ASDA home insurance

Cancelled my home insurance with Asda 2 weeks ago, for the year it cost me £81.85, and I took out in May, naively enough I was expecting some sort of refund but now just received an invoice from them for £15.34 :mad:

This is £47.09 of insurer charge and £50 to cancel:confused:
so in effect if I hadn't let them know it would have cost me zero but to be honest and cancel I'm charged - absolutely crazy.
Just phoned to complain, pointless I am still expected to pay and if I don't it will be passed to a debt agency to collect.
:mad:
Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I'd check the Terms & Conditions from Asda before i agreed to pay anything...
  • I'm in same boat - came to make a claim and was so long winded and badly handled I cancelled. Now I get a bill £25.23.

    However as previous poster says check T+Cs. This is where most ins cos slip up. I was sent 2 credit agreements - 1 to sign and return. I never signed it. They cant pass it onto to a debt collection agency w/o a signed signature. I am going to write and see.....
