    But that is clearly unfair :mad:

    - it implies that being a BR or former BR is in someway dishonest :mad:

    - what company was it and I wonder what effect " yes" would of had:confused:

    What sort of insurance was it Max?

    I was half way through a quote and as asked this question. I answered yes and was then told that they ould not quote or provide me with insurance. Technically I have now been refused insurance.

    Guess what the next person who I rang asked......

    Have you evr had an insurance policy cancelled, been refused insurance, or had special conditions imposed. Technically I think I should have said yes...

    Seems unfair at times, like we are all going to be a worse risk, or less favourable clients.
