other party wouldn't let me pay the bill!

Lesson for everyone, avoid Direct Line unless you never leave your driveway!!

in a way i'm glad i'm not the only one! still sucks though. I'll be trying hic as my golf project is nearly up and running. admiral and elephant have quoted about £200 less than anyone else so they're an option too.

Hic havnt rang me back today I'm going to try and get in touch with them tomorow as renewal is 13 december. Anything cheaper than durect line will do. With all my mids included 2000 is my limit I rekon

[mick ov mids]

hic are the way forward , they saved my over £800 on my renewal quote, was with privelege for a yr and payin £855 for the 1st yr, 2nd yr with another years no claims and 1 yr older in age ther wanted £1600+

My mates insurance was a grand on his 1.3 then for the 2nd year with 1yrs ncb went up 2 2grand. Its crazy stuff int it.

[benny1234black]

insurance is a rip off i could not get a cheaper quote than 2100. oh well

My advice would to ring them and discuss it. Don't go crazy at them, just say that you think there's been a mistake. It could be that the case is still "pending" in their claim files and as such it is still showing as an unpaid outstanding matter. Or it could be that as you suggest that someone's pressed the wrong button.

Don't fly off the handle as it will only be the monkey you're talking to, not the organ grinder. If needed, ask to speak to a supervisor. If you go nuts at them straight away they are more likely not to want to do anything for you as you'll have antagonized them. Be calm, and state your case. Remember you don't have to take their offer straight away. Think about it for a few days and get some alternative quotes. But you MUST declare any unsettled claims. Hope this helps.
