    Are you are proposing that an insurance company follows your plan and increases all premiums to cover this?

    If so isn't this unfair to those who don't cancel their policies as they are paying more to make up for refunds to those who cancel?

    I've given up posting on this thread as fundamentally posters just don't understand the point I'm making and keep turning it back to a disagreement between me and the insurance companies - which it's not.

    The perpetual insurance-company-love being shown by a lot of you though does make me wonder whether half of you work for them ;)

    "posters" understand your point full well. It's just that you're wrong.

    Really? Wrong about what? Come on. Don't be a troll. Explain. Show me you really understand my point.

    OK, so your made up scenario may not be 'fair', but life isn't fair.

    Many women are having to wait longer for their pensions, due to changes in retirement ages based on a defined birth date. Also probably not fair.

    My birthday is in December, so I can't have a BBQ in the sun. That's not fair.

    Life isn't fair. You can't always give everybody exactly the same.

    Wrong. Trade laws are designed to ensure 'fairness'. 'FAIRNESS' is a fundamental consumer right. And ironically Consumer rights is a cornerstone of MSE which is another reason it's so surprising so many are jumping to the defense of the insurance companies.

    I do wonder how many of you all have made PPI claims.. no wait.. of course none of you would because that would be "unfair" on the Banks :naughty:
