Your all probably sick of hearing about this, but am paying 231 a month car insurance (third party, and thats with pass plus) at the moment. After weeks of searching myself, and with help of a few others, it was the best price I could find. I know a few of you will find that hard to believe, (me arl fella and birds dad wouldn't let it rest for weeks, couldn't believe it) but honest to god, it was the best price.

Anyway - I checked a few tonight which I had checked prior, such as churchill and direct line and I am now being given a lot cheaper?

Direct Line is 180 a month fully comp, while Churchill is 195 :huh: that's without mentioning pass plus.

Any idea why they have suddenly dropped their price by so much? I suspect its because I am now on some sort of database as a paying customer so they offer a more competitive price to make me join?

Baffled.
 
insurance is perverse.

could have sworn i mentioned a friend that was quotes £400 for third party, but under £200 for fully comp.

the individual mentioned is a woman and has never been insured under her own policy before. that she drives a really old knackered (sp) car made it all the galling.

get swapped asap.

£231 a month must really grate.
 
i lived in christchurch in new zealand for a while, you only have to be 15 to drive and you dont need to get insurance, i had a nissan skyline there & insured it fully comp for £100, brought the car back & it was £1300 third party (no fire & theft) and they made me pay it all up front. had to take it off the road when i lost my job and 7 years later there it still sits. missus says , and so do you !! don't ya love 'em
 
what are you saying there?

that you imported the car from new zealand? and it has now lived on bricks for seven years?

mate go 3rd party and say youre car is worth £50!!!! ok i now it could [Poor language removed] you if you crash!!! but just dont crash!!!!!!
 

yep, but they're cheap over there, and i had a good year in it. it might qual. for classic soon as its an old one, but it still looks great and you should see the faces of the corsa tossers when i let them get a start at the lights on the lancs then get along side and floor it, did it once and when i got to about 50 and they thought they were great i floored it, it span the wheels and they saw me disappear into the night. hefty on the juice though.it's 1 of those cars that if u got rid you'de always wish you hadn't. drive a jeep now on lpg, costs less to run than wifes little 206. and can go over the top of the corsa tossers......especially red ones, can't think why.
 
When my uncle died he left me a camper van 6months old and the insurance was less than half on a two year old megane
 
I gave up trying to run a house and a car last year, the rising cost of fuel, ridiculous insurance premiums and maintainance meant something had to give, and i wasn't going to let my living standards drop, so it was bye bye car, best thing i ever did .
 
I sold a car recently and tried to cancel the insurance - the annual premium was nearly £700 (around £52 a month) and 2 payments were "outstanding" at the time of the sale. As I had paid £560 odd at the 9 month point I naturally presumed that I was entitled to about a £50 refund. The moron (with a Sarf African voice) tried to explain that the Cancellation Fee was £2.80 but they wanted £125 outstanding - I just cancelled the Direct Debit (and obviously never got my £50 - tossers).

Actually explain is a bit strong a word - too dim to understand me!

I've had several disagreements with Financial Institutions, Life Insurance

Non-payment of benefits
Non-payment of interest

Load of crap the lot of them - and as for Norwich Union - shi*heads cost me a lot of money thanks to f**kbrained financial advice.

Oh and while I'm at it - don't have a T-mobile phone - pile of sh*tbags.

If anyone's interested they can black-list Cato Crane Auctioneers in Liverpool as well.

And breathe....

Buy a bike. Cheap as chips and the only danger you face is from JonEFC and Dynamite zooming around like Bonny and Clyde, spraying gravel in your face. Plus you get legs of steel and you can accost young ladies with "hey baby, feel my thighs", to which they reply "ooh my, is that a bike pump or are you pleased to see me?".

It's what Rodders uses every weekend.

cathartic?

when paying bills by cheque, have you ever put an extra penny on just to mess them about?
