As a Pensioner who’s not as IT savvy as my Grandchildren I would love a trustworthy online site where I can record all my Insurances, Utilities, Wi-Fi/mobile costs, etc ……and they would send me money saving options in plenty time for renewals. I’m sure that I’m not alone in finding this annual task a real chore both in time and effort.

Like a diary?As soon as I take out a policy, subscription or whatever I put the end date in my online calendar and have a reminder set up. Depending on the nature of the entry the reminder can be set up for days, weeks or months in advance.Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid0

For example some insurers will not feature in comparison sites, as they do not want to pay the comparison site a kickback for new business.2 -
Keep it simple, something like Google Calendar will let you set a reminder days in advance.
>a trustworthy online site < - no such thing, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure that once you've done a quote on a price comparison website, they will send you a reminder the next year near the renewal date to obtain another quote.0

if you are not very tech savvy - google what you want to do i.e. How do I set up a google calander reminder? You will get either a description or/and a youtube video for 'how to'
Good luck0
