Got rid of my car due to the cost to get it fixed and to run it. Been insured since June and i want to cancel the insurance policy. They want £115 to cancel!! Apparently have to pay for the extras i added in full if i cancel it! Well pissed off! Anybody else ever had this? When ive cancelled policies before they just ended it.

 

Don't know what extras you added, but if the insurer paid another firm up front for a year's supply on your behalf and then allowed you to pay monthly for these services as part of your payment to them, why shouldn't you pay the outstanding amounts?

 

Paying monthly is in a way a loan on a 12 month policy. As Iain said many policies are via brokers etc and have paid for you in full already.

Its crap like but pretty much anything to do with insurance is infuriating

 

its usually a credit like agreement with insurance these days, as said above your insurer will have paid a 3rd party up front.
or possibly not and theyre just scamming you.

 

It was legal protection i think it. Worked out a few £ extra a month. Just never had to pay to cancel a policy before. Usually just ok n its done. Ah well i kno better nx time! Or just stick to the bus lol as its currently saving me £250 a month

 

£250 a month? What you driving?

 

£250 a month?

 

Count yourself lucky mate. If I was only spending £250 a month I'd be well chuffed. I do that in petrol alone each month

 

im often £200 a week fuel. but £250 a month insurance makes me glad that im old.

 

God i thought my £83 a month was alot but that is on my mums insurance so dread to think what it would be on my own!

Like the others said too, i was doing £70 a week on fuel too so £280 a month then like your £250! Thats £530 a month just to drive the dam thing if i was you!!

 

Tell me about it, £250 on a month insurance is more than what I pay to insure 3 cars for a year
