Hi all, i am hoping i will get an answer for when i get round to deal with this tomorrow.
Ok, basically - i have been with my car insurance company for 2 months now and i had paid for this in full, i was with them a year before and renewed it.
Now, randomly today i receive an email from them thanking me for changing my policy - started to get worried as i never changed anything, i called them - they advised that i have to now pay an extra £690 due in 7 days because apparantly the points on my licence (3 points for no entry) TS30 was not declared, i am near enough certain that i mentioned this to them on the phone when comfirming details.
This was laughable so i told them i would like to cancel the policy and the lady said ah ok, no problem- she came back and said she would waive the admin cancellarion fee but my refund was £120 (bear in mind i paid £790 in full about 1 1/2 months ago for 10 months), i asked why was the refund so low and they answered, oh you didn't declare this in the last years insurance you had with us so the difference is what you should have paid last year!!
Are they allowed to do this? what should i say.......I can't cancel because i need the car for work and i dont have an extra £690 to pay them!!! they are really playing me.
You will ask why i never declared my points in my first years insurance with them!? i have no excuse i forgot.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
