Home Insurance Price Drop.

Hi guys,

Our Direct Line Policy is due for renewal. We got the confirmation through of next years cost.

£287.00 :eek:

No, let's get this checked out.

Straight onto moneysupermarket, got it down to just over £200.00.

So, I thought, just for the craic, let's see what happens if I log on as a new customer to Direct Line.

£187.00 :beer:

So I called them up to find out what was going on. The staff had just been told of the 900 job losses as a result of the demerger from RBS.

I had a very good conversation with their call centre guy, who immediately dropped the original £287 quote, straight down to £203.00.

Sorted :D

The moral of the story?

It pays to talk :D
Life is now good :)
