The key arguement was would I see value for money from the £711 I would be paying? The poor guy chuckled when I asked this.

I then moved the arguement on to would my house be costing £711 to run, of course he talked about street lighting, water charges and bin collections - then I just presssed on the issue of were these services coming to £711 p/a and he advised "probably less" and then stated "as a good will gesture and to provide you with better value for money I'm in a position to be able to offer you an additional 5% off".

I don't get value for money from my income tax.

Great debate. I personally have never received any discount out of the normbut I have experienced some truly dreadful customer services when phoning topay my bill from being quoted incorrect premiums, told inaccurate statements (Iknew it was at the time and I forced the Agent to put what he said on myaccount notepad) to rude Agents and Agent whose native tongue is not English –this lead to a language breakdown.

well I have to say I have never spoken to anyone from LPS on the phone but I have spoken to then in person in Portadown and Belfast and I have to say I found then to be really helpful ,and they advised me that I didn't have to pay the rates on a probate property immediately that LPS would wait .
