A year ago this morning I paid for an insurance company to insure my car.

This morning they made me pay for it to be insured again.

This has happened on the morning of this day every year for the last 25 years!!

Clearly I am being ripped off. Is there any way I can get my money back?

    It seems completely normal round here to look at transactions from a quarter of a century ago, and decide that you were mis-sold.

    I think you have every right claim back these outrageous premiums - don't forget to mention in your claim that you were 'young and stupid' when you first took out the policy.

    My Complaint is even worse!

    I have contacted my insurer to complain as the policy was missold as i have never needed to claim on it.

    Essentially they are charging me for nothing! that's not right of fair.

    How can a company take my hard earned cash for nothing. I have decided that's fraud and sent them a letter to ask for the last 10 years back.

    :D

    My car insurance would never have paid out because of my pre-existing facial warts. Have I a claim?

    Yes, I did get that, hence the tone of my reply indicated by the smiley at the end. :beer:
