Insurance Companies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are so frustrating, aren't they?

No. I haven't had an accident etc, just had to renew my car insurance. I had the renewal, and decided I would check on a couple of the comparison sites ... and, sure enough, I could save myself £30. So I had to ring my present company to cancel. The man was really nice, and offered to go through everything again - I did say that nothing had changed, and I had confirned like-for-like. Anyway, he did the paperwork, and said he could save me £15 ... what's that about? So I pointed out that I was still £15 better off with the other company.

So, he spoke to his supervisor, twice, and I now have a renewal for the same price.

My thoughts are why wasn't the original quote the £15 cheeper ... and how can they reduce the price. If they had planned on getting that money, why change? But, I suppose there are some who automatically renew, and for me, they didn't lose a client.

So the car is insured ... and I have an extra £30 in my bank account.

Work was weird today the only "normal" one of the five was a 3 year old boy. But I managed to leave on time, so in the end it wasn't too bad.

I have still managed a short walk, as I had to buy some milk ... so combined the two.

Now I'm here, and I have photos to post in a moment ... and some icons need to be made as they are due in a couple of days (and no, I didn't do anything like that last week).

But before I get on -

There is only shower gel, and shampoo ... so you have a 50:50 choice

Insurance is a racket. They fight us every inch of the way when we have a claim but happily increase their cost without any notification or extra "benefit" to us every year. They should all be better regulated instead of given a free pass by the government to make as much money as they do.

I believe that the government is going to try to relulate things more ... fingers crossed!

Oh you definitely have to shop around each renewal date for insurance. It’s a minefield and I get quite cross if they can reduce it - especially if you’ve been with the company for a long time - loyalty doesn’t seem to count so shop around it is ……

[debris4spike]

Yes, I always do shop around.

But so frustrating when they could actually price-match after all ... why don't they do that to begin with?

We've had the same with insurance - bunch of crooks.
