New debit card.. effect insurance payments?

[NJD]

Hi all,

As the title suggests received a new debit card in the post (date on the old one expired) and the last four digits of the main card number are different.

Do I need to update the main card number with the insurance or does this not effect their ability to take payments out of my account?

Thanks in advance.

If you're talking about a Direct Debit, no your card change will not affect the payments. They just need your bank account and sort code and your authorisation, which you've already given them.

Saves me the panic of a possible admin fee to change the policy details *relief*.

Thankyou

Calling and asking would almost certainly be the fastest and most accurate way of getting an answer.

If they have set up a continuous payment authority then it won't make any difference at all, as long as dosh is in the account.

But its really best to give them a call and make sure its up to date anyway

Which insurance company were you trying to call?

https://www.saynoto0870.com/ often list alternative numbers for insurers using 0845, etc.

No need to use a phone as you can talk with their customer service bods on their website.

Otherwise, as Nexus says, saynotto0870 will save you many ponds.

I successfully use the App, WeQ4U on my android phone. You type the number you want to call, it checks the database and calls it. You need to be connected to the internet to it can find the database but then it calls a generic number which is included in your minutes for contracts etc.

Details updated all at the cost of 0.01p the catch took me 1-2 hours to finally get through to them on the message system oh and the £3-4 of phone credit to listen to their automated system.

The joys

When I got a new card, it had the same 16 digit number, just a new CVV number and expiry date. My old card carried on working for about a month, then started getting refused.

Updating card details shouldn't incur any admin fees - if it does, ask them to drop it. If they refuse, the magic phrase is "OK, no problem. Is that your final decision, or is there an escalation process I need to follow before I approach the ombudsman?". Either way, better to tell them if only to make sure they've got no excuse to cancel your policy.
