So I get a renewal for my Smartie
£152.96
Noooooooo.. I do not think so
A quick search around, 20 minutes of filling in forms and faffing around, I get it down to £127.00
Foned up insurers. Sorry, do not renew.. Too expensive Swintons are £26.00 cheaper
Without so much as a moments hesitation the woman said, ' Oh, well if we drop the £30 policy issuing fee that would make it cheaper at £122.96, would that be ok ?'
Sooo.. a total probably of an hour of my time wasted because my insurers were just trying it on..
I fones up Swintons, told them what the new bid was and they matched it.. Had GREAT pleasure foning the first lot back ( all 0800 numbers which they conveniently hide unless you are new business ) and explaining exactly why they could stick their insurance where the sun does not shine..
If more people did this it would stop the idiots trying it on all the damned time :Angry:
