we took out motor insurance with this company in October this year. 7 weeks later we received a letter from them which had taken 8 days to arrive saying 'they had cancelled the policy' this had been done 7 days earlier and we were driving around with out insurance during this, unaware that we were doing so. Their explanation was that the underwriters were not honerng the quoted prices and even though we had paid in full had many conversations n the phone with them, this was never mentioned. at the time of taking the initial insurance they were just £140 cheaper than the next quote.

Myself and my soon-to-be wife are 24 and 23,have one-years no claims, a P-reg escort, live in Perivale in London and have no off-street parking. To the motor insurance trade we may as well just be leaving the keys sellotaped to the bonnet, judging by the premiums we've been quoted. Has anyone ever found a good and cheap London Motor insurance company? Now sadly, to First Quote, the old addage applies: GOOD - CHEAP - FAST: PICK ANY TWO. Funnily enough, this seems to apply ...
