Do NOT go with..................... Elephant Insurance

Got my motor insurance from another company this year and didn't contact Elephant but the tw@ts at Elephant have been trying to get money out of my bank account to renew the policy from last year, WTF !!!

 

Lesson to be learnt..

Always cancel your direct debits. Don't trust the companies to cancel them

 

auto renew?

Are you sure that your policy small print didn't say that unless you contact them to specifically cancel then your policy would renew for a further 12 months?

 

Go with Virgin spot on and when I bought a brand new car the price went down to cheaper than if I insured my 7 year old car

 

Elephant were v.v good when the missus had a smack. Everything sorted quickly free courtesy car when hers was in for repair. When the renewal came through big price hike due to loss of no claims, did a bit of searching phoned them up and said that Admiral were £150 cheaper and weren't they the same company. Girl on the other end came back after a few minutes and said the best that they could do was £209 cheaper than their original quote. I quite like them at the mo, although for my car I've gone with Admiral.

 

I don't have an elephant to insure!

It will be auto-renewal - must car insurance companies do it, you just have to contact them when you get the renewal notice if you don't wish to renew. It's to safeguard people from forgetting to renew and finding themselves uninsured.

 

Beware the 'automatic renewal' contained in some policies.

Had a quote of £199 for insuring my car, NCB protection etc. Phoned company up and asked if they could do it any cheaper. 10 Seconds later guy comes with a quote of £149 which i accepted.

 

RE:just shows how thick you are,your supposed to cancel it. nt

 

Auto renew !!!...................who the foooking hell invented that !!!

What used to happen is that the insurance company sent you a reminder
You then phoned round different companies, or now its confused.com and the like, yer get yer quote and yer pay it

Now, why do you have to read the small print, in affect what they are doing is trying to pull the wool over yer eyes by actually starting up a standing order without you or your bank or anyone else (except the insurers) knowing about it. Then over time they charge you what ever they want...........no competition
This must be illegal...........

Foooking Elephant sending me emails wanting my bank details on an email so they can get money straight from my account, how dangerous and daft is that FFS !!!

 

LOL

..

 

RE:just shows how thick you are........let me put this more simply for you pointdexter

You walk into a bar and you buy a pint at £2-50...........you stand at the bar and the bar man keeps giving you pint after pint

You start to walk out of the bar and the bar man stops you

Bar man...........where you going

You...........I'm leaving

Bar man ..........yer cant you have just supped 10 pints

You.........but you gave them to me, I didn't ask for them

Bar man............look just pay up, you owe £38.50

You..............foooking likely, 10 pints at £2.50, thats £25

Bar man........oh no it isn't, the first pint was £2.50, after the first pint it went up to £4 a pint, DIDN'T YER READ THE SMALL PRINT...........better still, while you was at the bar you should have shouted for me while I was watching tele in the back room and told me that you didn't want to purchase another pint while you was in the bar.


I'm sure you tell the bar man this at every opportunity dont yer pointdexter

(dunno) (dunno) (dunno) (dunno) (dunno) (dunno)

Yet another quality offering from Nudger

 

daft analogy really........

difference is, when you signed up for the insurance, you electronically signed that you agreed to the t&cs, the fact that you didn't read them merely highlights that you're the numpty, sorry.

 

RE: daft analogy really........exiled....................

is it you that keeps looking through our kitchen window and pulling faces at the microwave oven

if it is ........STOP IT !!!............yer frightening the budgie

if its not.........how the fooking hell do you know what is signed and what is not signed in this house ??? !!!!

 

RE: daft analogy really........exiled....................

cos you cant take out an online policy without agreeing to the t&cs.
I shouldn't really be bringing factual content to this rant should I?
OK, I'll humour you.

 

and yer microwave wants cleaning and yer yoghurts out o date. nt
