HBOS Home Insurance

I've been insured with HBOS home insurance, both contents and buildings, for a couple of years now. When it came time for renewal, I rang them to increase the amount of cover for contents as we've bought a few 'toys' in the last 12 months - lcd tv, laptop etc. The chap on the other end of the phone asked me to wait a moment while he ran the figures through again - neither he nor I could believe the premium had come down by £60 !!!
They've been tested by me on a couple of occasions too with claims when I was insured with them about 6 years ago (I only changed cos The Pru gave me a cheaper quote) and they're not half bad at that either and both claims sounded dodgy even to me - one was when my brother-in-law borrowed a mountain bike and it was pinched and the other when I left a candle burning, forgot about it, went out and got back just in time to put my fireplace out !!! I put that claim in after I'd moved over to The Pru and HBOS never bat an eyelid !!!
Plus, I pay monthly and it costs not one penny more.
