Bartered my home insurance down!!

Hello all! Am with lloyds for my contents and buildings insurance and got my renewal quote today. Was not happy with the new quote as it was £4 a month dearer than this years. Phoned them up and had a moan and they gave me a reduction of £98 over the year. so now my monthly payments have reduced by £4 instead of increased. SO HAPPY just wanted to tell someone!!:D Just goes to show it is worth haggling with the companies!!:T

    My parents are in the same boat - Lloyds TSB well expensive. I've advised them to do this - maybe others can do the same.

    Use Quidco and head to the Zurich link. They are offering £80 cashback for new policies in December. I've just taken out contents insurance and the original premium was comparible to others at £12 per month so I'm actually paying £64 over the year rather than £144.
