Do you check your insurance policy?

[Tackleberry]

The reason I ask is this....I've just checked mine, only because I wanted to know the expiry date...which is May.

 

The registration is correct, colour, make tickety boo, but apparently I have a Tickford 2.8..? I wish.!!!

 

Hate to think what would've happened should I needed to have claimed. I shall check next time, word by word.

Generally I do yes, and have also on occasion found errors on it. None quite as drastic as that though.

So, an update... I went to renew.

 

Told em they'd put me down as a Tickford, not a 2.0ltr sport. "Ok , we'll change that".

Then, I wanted them to confirm my modifications... "you've changed the engine..?". Erm, no..!!! It's a standard 2.0ltr. "Oh, we'll change that".

Have you got any others I told you about last time? "No? "... Exhaust? Manifold? Hoses? Air filter? Fuel filter?...."er, no.....?". FFS..!!

 

So, when you check your policy, it may still be different to what's on the system.....give your insurance a call to check.

 

Oh, as I can hear you all saying, "Who was it..?"... A-Plan.

I always worry about whether mods are properly listed so I have a detailed document that I email off and make sure goes in record.

 

On the subject of checking things though, do people always check their bill closely in restaurants? Went out for dinner on Friday evening and on this occasion I did check the bill closely.........bugger me, an extra ten spot added at the beginning. A well suss explanation given and the £10 taken off again. Shan't be visiting there again

And as per the top of said receipt... Hopefully you told em what you thought.!!!

A plan

I've had no issues with A Plan. Agreed, sometimes they make a mistake but as long as you read the policy properly and look at what modifications are listed then its just a call to make any alterations.

[Tackleberry]

I had a call from Claire at A-Plan. She went through my previous policy and this one, finding where it might have gone wrong.

Also appears some of the issue maybe DVLA related as they have the car listed as a Tickford...

Doesn't excuse the other stuff but it's all sorted now...

 

Sorry Claire, we forget to discuss the "what can we do to make it up to you" question...?

I hear you do very good cleaning kits as a prize.....ahem...

 

But thank you Claire for sorting it out.

 

And yes, I did stay with A-Plan.

 

Finally, my V5 says 2.0ltr Sport, but DVLA list it as a Tickford.....why that?

[skeeter]

One thing that might be worth asking, have you been over paying on the previous policy given i suspect a Tickford is more expensive to insure? You may be due some money back.

 

Like others I am with A Plan, the only issue i have with them is the barrage of contact attempts by phone and text on the run up to renewal which is pretty annoying, but the policy is good and deals with the fact my car can be at home or at a storage facility.

My car is a SA import that had a 1600 xflow installed (no clue as to what the car was originally). When giving the reg I always get the response "that's a mk1 escort RS1600?" I can only assume this is some error formed while undergoing it's UK registration but I bloody wish it was an RS1600! as mentioned in a previous post I wonder what happens should it need to be replaced?
