Bell put insurance up by 50%; clean license, no claims
Talk about a loyalty tax… I've been with Bell for many years. I have a clean license, drive a sensible car and have never claimed. Lived in the same house for nearly 20 years and it's fairly low crime. I passed my test in the late 90s and got insurance in my own name a few years after and have no claims since then — so I…

Input appreciated
I raised a claim with the insurance company that holds the warrantee for my house regarding potential water ingress at my patio doors.
