    Default Is this worth fighting for?

    I twice had my direct debiticon fail on my car insuranceicon. Each time the company wrote to me and said they would take the direct debit again in a few days but that they would also take an extra £25 adminicon fee. I then cancelled my direct debits so it could not happen again and also wrote to the insurance to cancel the policy. They have now sent me a final bill for £77. I refused to pay it unless they told me exactly how the £77 was arrivede at and also pointed out that they had taken £50 off me unfairly and so I wanted that deducting from the 77. I had no response but now have had a letter from a solicitor saying I must pay within 7 days or they will take further action.
    Shall I stick to my guns or should I pay up? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

    i would write formally to them asking for a Breakdownicon.

    Have you had any cover from this policy and if so have you actually paid anything at all?

    If you have had cover then you must pay for that i presume unless you have a reason not to.

    All policies will have cancellation terms in the contract, and so expect them to try to enforce that.

    be interested to hear more details from you.

    Have you made a claim during the period of the policy?

    I have never encountered an insurer adminicon charge for a reapplication for a direct debiticon payment before. Which insurer is this?

    At first glance it sounds like the insurers are taking a leaf out of the banks' books. What a stupid time to do it, with everyone caught up in the reclaiming rush, and a possible test case this Friday...

    I did have cover and have been paying monthly for it, I have had no claims. I cancelled it because I was so annoyed at them taking £25 for the failed direct debits. I know thats my fault but its still a lot of money for something like a failed DD. I have written to them to ask them to break down the final cost so I know what they are charging me for and I also asked them to deduct the £50 they had taken off me unfairly from the sum owed. They have not replied at all but have put it in the hands of a solicitor who has written to say I have 7 days to send payment. The company are called ITS 4 ME.
