JEFF PRESTRIDGE: Fed up with high car cover? Then put your foot down
Although car insurance premiums are said to have fallen off the cliff – more than 10 percent last year – that’s not what I heard because of the famous coal.
Far from him. Apparently, a number of insurance companies continue to send renewal notifications, which are stratospheric premium increases, hoping that customers will pay them without having an eyelid. Ugly behavior.
Many customers pay for a few reasons: the insurers always do the right one by them, not shopping around (lack of internet fear or access), forgetfulness or bad time management.
Other customers usually result in a lower premium, which forces their insurers to justify the increase – or cancels the renewal and uses a comparison website to buy cheaper cover anywhere else.
Among the knowledgeable brigade, there is Danny Russell, a marketing advisor from Thames Ditton in Surrey. Last year, this time, I talked about the 49 percent increase in the insurer Admiral, who wanted to apply to the very closed policy (home and engine) that Julia was with them in the renewal. They live in a beautiful house with five bedrooms and use a Peugeot E-208.
Bilgili: Marketing Advisor Danny Russell wants others to follow the leadership and challenge insurance companies
Although he has not made any allegations since he was insured with admiral four years ago, he wanted to increase his insurer premiums from £ 617 to £ 921. Danny did not have it, and with Aviva (Home) and Hastings Direct (CAR), he saved more than £ 170 by making an alternative cover.
Last month, Danny and Julia received renewal notifications from Aviva and Hastings in their 50s. Considering that they did not make any claims and did not give any penalty points about driver’s licenses, they expected any premium increase to be at a minimum. Indeed, half of them hoped that the cost of the covers could fall.
Aviva were good men, offers a premium higher than the previous year – a premium of 1.8 percent – £ 433,08 instead of £ 425.28. The couple immediately accepted. A result.
However, Hastings wanted to increase the price of the car cover by 64 percent – £ 532.63 from £ 324.45. Danny did not have it, and the same car cover from AXA £ 234.93 – cheaper than Hastings’s renovation price and found 28 percent less cheaper than he paid 12 months ago.
Considering the automatically adjusted to be renewed with Hastings, he stole it to report that he wanted to cancel. After waiting for nine minutes to answer the call, a series of questions that led to a new renewal price were asked: last year’s premiere cheaper 324.07 £ or 38p.
A confused Danny should have offered a price of £ 324.07 since the beginning, ” he said. ‘If it were, I would have accepted immediately.’ ‘
On Friday, Hastings said Danny’s first renovation premium was based on policy details – then updated when he contacted them, which resulted in a reduced premium.
You are right. However, Danny believes that the current pricing (and sometimes reconstruction) of renewal premiums is discriminatory because punishes Inert.
In many cases, they are vulnerable, old people who do not use the Internet. Unacceptable.
We must be right to pay with cash
The Payment Selection Alliance (PCA) does what they say on the tin.
While shopping for people, traveling on a bus, drinking in a bar or a football match, he is passionate to give the right to choose how to pay for goods.
This is not just ‘card’, not just ‘card’, but as it is increasingly increasing.
The evidence it offers to support the payment selection is very large. According to PCA President Ron Delnevo, 88 percent of people believe that England should not be cashless, while 71 percent requires a law that requires retailers to accept cash payments. Posh Baker Gail’s, Coffee Shop Ole & Steen and Italian Restaurant Chain Zizzi include frustrating businesses in a frustrating way.
Last Thursday, the BBC, Plymouth Argyle’s Home Park Stadium, a cup of tea buying a cup of tea, a 81 -year -old football fan, when the money went to pay him (and thrown) reported. Like many football fields, home park is also in cash.
Card only: Gail’s will not accept cash among companies
Fan David Evans said he was discriminated against an opinion shared by the Cash Campaign (CFC) Martin Quinn interviewed. Delnevo says that the support of MPs is overwhelming for a law that requires retailers to offer cash as a payment election. But labor is not interested – indeed because there were no previous conservative governments.
Interestingly, the Labor Party has chosen a cash -free space in Liverpool to host the party conference later on this month.
The selection of payment must be a right. MPs think so, PCA and CFC think so – most readers certainly do. The government should not ignore them.
80 days up to the budget …
There are 80 long today (late) to wait before delivering the Exchequer Chancellor Autumn budget.
How curved.
Unfortunately, considering the negligent situation of the country’s financial situation, there will be very few of them.
The rumors of new tax rises on the pipeline 80 days will not swell to the surface.
Last month, revenues from the purchase, pensions and reports of possible tax attacks on our homes were not discussed by the Treasury officials. Probably in the gifts of people to reduce inheritance tax Bills when they die.
In the coming weeks, the Treasury will not have any permission to help Labour explore a hole of £ 50 billion to the financing of the country where the reluctance of the ax for public expenditures.
