Loyal customer for 5 years.
Never any problems until I renewed my insurance for a fifth year.
Got a strange text/email from them.
The text/email said that they need to do some checks and that I need to call them to ensure my policy is 'validated'.
So gave them a call.
Oh my word, the stress.
They asked how many miles I do a year.
Based on what I said, they calculated I do 6k miles and not 5k.
(Not sure where they justify their calculations from).
They decided my policy had to be changed - £71 for them to add incorrect info that shouldn't even change as I do 5k miles.
Account is frozen online until I pay that sum of money.
Can't cancel my policy online until I pay the money.
So made a complaint by email.
On the day I made a 2nd call back after the 1st one asap to dispute it.
No call back yet - I don't think they'll ever return the call.
Now I have the option to either cancel my policy, which I don't know how much it'll cost but imagining it'll cost a bomb.
Or stay with them for another year and risk that they will look for other errors in my policy and charge other unnecessary admin fees.
Awful. And not how you treat a loyal customer. DO NOT USE THIS CAR INSURER EVER.
