Be Wise Rip off

I can't believe i've just been charged 35.00 to change a reg number to my private plate total rip off merchants. When it comes up for renewal they can do one

Had the same with a company a few years ago. Charged me £35 admin every time I changed my car. People who know me know I change my car as many times as Trikey changes his underpants so about 3 times a year!

I'm with direct line and they don't charge admin fees and I got a £5 refund when I swapped my car from a 2007 to a 2010 model with more power and worth double my old one lol!

Looks like i will give them a try when one of my policy comes up. I hate rip off insurance companies

The big, unanswered question is who is your insurance company so we can avoid them.

Oh, I thought that was a warning, not heard of them.

I think it's actually BeWiser. I've heard of them.

I had an insurance company charge me to change an address on a policy with 4 weeks left to run on it (after telling me the renewal would be lower at the new address compared to the old address).
Needless to say the renewal didn't go to them.

eSure do me proud.... £220 for the ZT and no charges for number plates etc, admin charge for change of vehicle but its £14 so not the end of the world.

Precisely the reason why I took out a traders policy 20 years ago, all the 'hidden' charges really annoy me.
