yet more insurance fuckwittery

[andyscooter]

as I sold my bikes I phoned bennets and cancelled my policy with them as nothing to insure

today I got two letters

one being a notice of cancelation and the other being a notice of outstanding balance

bearing in mind the policy was only £118 to start with which was paid off in full when I bought it
they seem to want to charge me £97

also they have no mention of one of my bikes on the policy at all so not sure if its completely cancelled or not

only have three days to try to sort this but the number closes at half five and I don't finish work til six and wife who is needed as we used her card to pay the bill doesn't get home til seven

and to make things worse the bennets site is down so cant even access my account


fuck wits

£97 outright or refund of £21? If it was the former I'd be telling them it's their choice to cancel the policy or not.

I've pre-planned my next cancellation.

It will be to inform the broker in writing that I no longer have an insurance interest in the vehicle, get proof of posting, and then ignore anything else concerning that policy short of a court summons.

Here's a good one.

My elderly Mum recently had her garden wall knocked down by reversing lorry, which promptly did a runner... fortunately a passerby was good enough to clock the reg plate, and eventually popo put her in touch with the culprit's insurers who wrote to her admitting liability and asking for copies of repair estimates, photos etc.

A claims handler left her a voicemail yesterday, and this morning I called them back myself. (Bear in mind that the handler was from the Indian subcontinent as usual and extremely difficult to make out what he was on about - the following is the gist of a long conversation):
"Unfortunately I am unable to open one of your estimates, the file seems to be corrupt so I need you to send us another copy please."
"Erm - but she sent you hard copies of the estimates, if they've been scanned in, it's been done by you!"
"Oh. Well please can you send us another copy anyway?"
"Eh? So are you saying you've incorrectly scanned and then destroyed her letter? What if she hasn't kept copies of her estimates, which is quite likely, are you going to expect her to get new estimates off the builder?" (bit of a lie, as I know damned well mum would have keprt copies, but hey...)
"Oh no they won't have been destroyed, but it would be quicker if you could send us a new copy..."

We had something similar once
Our garden wall blew over as it was built shit (previous owner)

Phoned insurance to be told if we got a quote for less then £500 we could just go ahead

Work was complete and we called to sort moneys

To be told we couldn't have it as they didn't agree

Took a lot of arguing to sort but we did eventually

It's insurance time for old Peppers as well.
I did get a letter telling me, not asking that they will automatically renew my car insurance.
No claims and no convictions since last year and they wanted an extra £80 .
I called them to tell them that they cannot renew my insurance or take money out of my account unless they have my express permission.
They had the nerve to tell they can an will ignore my instructions

After a VERY heated discussion, we agreed that they WILL remove me from the automatic renewal list and I will get a £20 reduction on last years price.

These twats seem to live on another planet

Also I got the reminder for the ZX6r and the Hyosung 250.
How the hell do they work out the premiums???
The 250 with half the cylinders, less than half the power , and less than half the cc's , cost triple to insure than the ZX6r .
Yet again phone calls were made and words were said.
This time resulting in a £40 discount over last years premium.

How the hell can these people expect to retain business if they have policy of overcharging unless you call them

I will start looking at prices earlier next year and that's for sure.

Just had a good experience with Bennetts today, after Hastings (soon to be ex-insurer) c/wouldn't quote me for cover
after I'd added the mods to the bike and also declaring my prang in the Swift in April. So their renewal has gone in the
bin along with any chances of them seeing my coin again. Had a ring around today, Carole Nash can suck my wang
if she thinks I'm paying her prices and she can stick her DNA up her chuffbox too. Why can't I skip that bollocks
and have the corresponding discount instead Carol, tell me that? The bike is datatagged anyway!! Does it
really need to be done again using the special Carol Nash stuff? Fuck off! That insistence on using their product
would have seen me go elsewhere even if dear Carol was the cheapest.

Rang a few others but got sick of repeating myself so went with a quote from Bennetts, all extras covered & they
know about the prang in the car. 120 quid cheaper than that beeatch Nash who wanted to jack up my premium for
hugger, heated grips, bobbins and a grabrail... No charge for any of those at Bennetts, and a couple of my planned mods
are also on their no chargey chargey list I have gap cover for the next 29 months anyway, so I should see my money
back whatever the payout if the worst happens. Also stipulated no auto renew or selling my deets to other firms.
