Car insurance
Hello guys Im devastated today as I was about to pay for my insurance and thats where it all began .
I was about to pay but got an error and was told to call, i called and the representative said some information must have been incorrect. After about 2minutes he says that i didn't state about my theft in march 2017.
I said i didn't claim or anything as the car was recovered in less than 24 hours and i payed for everything out of my own pocket. The representive said it still counts as a motor accident or claim and with this new information he quoted me £900 more which is crazy. Now on comparison websites , if i check that box and enter theft and 0 money was claimed i do get quoted minimum of £900 more than before. Is there anything i can do? Any help is appreciated.
The box im talking about:
Claims & Convictions (sorry not able to post image)

The wording is often Accident or Incidents even if no claim was made.
You had a theft, even though you did not claim you still had a loss/incident.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
