insurance comparison sites

[scaniaman]

Don't know if these sites are designed by "Clones" but they are certainly set up for "Clones". Irrespective of how good a lifetime record you have, they are only interested in your last 3 years history. Most sites do not have any provision to explain circumstances, and ask stupid questions in relation to Cost of Claims. One company actually admitted to me that they don't really need this info, but just ask. (how in the hell are you supposed to evaluate third party claims?). Having spent night after night on these sites, typing in the same repetitive questions, i got really P----d off, and phoned a company I used to insure with. Because I could explain my circumstances, I got a very good quote in about 10 mins, and just accepted it. A major problem with most insurance companies is that they have never read a dictionary, to find out what the meaning of "Comprehensive" is. When you add up all their "Extras" many of their quotes are not all that competitive. Some of them blatently Cherry Pick their customers.

I have just been in touch with the OFT, amongst others, to report a racket wherebye a person may have a perfect record for all their driving life, but are treated like a teenager just because they can't prove last 3yrs history, which means they start at square one with no NCB. How many wifes/partners have only been named drivers for many years? Because of stupid nature of on- line questionaire, it makes me wonder how many cars are technically not insured, as HONEST people have inadvertantly told lies in the completion of these proposal forms.

Methinks these Ins. companies are in need of a shake up similar to what banks are presently going through.

Wish many others would also complain
