Having had my car insurance with this company for a year, they wrote to me three weeks before my renewal date to tell me that they would take the new premium (60%increase on last year) from my account up to 7 days before renewal date. I didn't recall giving them permission to automatically renew, but when I checked back it was hidden in the small print of my policy. Had it not been for Covid 19, I would have been away on holiday, not seen the letter until my return and the money could been debited from my account before I had the chance to do anything about it. Morally reprehensible, my advice would be not to use this company at all. These companies should be subjected to much tighter regulations.
