When doing my research for my new insurance i tried various different things in confused.com to see how it would effect my payout. I took my insurance out with admiral about 2 weeks ago only to receive a letter today saying that one of the details i put in was wrong and there was an additional 280quid fee! :angry:
So i call them up and they say its because i put that i had 3 points in one of the quotes so they amused i must have them. I only put them down to see how it would effect my costs if i did get 3 points. I have now sent a copy of my drivers license to them so they can see i don't have any points.
Odd that they couldn't just ask the DVLA.... But be careful what you put into those comparison sites kids. :smiley:

lol i put that i had ncb then forgot about it, went away from the computer and came back a bit later, i decidced i liked the very cheep quote (as a learner driver) 1400 a year. so i thought bargin i will set that up now.
about 5 months later the company started saying can you provide evidence of your NCB... the penny dropped. but i did get away with cheeper insurence for ages and to this day i havent had to pay it back due to the fact that the car was stolen then found then scrapped, i have no idea how i got away with that, but it just goes to show making mistakes on forms can have good and bad consiquences
:rolleyes:

Yeah most of them store your info incase you decide you want cheaper prices so you leave off the claims and points for a while

you can see their point though cant you? I mean, its a bit odd to run through a quote too see how much it would be if you had a speeding conviction unless you are expecting to get one? :huh: :laugh:
I reckon in most cases (obviously not yours) where people run through a quote with and without a conviction, chances are they do have it but get tempted to non disclose by a cheaper premium in the hope the insurers wont pick up on it.....

Yeah it does make sense.There is the possibility a camera might have flashed :wink: but no ticket so is good.
What i thought was weird was that they could not get the info from the dvla with out me have a conference call. As the dvla could not share my information.
