    I'm struggling to understand exactly what you're asking here.  Are you saying you've got a service plan and the renewal fee is £30 more than it was last year?  In which case, you're at liberty to simply not renew it, unless you've agreed to enter into a longer-term contract than 1 year.  If that's the case, then you need to read the small-print of the contract, especially in regards to any price rises that may be stipulated within it.  It's a bit like the mobile phone contracts which state up front that the price will increase by x amount each year, and you're tied into a 2-year contract - in that sort of situation then you'll have little comeback, as you signed up for the contract knowing that the price increase would happen.

    I think OP is upset that they have provided cover, but not serviced the Oil or LPG boiler?

    OP if unhappy go somewhere else or self fund?

    I suspect this post is in the wrong place and it's not oil or LPG anyway.
    But if you don't want to renew the policy, don't renew the policy.
