Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience and that you feel this way. Our aim is always to provide the best service and support to our customers
I wanted to clarify that when applying for an insurance policy, it is standard practice for insurance companies to check the CUE database to access any claims history. CUE is a central database that holds information on all insurance claims and incident reports made by policyholders. If the information disclosed does not match what the database confirms, we ask for you to contact us to discuss this in more detail. When updating the information to match the CUE database, this can affect the premium you were originally quoted. We apologise if this was not made clear to you during the conversation you had with us. Should you dispute the information we ask you to send in proof from the insurer so we can reflect that on the policy with us.
If there is anything further we can assist with, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,

Thank you for getting in touch and bringing this to our attention.
I’m sorry you weren’t aware the administration fee would be retained if you cancelled within the cooling off period and understand how frustrating it must have been. The £40 administration fee is outlined in our terms of business, which is available to view prior to the policy being accepted, but I realise this doesn't make the situation any less frustrating for you.

false figures given
quote given on website, accepted, then email saying contact us, said there was information they hadn't seen before about a claim in 2022 (which was fully detailed in 2023,2024,2025) and added a hefty sum to premium. Won't go near them again.
