Mentioned before, but my car insurance. My renewal has doubled. 
. No change in anything, no claims, etc. Even when I called up, the telephone underwriter was embarrassed. "It's just the market now, sorry, sir". He did give me £40 off on the spot - tiny win.
Looked on money comparison sites...yup, best quote is double last years. Bugger.

I don't care what some claim .. the "existing customers get same deals as new" had buggered EVERYONE
We all get rubbish deals now..
All because some people aren't able to shop around so they make it so we all get shafted

Car insurance - HID's was less this year than last with current company and couldn't be beaten so not all have increased. Mine isn't due until March so that my be different.

I suspect the new law that states existing customers get the same deal as new customers has failed to prescribe that the renewal price initially offered must be so.
Seems that you only get the same price as a new customer if you take the trouble to call and challenge the renewal.
My house insurance was due for renewal end of January. Halifax offered me £230 - up from £170 last year.
Called them and they instantly reduced it to £190 without batting an eyelid.
(Still ended up switching to Admiral - same cover for £155).

That is because we have to wait to be told how much it is before we decide if we can afford it.

My renewal was cheaper than last year (December renewal date) so I just stayed with the same provider.
2 years on the trot they've sent me through a renewal price cheaper than I paid the year before. Both by about £4 a month or so..

That's what insurance should do tho. You drive no claims goes up years of driving goes up
Risk should drop you should be offered a lower price
That's the whole point

I agree! Its with Aviva - and I must say, they've never given me an issue.
Had my windscreen fully replaced due to a crack last year and no up in my premium... They've got themselves a long term customer!

I have just written something regarding Admiral on the Insurance Thread. We are in a rural area and have 2 cars, total annual mileage around 10,000 and under £400 with house Ins. Expecting an increase.

Heard Mick Lynch, The ASLEF guy and the other today for a short while being ‘ interviewed’ together.There is no way this will be sorted soon as both parties are entrenched in their own ideals.

Well whilst the gov is trying to force through a bill that goes against the human rights act it's going to just cause more arguments
Grow up and everyone just talk for crying out loud

Premium bonds for the kids
3 Seperate accounts one for each of the kids
3 standing orders every month
3 stupid pointless letters confirming my investment every month
You can go paperless as an adult but not for kids?
For goodness sake stop sending me letters
