Unapologetic and no patience to actually talk through what has happened. Over messages but can tell the tone was didn’t care and couldn’t be bothered. Will avoid using motorcycle direct in future and will tell all my friends and family the same. On top of this, to renew I’m looking at doubling my premium this year!!! Wtf!!!
