Random Irritations

[Foxholer]

Motor insurance and insurance companies.

At one stage last year I had more points than Everton did after 10 games Some points have come off yet the insurance company still want to recognise them and charge me accordingly.....robbing fekirs

They obviously consider you a 'bad risk', which, knowing your driving points history, they are probably entitled to fo (at least from a 'risk' point of view).

Basically, to them, points coming off doesn't make a lower risk!

You could always change insurance companies or at least (something that should be done as a matter of course, get alternative quotes!

Put rubbish bin out for emptying yesterday to come home and find bin has disappeared. Only 3 properties here and no sign of theirs going missing , most peculiar, no other property within 1/4 mile so can only assume the dust cart swallowed it or it has been nicked.
Phoned council to order new one which will be 10 workings days as you can't collect new ones and we've a camping /party here for 24 at the weekend

Plus one!!!:angry:

Motorcycle renewal dropped into the inbox. Only 3 things have changed; I'm a year older, I have a year more no claims and the premium's jumped from £247 to £576.

Robbing farquhars doesn't get close. :sbox:

I think Bucks County Council have won the lottery or something.
It seems half the roads in Aylesbury are closed or being closed for works that getting from one side of the town to the other takes bit of working out!

My lad believes insurers have just got it in for motorcyclists BIGTIME... And, just invent new ways of hiking premiums...
He's just insured his new machine and as he's a boomerang kid living back at home with Mum & Dad it's reason to raise his premium...

First time he's come across that one...
And, hopefully has him see the light and find his own place again...

Torn ligaments in my right shoulder.
Rest required hope its not too long

The whole problem in my opinion is that motor insurance has become a licence to print money for repairers, vehicle hire firms, claims monkeys and various other hangers on who consider it reasonable to extort a living out of car and bike users.

Motor insurance as it was conceived is a good idea and I have no issue paying it, but it's now become an absolute joke. I'd say it needs a Government enquiry but it actually needs a competent agency to do the job.

I understand they see me as "a risk" but if my points have been removed by the DVLA then surely insurance companies can only charge me for what i currently have and not had.

When i had my latest lot of points added, my insurance doubled. Now some have come off my insurance has increased and i havent had a claim. 10yrs NCD

No mate. The DVLA's use of the points is purely for licensing purposes. Insurance companies can use them as they see fit, it's their ball so they can do as they want. As I said, in principle it's a good idea but it needs an overhaul or better regulation as it is Government licensed robbery at the moment in my opinion.

Ah right i stand corrected.

On a brighter note, i've just had to verify payments via email and they've knocked nearly £150 off the initial renewal quote after i called them last week

Always used to be 3 years to match the DVLA, most if not all up it to 5 years as they can put up the premium.

The other one I hated was having been off bikes for a few years, you'd ring up for a quote;

"Got any no claims bonus?"
"Got 7 years on the car."
"Doesn't count mate, you're insuring a bike. Any accidents?"
"Yeah but they don't count, they were in a car."
"Oh no, we need to know about them......"

Not impressed.

The retarded road workers outside who've dug up the path and blocked me into a factory I'm working in.

 

[Dando]

the local council who decided to cut down the tree outside my house which gave some lovely shade in the afternoons. now my house is like a furnace.

Likely to be selected to play an inter-club K/O match vs Wentworth - at Wentworth. They are suggesting a weekday - to get best Wentworth experience ... why? Dunno - maybe weekends are chocka with groups hacking round in 6 hours. But I have no holiday left. Weekends I can only play two sunday afternoons and these are unlikely to be what the match arrangers go for.

Just gently irritating...
