Re: Insurers (of all stripes)

My wife received a letter today from her car insurer (Aviva) enclosing a cheque for just over £30. Apparently they had mistakenly over charged her when she renewed her insurance in August. So they aren't all crooks and thieves :lol: Probably overcharged her £60 - £30 was less the processing fee :lo...

Re: Insurers (of all stripes)

Our home renewal doubled in price so I went online and got a quote from them as a new customer which was less than we paid last year. I phoned them up, had a moan, and they renewed for the online price without too much difficulty.
