Advantages: Cheap Premiums

Disadvantages: Underhand, Devious, Unethical

On my third year renewal they doubled the excess for no reason... (other than maximising their profits...)

I only fould out when I had a claim!! Apparently my fault for not checking the small print, but who does - I just look at the premium and assume cover is the same.

Currently in dispute, but in my view this is a major scam (assuming this is happening to all policy holders...)

You have been warned so watch out!

I will be choosing a more ethical insurer at renewal

As Fishbulb says there is so much else that needs to be added.

What have you got insured? How much does it cost? Why exactly did you have a clause in your policy? A lot of vehicle insurers allow you to choose to have a higher excess to lower your premium. I'm not quite sure I understood why they did this to you and what you and they are doing about it.

Is there any possibility that your situation has changed or perhaps you omitted to inform them of something three years ago when you took out this insurance?

Anyho o...read and rate around the site, you'll soon pick up the hang of things. Let me know if you do update this so I can come back and re-read and re-rate and if you need a hand then please give me a shout.

Sorry for the low rating, it just needs some more info.
