The deals I was given are never the same exact as when you go through to the link, perhaps missing my new address, or with a uselessly low annual mileage or a really high excess or no no claims protection. In the end I went with my previous insurer after a wasted 2 hours of searching. That was annoying.

Companies that state "your call is important to us" but don't employ enough people to answer the calls. 3. The car park mobile phone app message "to change the registration of the car send a text message to [16digit number]" (...while standing in the middle of a car park with no mean of writing it down)

I'm not even a lapsed donor, I've been managing to organise my appointments for as long as having to make appointments has been a thing.

I'm not even a lapsed donor, I've been managing to organise my appointments for as long as having to make appointments has been a thing. I get frustrated at receiving a letter every month. I don’t give that regularly, but I do give, and it seems like such a waste of resource

Metro_Nome Sep 2023 2:20pm, 12 Sep 2023 7,189 posts	Quote Pin Metro_Nome I probably can mushroom. I looked once and couldn’t find an obvious way to do it, should try again. Even if opted in to mail I think once a month is excessive though!
