keep your insurance renewal notifications!!

[doug boardley]

having recently renewed my l200 insurance with a different company, they asked me to send my renewal notice from my old insurer as proof of no claims discount. I'd shredded it after deciding to go elsewhere so I rang them up and told them this, but I did have verification on a policy schedule. This would be fine they said, so I sent it off to them. Got a letter today from them saying that not received no claims proof so that my premium would have to be raised from £380 to £1302.00:yikes:, needless to say I played holy hell with them and demanded that they sort it out there and then before I rang my bank and cancelled direct debits.
They said that they needed proof and could I fax them a copy:mad2:, "look, I've sent you the damned thing and i can even tell you the address that I sent it to:incazzato:"
to cut a long story short I said "why not ring my previous insurers up and ask them, but I'm holding the line!"
They did, and I got an apology,...rant over, (seems to have been a "van" day today!)

I found on a renewel notice the previous company did'nt put the no claims discount so had to ring them for proof of discount so my new company could issue me with the insurance certificate.

I think he took me seriously when I told him I'm nearly 48, not a spotty faced boy racer (along with a few more non-abusive expletives:lol
