Report
Had car insurance with these jokers years ago. They cancelled my insurance without telling me. A couple of months later I was routinely pulled over by the police to find out I was uninsured. Was fined and banned from driving because of the incompetence of this so called insurance company. When I contacted them about it during my query to provide a suitable defence they claimed they had never heard of me despite still having a copy of the insurance and contract. I cannot believe people still use this company. Whatever your insurance needs I would suggest taking a policy out with a more main stream
