Our daughter bought my car last Saturday and she has insured it in her own name. I have also informed the DVLA of the change of ownership. I have 8 months left on my own insurance so I phoned the company hoping to get a refund as I had paid a year in advance. Their reply was a £60 cancellation charge plus 15% of the 8 months left !! .
How can they do that? It takes 2 seconds to cancel it by just pressing a button on their keyboard.
The way they work it, I could have ended up owing them money !
Anyway, after a bit of a discussion, they agreed to cancel my policy at midnight tonight and call it quit.
I am still out of pocket as I am losing 8 months worth of premiums.
The whole business is a rip off really and should not be allowed. .
I am disgusted with the whole thing really but there is nothing anyone can do . It is just sheer profiteering at our expense.
