just had

[flyingbanana]

one of my insurance renewal's has come through and the cheeky gits have now put on the form that they will take the money directly out of the account you paid from the previous year unless you contact them.....are they hoping that people are not going to change insurer or totally forget about it.......what about if i didn't want to renew the insurance with them .....they still take my money without asking.......surly they cant take the money without consent and me having to contact them to make sure they dont...........to say the least it got me annoyed

 

one else had this with their insurance company ?

[antz]

which company? my insurance is due soon and i better watch out for this.

standard scam mate, the phone companies and lots of others will try the same. If you do cancel make sure you get confirmation of the cancellation in writing from them and also i suggest u cancel ur standing order / direct debit in case they *forget* to cancel your cover.

a lot of them do that mate. they just like to cause unneccesary trouble for people that think about switching. that way you say 'ah fook it il stay with them'

 

jokers get your bank to cancel further direct debits from them

im with hic and have been for years.....ive seen a few crafty things they have done over the years..........one of them they added a voluntary excess ₤400 plus the normal excess.........i never asked for it and only found out about it when i saw it was ₤550 excess in total..

 

why would I want to pay voluntary ₤400 excess on top of my normal insurance .......i dont think many people would

 

so make sure you read everything!

yes mate im with elephant and they do it, and previously admiral, they did it aswell. you do have to phone them up and tell them you dont want to renew it before they take it out, or change payment method,

 

lol i had my uncle pay mine last year and i gave him the money and they were going to automatically renew it and take it from his bank i was like NOOOooo!
