Where does "late" come into it?

I thought the OP was complaining about the fact that the quote he got last week for £60 has now gone up to £140.

I thought quotes were valid for a month, if they aren't and can more than double in less than a week then it make the MSE due diligence of checking insurance before buying a car hard to do

It's an amendment quote - these will be valid at that moment in time and subject to change.

I'm struggling to see why the validity on an amendment quote would be any different to a full policy quote.

Given the whole point of getting the amendment quote is to help make an informed decision about which new car to buy if I was the OP it's certainly one I'd be running through the insurers complaints system and on to the FOS if necessary

Its tricky lining everything up and that's where deposits on cars can come in. So is mobile insurance quotes that can be done on the spot. Go with another insurer. I pay over £60 per month for my insurance so count yourself lucky.

£60!!!! I'd give up driving if I had to pay that! I pay £24 a month for a new Freelander 2.

Do not under any circumstance tell your insurer what your MSE username is.

Contact them through the phone, do not contact this poster directly.

This forum should be a safe place to talk frankly about your car woes. Do not give your insurance company ammunition to then go through your post history.

There is a man with something to hide.....

Indeed read some of their posts my favourite being would you avoid a yellow box junction ticket if you drive backwards and forwards if you're caught in the box

It seems fair. If he did, any claim he made would result in the insurance company looking at all of his posts here to see if they can invalidate the insurance somehow.

Aviva are not that sort of company, they have their problems due to over zealous redundancies but they still play fair.

The OP's problem could well be they requested a quote for the change of vehicle on vehicle model x registered in year x but when they processed the change with the registration number the vehicle came up as a slightly different model and or year of registration.

there are loads of reasons, confidentiality, legal threats for libel for badmouting them on forum, using any cruddy bit of information later on to refuse to pay out when you leave said insurer and go to a rival insurer and said insurer covers third party and this disclosure comes back to bite you, e.g. "oh look in October 2011 you admitted that you accidentally jumped a red light, but did not get a ticket, therefore you are a careless driver and probably at fault because although our client was at fault for pulling out, perhaps you had plenty of time to avoid colliding but lapsed in concentration and ran into him.

But no, you have to go the extra mile and assume I am doing something that voids my insurance policy, whatever happened to confidentiality just for the sake of confidentiality, nothing more?
