    Just want to renew my insurance on my spare car and I’ve just put a cherished reg on it but it’s now gone up at the least £100 on sites. I got the best price quoted for £160 Hastings direct on comparison sites on the old number but when I took the offer up and explained I’ve just done a plate transfer Hastings direct bumped it up to £512!! Who’s in charge of all these dick heads??

    I wonder if you had renewed under the old plate then changed plates mid term what would they charge? Thats madness!

    The thing is as they have such a bad reputation I thought I’ll do it first so I don’t get stung through admin. If I renew it now on the old number then the slippery fuckers can just scream ‘fraud’. Would the insurance ombudsman be interested I wonder?

    Shareholders. Insurance is big business. They like to take your money, but don't like to pay out.
    And then there's fraud..............................whole other cup 'o tea.

    They probably thought because you have a cherished plate you've got more momey than sense Eric so decided to load the policy. They were half right.........
