Confused's Insurance feedback

Raye0524

I tried Confused after the other comparison sites when Direct Line quoted me more than £100 more for my car insurance renewal than last year (no claims,all details the same etc).
Confused found me the best price (with a company I respect)-AND I get 2000 nectar points for buying through them!!-oh and £150 cheaper than DL-so cheaper even than last year

Wasted my time today trying to get home insurance quotes from confused.com.

I specified some personal possessions cover and bicycles on their forms, but the insurance quotes they offered excluded both.

What's the use in that?

I am within 400 metres of a canal and am surrounded on two sides of my property by tall firs. Have lived in this area for 50 years - no subsisdence nor flooding but Confused don't ask that question. I go through all the questions and at the end - NOTHING - no quotes whatsoever!

Try a local broker (not Swinton) who will know the problems associated with your neighbourhood.

Just had a renewal from existing insurers (Direct Line) and completed a quote with Confused.com. Have just renewed with Admiral Insurance Platinum Cover and saved over £250.00 for the forthcoming year. Thanks again and well worth the phone call.:T:T:T:j:j:j:T:T:T

Requested a quote this morning, made sure as always to tick the box to opt out of being contacted or marketed to and like so many others within 30 minutes I have a call from 0808 223 7401. The number looked dodgy so I didn't answer it and checked online to find others complaining about the same problem despite having opted out!

Without going through the process again I do seem to remember that one of the sites (I've done so many I can't recall which) stated that your opt out preference would be actioned within something like 21 days which I guess gives them the freedom to contact you immediately!?

If you don't want any calls don't give out your real number!

Took heed of your tip to shop around and not auto-renew our home insurance, saved over £200 or nearly 50%, with reputable provider and better cover!

Renewal time for me too, I got a price from my current provider that was £100 higher than last year for some reason(they wanted £610 this year) so I did all the comparison sites. Some gave me similar prices to my current provider, some gave me 1/3 of the price. On further inspection the cheeper quores had changed my requirements so I did not bother. Like others I received a call from confused dot com immediately after completing the quote and passed me on to the insurer who acted like he had none of my info, was rude and pushy. I hang up and called my current provider, told them I was not renewing as they were too expensive. It took them less than a minute to offer me a renewal £200 cheaper for the same cover. Go figure. Guys, ALWAYS call your current insurer and threaten to leave!!!

I answered every question and was told some 'Yes' entries were not answered correctly. I filled in my driving license number and was told it was an incorrect entry. The same entry the third time around was accepted. I tried to opt out of being contacted by 'tick here' but there was no tick box.
I am now awaiting hundreds of phone calls and e-mails wanting to compensate me for the accident I had (which I was compensated for already) and dreading it already. I view of the quotes I received I might even get phone calls offering me credit and dept relief! Although I am not taking up and of these quotes.

The result:
I wished I hadn't filled in the request for a quote in the first place.
