    How much out were you from the figure originally given?

    No-one expects you to be spot on with a price but you have to be within ballpark. If it was recently purchased then you would be expected to use the purchase price.

    Administration tasks can incur costs. That is quite normal. Some will charge for things that others will not. Some will take a view depending on the error and may waive a charge.

    The £30 sounds like an administration charge for them having to make a mid term correction to the policy.

    Assuming the T's & Cs allow them to charge then it will be payable.

    What was different from when they quoted to the actual facts?

    Car worth more or less? Date you bought it? Other?
