Home insurance direct debit

Hi there,

I was just wondering if you could all help me.

I just noticed that Nationwide have continued to take my home insurance direct debit for the past 2 years even though I had canceled it.

Can I ask for an indemnity for this do you know? Or what would be my next step?

    It'll presumably be the insurance company taking it, rather than Nationwide - you did cancel the policy with the insurance company rather than just cancelling a direct debit instruction at the Nationwide end? Assuming this is the case then complain to the insurance company and they should reimburse you....
  • Sorry I should have been more specific, Nationwide is the home insurance provider.

    why not ask for a refund?
  • Yes I will. I just didn't know if the process was different because it's with my own bank. That's all.
  • Either approach should be fine for recovering funds.

    But you need to advise the insurance arm to stop charging in future.
