Hidden charges if you don't renew
When I called to stop an expensive renewal going through automatically, I was charged £25 by direct debit for the "administration" of not renewing with 1st Quote.
I had the direct debit reversed. Two weeks later, a letter from them threatened to put debt collectors on to me, with the consequent destruction to my credit status.
Just a word of warning really - if you see them top of the listings in price, add at least £25 to the cost of the policy, because that's the minimum it will cost to stop a renewal of the policy you're being presented with. And utterly brazen they are with it - pay up or we'll trash your credit rating!
