complete. Don't forget to NOT put a stamp on the correspondence as well

Pay it by cheque. With next years date on it

Then I'd be hit with another charge from those insurers, plus I couldn't use it for commuting.

 

 

Despite all this if there is ever another loan scheme I'd still be interested, but only if I could go as a named driver on the keeper's policy

This is carp

 

I have been with Richardsen Hosken RH for ten years and when I pull a car off I get a no-argument pro-rata refund.  Tenner charged that is all.
