Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Already did.. Quoteline Direct
Look up their reviews on Google. I wish I had before I took the insurance. Seems I got away lightly. Just one of the many cons they try apparently.

Wow that's some glowing reviews.
Nice working ethic. Not.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Trustpilot holds 174 reviews. Think there were 6 5* (mostly by people naming the staff they had a positive experience from, apparently this a a flag for a fraudulent review), 4 2* and the rest 1*.
By far the most common statement was "if I could leave a zero star review I would". Seems a common tactic to threaten to cancel your policy followed by some extortion. Sent from an S20 using Tapatalk with that kin cr4p blocked

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
They sound just as bad as GoSkippy were when they started out - Quote you one price then take £500 more and only tell you after that 'your circumstances' were outside the previous price blah, blah, blah.
Complain to the Ombudsman about thier practices and if you were lucky enough to use a Credit Card then they may be more than happy to go after the funds otherwise unless you have a lawyer as a relative your buggered. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
they tell you that its a DD but if you read the small print on some its actually a loan so no DD guarantee and if you cancel you are still due 100% + admin fees due to taking a loan. also try cancelling a DD at your bank and see how many hurdles you have to jump.
ALWAYS pay either full amount or by credit card.. NEVER EVER trust brokers (you cant buy insurance direct well you can but there are very very few who underwrite their own insurance). i know for some this is not feasible so you are stuck between a rock etc.etc. |
