Crashed my mk4
« on: 19 February 2012, 17:46 »
I'm 20, DID have a years no claims, it was £2700 for the year for a 1.4, which for a start is ridiculous, now if my cars a write off will I have to pay the rest of my premium? Also does my excess effect the write off payout I will get?

Cheers

I'm assuming you pay monthly? I'm not sure how it works, I'm assuming you will be able to cancel the policy but there may be a penalty for doing so.

Your excess will be deducted from your payout.

It may well be that you used an external finance company to pay for your insurance, if this is the case you've effectively taken a loan so you'll still need to pay the annual premium + interest back.

My insurance is now saying to me that I cannot cancel my insurance policy because I have had a claim, can this be right?
