  • I'd much prefer getting advice from someone whose experienced similar situations than a CS reading a script.

    And of course, then equipped with knowledge from the forum, you can call up the call centre to demand your rights only to have the joy of a scripted answer telling you that you are imagining things.

    Why don't you phone them and ask? This isn't the Elephant.co.uk support forums, there really are some lazy folk on here.

    If you are old and responsible enough to insure and drive a car, you are old and responsible enough to make a phonecall to your insurance provider. Why expect others to do it on your behalf? It's even freefone ;)

    Wow someone is touchy. I find it better to ask people who may have been in a similar situation and are actually helpful than someone who is probably reading from a script.

    Thank you to all the helpful people. And actually thank you MattLFC because I do need to call Elephant about the policy I bought now anyway, so at least I don't need to google for the number.

    I got a loan off my bank to avoid the ridiculous insurance charges in the end. Thanks again everyone. :)

    Nancy, is this a stupid question but have you shopped around for cheaper insurance by phone. Insurance co.s can be flexible and if you were to phone them direct they may come up with a solution. Sorry if this is irrelevant or not helpful.
