bit worried about my insurance renewal

have just had my insurance renewal quote through. it is easily £700 lower than anything else i have found from looking on the comparison sites. my concern - is that have found snippets of info on here about quinn direct having had problems, and that is who I am insured with!

would i be unwise to stay with them? i hadnt been aware that they had had any problems through the year so i am slightly concerned!

any response greatully received :)

    have u tried citizens advice
  • Not sure where citizens advice fits in :/

    Quinn have had there problems mostly centered around underwrting models which I wont bore you with but the long shot was they ceased trading in the UK and have only recently been allowed to continue after going into receivership. For me I wouldnt touch but the fact they have been allowed to trade again is obviously a posative and through all of there issues I heard nothing about claims being refused due to financial problems.

    Ultimately its your choice but maybe contact a local broker for some proffessional advice

    Usually the problem with Quinn is that their premiums the following year have doubled or tripled!

    Just ensure all your details with them are correct and they have you down at the right address, correct type and length of license etc.
