There is never a bad day for doing nothing, so today was a good day. Had a renewal notice for my animals insurance of course like all insurance companies they put the fix in. They tried to increase the premium by 54%, I wasn't standing for that so I rang them up. First of all it was because the animals were older, then it was because I had made a claim this year. After arguing with them I told them to stick it, I could have accepted 10% without an argument, but 54% no way.
I've renewed the policies with another company even with our latest cat added making four animals it is still about 10% cheaper than the old company wanted for three.

Evening Phil, well done for standing your ground these insurance racketeers are having a laugh. Everyone should shop around.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. http://brummiestalking.org.uk/

My personal pet hates are Insurance companies closely followed by solicitors and estate agents. It seems I have done nothing but argue with them all my life.
