Originally posted by Zamfir Article from what source, and where does the latter get their ad revenue...? And from how big a sample of policies (number of companies, and number of policies for each company...)? You catch my drift. 'Sides, markets may fluctuate faster than printing presses can run. Good luck!! I stated the source - Which? It's completely independent. No advertising. THE one to trust in the UK. Good point about the fluctuating markets though.

Originally posted by niomosy That means there's a fair chance there's other ones out there that are better that you didn't know about! Hopefully you find a better car insurance company than this one. Cheaper, yes. But last year, when they were pissing me around over the no claims discount, Mum sent me a Which? with an article on car insurance and it said they were the best value for money.

Well, after being on hold for 40 minutes (thank God it was a free call!!) They said they could offer me a discount of £76, so I told them not to renew me. This is kinda scary. That's the only insurance company I've ever been with.

Originally posted by Zamfir Ah, I see UK auto insurance companies are equally skilled in the art of screwing consumers. Frankly, since the accident(s) occurred, and claims were initiated, while the old policy was in force, I wouldn't think they should have any wiggle room on that one. I haven't had one single year where the renewal has gone through without me having to call to complain and harrass. Last year, they quoted me almost £2000 because they cancelled my no claims discount after the neck injury accident. It took three weeks for me to convince them to reinstate it. How many times do you need to say, "The third party has admitted liability and you have refunded me my excess - this accident is not my fault!" The accident was Oct 05, so there's no way they can use that as an excuse this time.

Originally posted by Zamfir Again? Is this the neck incident, or the psycho-lady-driving-off incident? This is my renewal quote. I paid for the driving off damage so I wouldn't lose my no claims discount. Insurance company don't even know about it. Last year: £543.90 with 3 years no claims discount (55%) This year: £733.95 with 4 years no claims discount (60%) Went to theaa.com (searches all companies). Identical quote, except with £100 excess instead of £200 £525.89 With my current company, if I want to protect my no claims discount it will cost me £163.80 With the AA quote, the same thing will cost me £75.49 I'm on hold to the current company now to demand they beat the AA price!! Only problem is, my personal injury claim isn't settled yet and the solicitor's fees are covered by legal assistance I pay on the policy. I don't know if that will be affected should I change companies.

My car insurance company are trying to screw me

Originally posted by oldivor Ugh, that sucks, Mel. Especially for 45 pounds too! I know I having my hair get in my FOV. May I suggest this? I opted for one of these: But in brown, not hot pink!

Originally posted by frunobulax as i say to SWMBO, it'll grow out. did you do something radical? It's the shortest it's been since I was 8 years old. I also somehow let him talk me into a fringe, which I haven't had since I was 8, and that's the bit I hate. If the fringe part were long enough to be able to call it a feather and to be able to tuck it behind my ear, I'd love it. The fringe is spoiling it. It looks stupid, it won't stay where it's supposed to be, and it's getting in my eyes. Can't believe I paid £45 for this.

Originally posted by niomosy Hey! At least it's not shaved bald! Right now I think that would be better

Originally posted by frunobulax happy holidays to you, Mel! Thanks. I just ruined them though. I had my hair cut, and I hate it.
