Direct Line payment help!

Hey all

Iv taken out a insurance policy with direct line, monthly installments.
Iv had to pay a deposit, followed by the 9 monthly installments.
What does the actual deposit cover, how many months?
If you are a direct line customer, when was the next payment after the deposit?

    Your next payment will be next month, deposit equals 1 month plus a percentage, surely you asked? Do you normally pay money to people who just ask for it?

    You have taken out a credit agreement (and agreed to pay) for a whole year policy. The deposit does not cover any particular amount of time. (If you purchased a 3 piece suite on credit the deposit would not pay for one sofa !!)

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    they told me the deposit covers the first 2 and a half months, and then i only have to pay the last 9 installments.

    so your both wrong =)

    thats correct, but the first of the 9 payments will be approx 1 month after the deposit is taken

    no its 2 and a half months from now (when the cover starts/when the deposit is paid), the deposit covers the first 2 and a half months then you pay normal installments
