I've been chased for a couple of months now by bell direct.

Two years ago I finished with them and didn't renew my insurance and went else where as they was over twice the amount of every other company. I had been with them for 8-9 years and every year the renewal was higher than the competitors so i'd ring them up, they'd knock some off and i'd stay as they was helpful and i'd found them good with changes to policy etc.

One day a few months ago I had an email from sam & dave at some debt collection company saying i'm to log into their website and pay up for a matter regarding bell direct. I ignored the first email thinking it was a scam, then they rang my parents and sent another email. I contacted bell direct and they didn't know nothing about it and gave me a number to the wrong debt collection company to enquire about it.

After speaking with some idiot at the sam & dave company and trying to find out what was going on they said the following.

I'd renewed the policy and paid the fee in the morning and then cancelled the policy in the evening. I said to the bloke on the phone are they some sort of idiots, why would I pay the first instalment which is normally £100+ to start the policy to only cancel it in the evening, i'd at least get the months usage as i'd paid it. He said he didn't know but the £100+ cancellation fee (even tho i'd run the term of the policy and cancelled it with notice etc) would still need paying.

Suffice to say he didn't like my response of he ain't getting a penny from me, and not to bother even trying. They have stopped the emails (or i've blocked them, I can't remember now) and they tried contacting my parents via letter/phone to be told I don't live there and not to contact them again.

I used to think bell wasn't too bad, guess I was wrong.
