country wide insurance

I've been with country wide for our buildings and contents for 5 years now and only ever renewed automatically but now we need to cancel they want to charge us £50! because they say we've got 2 months left on our contract! but i thought once you'd been with them one year that you were free to go whenever? Any advice appreciated. :-)

You are probably free to leave anytime but a cancellation charge would normally apply. Check your documents to see what it says about charges.

Some contracts are "monthly renewable" which means they can be cancelled at any time with just one month's notice. Others renew annually, so if you go past the renewal date, you have to pay a cancellation fee if you wish to cancel at any time before the next renewal.

See out the year and change at renewal time, then you avoid such fees.

How did you end up with Countrywide? Flogged it by their estate agent advisor, along with all their other quality products? :mad:

It scores just two stars out of five on the Defaqto quality rating. If they didn't have a captive audience, I doubt they would ever get business...
