Aviva Escape of Water excess
Compare the Market threw up Aviva as a good choice for my Buildings and Contents renewal, and I was ready to sign up till I saw an excess clause which alarmed me. I know escape of water has gone up across the board; my LV renewal which I'd rejected included an increase to that excess from £350 to £500. As I checked through…

Car is being written off but we dont want that
Hi Everyone. I'm hoping someone can assist with this stressful dilemma (I did search and couldn't find the exact same thing on here). A few weeks ago we were hit from behind by a van. 100% their fault. Dash cam front and rear shows this so there is no issue here. Their vehicle was dented (ford transit) but ours came off…

Strange travel insurance pricing
Looking at prices for renewal of annual travel insurance. As going abroad less (fed up of airport faff), decided to look at single trip cover from a leading travel insurer for same areas. Was it cheaper, being for only a one-off trip? Not only was it more expensive, it was about four times the price for same cover, approx.…

Freeholder building insurance
My freeholder, this year, as added me, leaseholder as also a policy holder (without asking me first) instead of adding me as an "interested party" as previous year, on the policy. Should I ask him to change it to "interested party" on the policy or leave it as it is? where do I stand legally - not being the freeholder, I…

Surveillance by income protection insurer- I am being followed, I think
I've been receiving monthly payments under a group income protection policy for the last 10 years due to a long-term illness that means I cannot work. I'm pretty sure I've been followed when I leave my house over the last couple of weeks by the same guy. Talked it through with a couple of sensible people and they don't…

Insurance companies now want to go through EVERYTHING by AGAIN phone after purchasing to "Validate"?
This is just ridiculous. I went through Quidco Compare Van Insurance, which then went through VanInsurance.co.uk to be insured by Aviva. Upon entering all my details and making a one time annual payment I was then presented with an online promt that stated I had to phone 0330 041 9361 to confirm everything I had input over…

How is CompareTheMarket allowed to send me an email like this?
Yet when I click ANY of the links on the email (as to whether I'm signed in with my account or not) this price or any of my details are NOT on their website and it makes me enter ALL of my details again, then the price is actually closer to £600. It states "Review and buy" but this quote does not exist.

Separate flight and tour booking - are you covered if one is cancelled?
I have booked a group tour that does not include flights (they can book them for me but it's 3 times as much as booking myself). If I book the flights myself and the tour is cancelled (currently departure is not guaranteed), would my travel insurance refund me the cost of the flights? My policy is unclear on this and when…

Hi, about a year ago my car was parked in a car park when hit by another driver. We were not present but they came into the cafe and passed on their contact details for insurance claim.

Auto aid renew despite telling them not to
Just had a big surprise when Auto aid renewed this morning. Advised them last year by email. And again this year by email. In desperation cancelled today through the website but they are taking a £25 fee from cancellation. Customer service is awful. Bank said they will putthe payment into dispute. Anything else I can do ?

No response from other parties insurance company after six months.
Six months ago I was hit from behind while stationary at a roundabout by a young lad driving far too fast for the conditions. It was dark and raining heavily and he ended up locking up and skidding into the back to me. Luckily the damage was fairly minor, but still required a couple of weeks in the repair centre for a…
