Car insurance accidentally cancelled

Nan0r69

Hi this is my first post and I’m confused on what action to take, my current insurance general accident sent an email saying my insurance was being cancelled at midnight on the 28/01/20 I obviously panic and email them asking why, can only email as there is no telephone support, then by midnight find a new insurance company same price which isn’t a problem then get an email back of general accident saying it was and accident and my insurance is live again this was at 13:00 on the 29/01/20, would it be worth asking them to compensate me to cover cancelling the other insurance

GS..

Just tell them you're sorted because of their email and I don't think you'll have any problems getting a refund

I can be a bit of a grammar police person myself, but even I think that is a bit much.
We should be nice to new posters and not scare them away.

You are still within your 14 day cooling off period so cancelling the second insurance shouldn't cost you anything. There is no loss to compensate you for.

It's not even been done well.

Really terrible when in correcting the supposed mistakes of others that what you propose in its place is actually very poor grammar. If you are going to be grammar police, actually do it correctly. You do not finish a paragraph with a comma, for a start.

Even if cancelling within the 14 day period, the insurers are legally entitled to charge you for the time that cover was being provided as well as a reasonable admin fee to cover their costs incurred in setting up the policy.

Even more unhelpful and unnecessary when you look at the extremely poor grammar used by lindens in some of their posts.

Wow you are all so rude it is unbelievable.

I found the Op hard to read so i added some spacing.

I did not insult anyone, i did not use the word grammar.

Just wow
