Adrian Fux - auto renewl?

[L18M]

just had a sms saying my policy will auto renewl if i dont contact them by such and such a date.

this happen to anyone else with adrian flux?
bit :2Mad as they just take the money out of your card / account you previously paid with without prior warning.

Its with most insurance companies now, but you say without prior warning, but they have sms you, this is the prior warning lol

I had this with another company, shopped around and found a better deal elsewhere but forgot about the auto-renewal and was charged twice :2Mad.  Fortunately the original insurer processed a refund quickly when I told them.

Same here, they did it to me despite me calling and saying I would not be renewing. I\'m still chasing them now for the £300 they owe me- four years and they won\'t give it back!

Adrian Flux? Total waste of space, and nothing more than theives.

yes they sms me, which i got this morning... rang them up and they said they took the money out last monday.

might as well kick me in the gonads and send me a sms saying "we bent you over last nigh but were kind enough to use vasline :chat"


:Hammer

if i was driving the car maybe i wouldnt mind so much but paying for 3000 miles cover on the policy and just covering 30 miles per year for 2 years takes the .... a bit.
ok not insurance company fault but didnt need to know about the auto renewal

You should be able to claim in back via your card issuer if you didn\'t authorise it.

i was thinking that but the insurer said  its in the small print.
will call up more quotes today. if i get it down a bit then i\'ll be happy

I bet it is but if they didn\'t have your specific authorisation for that transaction you should be able to claim it back. Credit cards especially do have a lot of protection so worth a try - I hope you get it sorted.

called up a few places today...

i feel like im 18 again! silly quotes from the usual places, thats IF they would insure me!
sky insurance couldnt get below £550, Aviva originally said £420 then after a bit of sweet talking they said £385 until i asked them about mods then they replied me they wont insure me.

So i guess i\'m sticking with Adrian Fux.

Thanks for the help / comments peeps

Happened with me too, had the auto renewal palaver. Worst thing is my DD is an old Merc E300 estate and that still costs £600 with full no claims. And they were the cheapest!
