These dirty spiv cunts:
Right Choice Insurance Brokers Ltd
St James House
27-43 Eastern Road
Romford
Essex
RM1 3NH
Went through all the blah blah blah, money taken, then started adding further requirements, told to forget it, stated a cancellation-fee would be charged. Muppet says he'll get the "floor manager", some chav-spiv cunt comes on the line and starts talking pure lying BS. Apparently it's "totally impossible to get insurance without providing proof of no-claims and a copy of your licence". So far, since 1994, I've had to provide neither to any ins company, car or bike. Swinton tried it on a couple of years ago, after roasting them they stopped asking.
So, I think we all know the scam. Ins company never provides ins, it asks for docs, you send them, they pretend they never arrived and without informing you they don't cover you, they simply refund the premium you paid MINUS their 'cancellation fee'. Criminal fraudster filth. But all legal, on the surface of it.
The bank's dealing with it. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

Anyone who's bored and fancies a laugh, ring these scum, ask for the 'floor manager' (the spiv-voiced barrow-boy cunt) and get him to tell you how it's "totally impossible to get car or bike insurance without providing copies of no-claims and driving licence."

They should have made your aware of this prior to effecting cover--maybe they did or maybe spiv cunt forgot to mention it (we all make mistakes)--either way, forwarding scans of your no claims record and you licence isn't exactly a big deal.
So either, you want the cover and you send them what they want like a normal person because it may take, what...ten minutes of your time? Or you cancel and purchase a policy with a broker that you want to do business with. Realistically, they can't charge you a cancellation fee because you've likely got a 14 day cooling-off period or something, so just tell them you've changed your mind but what's the point in getting all butthurt over a non-issue and genuinely wasting your time and theirs? |
Lol. This entire issue is over the fact he informed me they'd be charging me a cancellation fee. The bank is already charging-back the full amount already paid and blocking these spiv scum from taking any further funds. Do you really think I'd be giving a rat's arse if they'd simply said "Ok mate, we'll refund the payment, have a nice day"?! |
Oh right, well that's more reasonable. Surely they have a cooling-off period stated on their docs somewhere that they're contradicting? And even if they do charge cancellation fees immediately, the fact that this was (presumably) all in a single telephone call and was essentially the outcome of their own mistake (ie not informing you of their conditions before you accepted the policy) is surely grounds to waive the fee...?
Interestingly, I briefly took out a policy with these guys once (for about half an hour); I found a better deal after, elsewhere, I called back and asked for a refund and I wanted to cancel and they complied with no issues or fees charged. ____________________ A2 Licence: 18/10/2013

Sorted. A few calls, incognito, to drop napalm and cluster-munitions, then the final one as a landing on the beach, flag planted and terms for unconditional surrender presented. The purchase money had already been refunded, an admin-fee of £60 had been levied (premium was £99), that has now also been refunded and a heartfelt apology given. The cunt responsible is going to be "spoken to". Lol. Yeah, whatever. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

The last two times I've insured with Carole Nash, they've requested proof of NCB. They were my previous insurer both times.
I phoned to ask if they really wanted me to post their own NCB letter back to them the guy said "Probably better to, it might not get done otherwise.".
At least he was honest.
I can't remember ever buying a policy that wasn't a direct renewal without being asked to provide proof of NCB.
Licence is requested less often but occasionally. They did ask for it for when I was a named rider on the wifes policy this time round (oddly, I make hers cheaper by being a named rider). Just emailed them the DVLA code.
I agree they were being entirely unreasonable by attempting to charge a cancellation fee having named terms you don't want to comply with on the initial phone call. I think you're being pretty unreasonable by not wanting to provide proof of NCB.
I confidently predict that unless you were with them last year, you will shortly receive a letter or email from swinton requesting you provide proof of NCB within 7 days or they'll cancel the policy. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.
