    Is there any way of typing the wrong figures in?

    I'm at the insuresupermarket.com site, and it looks like we're overpaying at least £100, and at the most £250 per year.

    Can that be right??

    Just switched to Halifax and saved £246 :j

    I only hope I've filled it in right.

    I hope you are all using the links in Martin's article so that MSE benefits enabling Martin to keep the site ad-free, run the forums and donate to charities.

    Not heard of them sarah, but if you can save on a like for like basis, I think you're as surprised as I am with Halifax vs Abbey.

    I still can't believe we've saved £200 per annum by leaving Abbey.
  • The Insure Supermarket link took me to elephant and a J R Clare policy, saving me nearly £60. It only took about an hour in total. So many, many thanks for that.

    Best wishes, Neil
