Wozcorp is closing

Danny · Ask Me About Stoppie School Joined: 26 Jan 2003 Karma :

I will be closing down my insurance business on 15th Jan.

I'm being forced to do this due to new insurance laws that I cannot comply with due to the extortionate costs of becoming registered with the new government financial watchdog (FSA).

All the data I've collected is up for sale, except names and addresses which will be deleted.

Stats:
Saved BCF members £9,476.36 on their insurance in total
Average saving £244.21

A special thanks to Bendy, Alex and G for all their help with Wozcorp. Thumbs Up

Sorry to hear Danny Crying or Very sad

But I always thought you did this 'on the fly' - never knew you were doing it as a proper business, if you see what I mean.

Your right AcIdBuRnZ, but if I continue after the 15th I would be facing prison time if caught. Sad

Arrrgh, no....

I wanted to use you on my insurance renewal in March, you can't stop now Danny!

What's the problem with not being registered? I didn't realise you actually did anything that needed to be registered anyway.

Although, I didn't know how you did what you did in the first place! Smile

Danny has saved 99% of people some money.

It didn't cost you anything for Danny's time at the end of the day!!!

So he wasn't able to gt your sons insurance any cheaper, so you didn't have to pay. Whats so bad about that if you've already got a cheap quote? Confused

Kasandrich, your right thats pretty much what I did.

When someone asks me to do a quote for them I look at the info they've given me and decide if I think I can beat that.
In your case I thought the price you had been quoted was very good and I didn't think I could beat it.

I would also add that the ER5 was for a 17year old. Wink

kasandrich · Trackday Trickster Joined: 20 Oct 2004 Karma :

Motorcycle Direct beat it by £50, thus my impression of your service was that I was not impressed, I got one quote, (online from Choicequote) then came to you, your promise, is to phone round saving me the trouble and get the best price!

Well you didn't do it, did you?

As I see it you were in breach of contract.

I didn't slag you off while you were still trying to make a go of it, but seeing as you are folding the service anyway, I put it in as a "well I won't miss the service" posting.

No disrespect to you, I take my hat off to you for trying to make it work, hope we can all remain friends over this, or am I going to get loads of negative feedback over this Question

BTW the FSA and some of its rules stink.

Kasandrich,

I think that Danny worked extremely hard and saved a lot of people a lot of money. I did some ringing round for mine and he still saved me £50 or so.

Kick a guy when he's down why don't you?

Danny is one of the friendliest guys you could meet, and all he was trying to do was pay for himself to go through university.

Now that the service has been shut down by a change in the law there wasn't any need to rant about it (when you didn't pay anyway) on a public forum.

Very unneccesary. Thumbs Down

But the Danny has basically admitted he was in breach of contract, how does that make me the villain Confused

No, his contract, states, give him your best quote, and he will phone around and do the leg work, if he gets you a better quote you pay him £30, if not, then you pay nothing. and I might add, I only went to the trouble of getting one online quote and put my trust in Danny.

So the fact that I didn't pay him is irrelavant, we still had a contract, and he did not fulfill his part of the contract.

Danny, am I correct or would you disagree with anything I've said Question

and Marjay, I do not consider my post was a rant, when I start to rant you will know about it, and I haven't kicked him when he's down, all I've done is state that his service never worked for me.

As far as I’m concerned we hadn’t entered into the contract yet.

If I had sent you my terms and conditions and you had agreed then we would have entered into a contract imo.

Although to be fair I can understand how my advert could have misled you to think I will always call around.

I’m always happy to receive constructive criticism and don’t worry I won’t rate any of your posts down. Laughing

Well the way I see it...

If you phoned an insurance broker and told them a low quote, would you be surprised if they said "Sorry I can't beat that..." and put the phone down?

It certainly has happened to me before.

I don't want to get into an argument, mainly because I can't speak for Danny, I'm just putting forward my opinion.
