policy automatic renewal, crafty gits

[timwilky]

Well today I opened a junk mail or so I thought.

It would appear that 6 years ago, I took out what I thought was a free insurance option on my credit card to protect against the cost of misuse.

Now the cheeky buggers want to charge me 70 quid automatically against my credit card. I must have missed the last automatic renewal.

I have cancelled it now. So just glad I caught this one.

The waffle to say what protection I get, licences, passport, wallet, keys assistance. FFS I can sort all that myself if any of them get lost quite easily.

I have not used my credit card for over 3 years, it sits in the safe with my important docs, so why do I need to insure against mis use?


and blinking annoyed that anyone can make a charge against my card without explicit authorisation. or is that the mis use they would have paid out for?

my bike insurance tried the same last week..

automatic renewal "best deal in town"

yeah right.. took my extra 1 year NCB and knocked £200 off their premium on gocompare.

bye !!
