Or alternatively try reading all the terms and conditions when they take the policy out.:)

Is this a case of what an OP claiming to be in the small print actually being in the comfortably readable print?

I really don't know, it always seems that when we get one of these threads warning about insurance companies or claiming to have been ripped off or scammed by auto renewal in the majority of cases they make excuses such as never received a renewal note or the other one is 'who reads the small print'.

It would appear that the people who are aware of these insurance clauses are the many who take a few minutes to check the T & C's when the policy is issued, and if people cannot be bothered to do this then in my opinion they only have themselves to blame.

Still that is just my opinion others may disagree but that is up to them.:)

When taking out motor insurance, always assume that it will automatically renew unless it says it doesn't, get a dairy/calender and write in the month of renewals so you don't get caught out.

(First Direct car insurance doesn't auto renew btw)

I would assume the op hasn't replied as he has an Internet contract that doesn't auto renew so he is unable to reply lol :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well if the original post is anything to go by God knows what the op thinks small print is!

I moved abroad just a few weeks before my Swiftcover insurance expired so just left it to 'die a natural death'. By the time I was home next, they had renewed, cancelled, billed me with cancellation fees, and were threatening to pass it to debt collectors in the next few days. But I was pleasantly surprised that one phone call cleared it all up, and my request for a certificate of no claims was no problem at all. So I would recommend them, dispite a 'hiccup'.
