I took out a new policy this month and paid up front £314
I declared the one non fault accident I’ve ever had in the last 5 years that was admitted by the other driver. It was about £300 to repair my car and didn’t affect my no claims bonus
I got a letter from them shortly after saying I had not declared a second claim and they were going to take a further £85 from me for this.
I can’t speak to anyone on the phone usually (no answer), only a chat function online which is very frustrating.
I went to my previous company and asked them what this claim was. They said there was no claim for that date, but recalled that I had notified them that I clipped wingmirrors with another driver on a tight road. I stopped they didn’t and I thought to be safe I would call them up. The company said totally fine, they would log it as a notification which would stay on file for 6 months then drop off. No damage.
When company 2 did a check on me this showed up. So I got company 1 to send me a letter stating it wasn’t a claim it was a notification, no damage, no effect on my NCB. I uploaded the letter to their portal.
Company 2 still took £85 from me today and say that this letter is not good enough. They want ‘details of the claim’. I’ve been on the chat saying to them THIS WAS NOT A CLAIM for about an hour.
Then I tried to cancel and they will only refund me £213 out of the £400 I have paid. I will lose so much money on this - at Christmas. I could cry.
Can anyone help? Or just let me whinge
I’ve asked to speak to a manager and they are saying that isn’t possible either
