bennets insurance..... cheeky *********

[hovis]

just had a letter saying they will automaticly renew my insurance, and they are telling me when the payment will come out.

[gettin2dizzy]

This happened to me at A-quote. I paid for 5 months insurance before I realised. Impressed I was not.

[Alpinestarhero]

Ring them and tell them you want your insurance terminated at the end of the current term, and that you dont want to reknew.

They are cheeky, i think a few people have fallen foul of that little trick.

"made for bikers" apparently. Methinks nope

[hovis]

i thought it was just a quote, so i was going to just rip it up and chuck it......... good job i checked

A lot of insurance companies have an auto-opt in for automated renewals.

I suggest reading the small print in the contract you signed. :)

That'll teach you for getting your insurance with Bennets!

All insurance companies do it 'for your benefit'

I often wonder how many numpties just let it get renewed without even noticing that the renewal is actually more than they paid the previous year.

What ****es me off about it is that you then have to spend 30 minutes waiting on a premium rate phone line just to tell them you dont want to renew and hence giving them even more money.

How do you think they manage to sponsor the whole of BSB? Your very kind donations. :lol:

They did it to me as well, I had a frank and free exchange of views with them, I can tell you.

Not surprised one iota,most firms,be it insurance, RAC credit/bank cards,all sorts automatically give you renewal of their product now unless you cancel. It is even worse if you have paid by a card as they keep a record of the old transaction and already have all your details.
One of the reasons I prefer to pay by a cheque in the post

Make sure when you cancel the insurance you call ya bank and cancel the direct debit.

My sis-in-law (to be) called her car insurance and cancelled, but they didnt cancel and carried on taking payment unknown to her. She must be like me and never checked her bank statements.

E-bike do it too.

Sent me a letter on the 18th saying that they will automatically renew on the 21st unless i cancel giving 5 days notice...

needless to say, me, impressed, not.

Aha!! Didn't with me. Just gave me a quote and asked if I wanted to renew...which was nice.:smt020

They are all similar cheeky peeps. My favourite is the fact that the operatives seem to know little or nothing about bikes.

I was looking for insurance for my new trumpet D675. When telling them the make I got this reply "triumph?, and how are you spelling that?" then the next question was "has it got a sidecar fitted?" I was suprised they didnt ask how many doors it has got ! :hackedoff:

[chutz]

bennets did the same to me even though I specifically told them not to as they're quote was crap. They said I couldn't do that as there was too much of my policy left but I think if 4 months before the end of a policy I want to give instructions not to renew then that's my right. Won't ever use them again so their loss

have a look at this, saved me loads by calling the local numbers instead of the 0870, 0871, 0845...
