| adrian flux,,, before you spend,,,,, |
|
wanted to add another warning re adrian Flux,
so i took out insurance with them 6 weeks ago,, total cost of £500 for work use, inc offroad winch etc etc,,
anyway, with the D3 going i phoned to cancel,, they calculated my policy severance at costing me over £200 for 6 weeks insurance..
the small print is that when you opt to pay monthly ( a sensible business choice to spread the cost) i was not made aware that they would effectively sell my debt to a loan provider that charged 14% ETC ETC.
SO i'd actually taken out a loan without even realising it,,
a bunch of con artists,, i asked for the paper work that explains this as it was most certainly NOT said over the phone..
i didnt want to take out a loan to pay my insurance.. one wife.......livid

Ady, unfortunately it's not usually possible to buy monthly insurance. You buy an annual policy and may pay for it monthly, but you're contracted to a year. The way around this is a loan, something the insurance industry failed to grasp for a number of years.
If AF failed to send you a properly executed credit agreement, a quick letter to their complaints department followed by an 8 week wait to refer to the FOS (which will cost AF £400) will get you a partial refund. If you DID get a credit agreement, you're screwed.
You've got my number if you want to chat  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I've always been of the opinion that the insurer could insist that you stump up the money for the full year, regardless of whether you keep the car of not.

Legally they can unless their T&C's clearly allow for partial refunds.
And by I mean  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
