More insurance fuckwittery

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Got a renewal letter from Bennetts for the YBR that was nicked back in September. The bike they'd paid out for. Automatic renewal if I don't reply.

Nice to know they're on top of admin.

So was the policy still running? After I wrote my bike off the policy kept running, if the scrap was nicked I wonder if I would have been able to claim again

Also.

I don't know why they keep on trying this. All companies I mean. Silence isn't acceptance.

To cancel my own auto renewal of £600 it took an hour on the phone.

I SORNed a bike and then unSORNed it later. The insurance had lapsed for the two months I was not using the bike but I re-insured when I unSORNed.

Bennetts asked for a photo-scan of permit to ride doc and proof of NCD.
I sent a scan of my licence and the DVLA code authorising Bennetts to look at my convictions I also advised that they had had the last policy so they should have the NCD detail on file.

I got a letter at the beginning of May requesting the NCD again. I called them to let them know I had advised at the time and WTF?/ETC.

It turned out that the old policy Self Renewed so I was already on cover and was now double insured. (Like a Twaaaat.)

The chap kindly cancelled the 'new' policy and sent the full premium back to my bank account.

I imagined when he said I was double insured that they would gouge for the time of cover and admin etc. but no, they were very gentle.

Insured through Swinton online at the end of April. By DD payments will be made.

12 days later, letters postmarked the day of the Policy starting dropped through the door. One with a copy of the credit agreement to be signed and returned.

The second reminding me if I didn't return the credit agreement within 14 days they'd be slapping me with a £24 admin fee.

Almost like they delay sending the letters...

Oh, and I couldn't scan completed form and email it, have to post it...

I believe Bennets have merged with another company, Chuchill, I think, in the last 9months or so.
Usual sort of left hand not knowing what the right isn't doing, chaos of UK Coprorate mergers/take-overs probably rules, and there's a onsultant some-where saying "No, we don't need some-one to verify data entry, computer should take care of that!"

In my 5 years of motorcycle insurance, this happened;

Year 1; Bennets. Cheapest for first time rider blah blah.
At the end of this term, I looked on bike insurer and found bikesure to be best (read cheapest) so I went with them. Well I tried. I had no money in my account. Bennets autorenewed 600 of a policy with no communication. They claimed to have sent a letter ...

Year 2; Bikesure I think sent me an email around renewal, I was allowed to just reply to them to say I didn't want to accept their renewal offer - went with Carole Nash

Year 3; Carole Nash offered a renewal but I don't remember having to tell them that I did not want to auto renew.

Year 4; Bennets again. Come renewal they sent me duplicates of the renewal offer. Twice as much as the previous year. I called them to say I'll be going elsewhere seeing as somehow I've become twice as risky (that's how I view it if my premium doubles) since I've added an extra year no claims. They didn't even try to say, "let us run the numbers again to meet your other quotation". Simply ,"ok sorry."

Year 5; Bikesure again ...

I'm betting next year Carole Nash will be the one or will an underdog come and surprise me?

Arry - When you say "don't use an intermediary that adds no value", how do I grade this when looking for quotes?
When looking for renewal, I look for cover for riding other bikes, for the two times a year I do, and to "include pillion cover ". Then the rest is based on price.
Serious question is serious that, what other value can they add to benefit me?

**BUMP**

And today I received my 'you've not sent your agreement back, you naughty man, so we're gonna sting you for more money' letter.



So I will call them tomorrow and get the charge scrapped. Again.
