    Such a small difference is easily explainable as a typo, so you should call the Insurance company and get them to correct it. They should do this for free. Don't be tempted to not get it corrected. Don't pay them to correct it - I would assert you have a right to get errors corrected for free under data protection legislation, and complain if it alters the premium. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
