Hasting Direct - Rejected Claim for Boundaries Overturned through FOS
Hi Everyone, hope this helps someone being scammed by Hastings.

My neighbor was sadly scammed by a…

Does anyone have any feedback on Hastings Direct?
I've just come to look at a car insurance quote from last week (previously £800), and now hastings has popped up with a quote of (£350). I've not changed any info and on all previous quotes I've not noticed hastings. It seems too good to be true really.

Annual travel insurance - do I need to declare an injury sustained mid year
Basically I have an annual travel insurance policy which I bought in April, but broke my ankle recently and have a trip coming up (which I am still able and planning to take despite the crutches - it's just going to be a lot slower paced). Am I still covered? Do I need to tell my insurance company about the ankle break?…

Travel insurance and medical conditions
I note an earlier thread about to lack of travel insurance options that exclude medical cover, and can see that it might be too small a market. What I would like is market in policies that exclude pre-existing conditions. This is common practice for health policies, yet doesn't seem to exist for travel. So you are covered…
