John Lewis Let down
Bought the premier Insurance package which includes Home Emergency cover. Water leak from bathroom into electrics = no lights/sockets/cooker. After 3 and a half hours and no promised response finally admitted unable to get any progress and likely to be unable to help that day. Not what I would describe as "emergency"…

I called existing provider to ask what my renewal quote was - advised £381 and asked if I wanted to renew now. I advised that I was in the process of using some…
Insurance co. want to charge NOT to renew
Hi, My OH has just phoned Privilege Insurance to stop the auto-renewal of our car insurance. But they have told her that they will charge us £52 to stop the auto-renewal!!! Is this right?
