That's still inertia selling.

So you think private companies should be free and unregulated to take advantage of vulnerable people without restraint? If you actually read posts instead of jumping to conclusions maybe you wouldn't appear so stupid. I realise you are so desperate to put one over on me but you should realise by now that you will always lose.

What? Auto renewing when you had not authorised it? The clue is in the name.

I suspect they will say that authority was given when you took out the policy. When did you last check *all* the terms and conditions of a new policy?

Whilst you might not like it it does prevent folk potentially driving whilst uninsured accidentally and I?m sure that you?ll still be entitled to a 14 days ?cooling off? period in which you can cancel under distance selling regulations.

They are sneaky. When I went to renew my LV policy online last month I found the auto-renew option was not only pre-ticked (despite the previous year having been set to No) but hidden, so it was necessary to click on the text to reveal the pre-checked box. One reason why I did not renew with LV this time even though it was the cheapest.

Ok. You'd be perfectly happy to be fined and get points on your licence for driving your car without insurance? And even perhaps losing everything if involved in an accident that was your fault?

I'd not be. I'd rather have auto renewal I can cancel before it is due.

Sorry to here you are so vulnerable, bert.

When the likes of you say you are doing something for others, I just have a good laugh.

bert- the champion of the underdog. All his posts support that.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Yup. We are a true classless society bert. On your planet. Wonder which one it is today?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

But bert is helping the vulnerable. Can't expect them to read anything.

Don't let practice get in the way of a good rant. ;-)

I'm quite capable of managing my insurance payments. Anyway, I would expect an insurance company to send out renewal reminders.

[charles]

They do - if you are referring to LV.

Every insurance company I've ever dealt with has done that. However this wasn't a question about the merits or otherwise of autorenewal. It was simply a survey as to whether insurance companies are in the habit of setting you to auto renewal without your authority and so potentially taking money off you without authority. From the lack of response to that specific question I assume not. Thank you all for your replies.

Perhaps you should read them more carefully.

[bert]

Every time and no it is not.

Just wanted to know if it was happening frequently.

And so you display your ignorance of what "vulnerable" people are like and how open to exploitation they are. Typical socialist.

So perhaps you would like to define the various classes for us. Then we can start to categorise people. Just to help, the richest man in the UK is the son of a joiner and grew up in a council house. Which class is he and why?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

In which case why is it a problem to cancel one policy when starting another?

Are you saying yours doesn't? If so please name it so we can all avoid it.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Like I said, many of the larger ones do.(Something like 10 or so I've used over the years) Those the credit card companies trust enough to allow it. For the reasons I've given.

You'd have a real reason to complain if it were something like a magazine subscription that you'd not opted in for auto renewal.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

bert. Who thinks class defined by money.
