    I turned down the fixed offer, as i switch often for the best deal.

    But the woman was quite rude and arrogant - and now i am thinking of cancelling with them completely.

    Not sure i trust them.

    From my very recent experience I would suggest that you reconsider being covered by this CORGI homeplan and or READ the terms and conditions very very carefully.
    I have been paying them £16.99 - £19.99 a month for approx 2.5 years. In January my boilers pressure started go up and down like a fiddlers elbow.
    Called them out only to be told that my boiler was not installed correctly and that I am therefore not covered.

    Now my boiler was installed by a corgi registered plumber, I have the building regulation certificate stating that it complies. Yet apparently I am at fault for believing that this mean my boiler is correctly installed, EVEN when CORGI Homeplan, send an engineer out in June 2012 to service it and say that the boiler is fine and workinb very very well.

    I am very very upset and annoyed that they are quite happy to take your money over a period, but as per the terms "If the fault is deemed to have been in existance before the plan was taken out, then any repair is not covered".

    I believe that I did due diligence in getting the boiler installed by, at the time, a CORGI registered engineer. I have done due dligience in ensuring I have cover and regualr maintances to keep it running + have cover for those times faults occur.

    I believe that if they have this term, they must show a duty of care and or due diligence in inspecting the said boiler prior to accepting any money.

    So in a nutshell, it may sound a good deal, but in reality could end up costing you more in the long term. I am already taking this situation up with GAS Safe and will also be approaching the FSA (as this is effectively insurance), to try and re-coup some of my £400-£500 I have spnt out for nothing
