Had the insurance renewal from them about a month ago - it had gone up by 50%! Stuff that, thinks I, so I go online and get same cover but with breakdown cover too for 90 quid.
Now comes the hard bit - trying to get hold of Bennetts to say I don't want to renew. After 2 weeks of getting no further than engaged or put on hold on their phone number, I decide to write telling them not to renew, sending the letter in the pre paid envelope.
What turns up today? New policy from Bennetts, thanking me for renewing with them!
This time of course, the phone is answered staright away, and on trying to explain to the girl on the other end of the line, all I got was "we ain't got no letter" and that I should have tried harder to get through on the phone! Also it will cost me 20 quid to cancel.
Got her to cancel and told her she can whistle for the 20 quid!
This is not the 1st time I have had this scenario with vehicle insurance either.
Anyone else had the same sort of probs with insurance companies?
