Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    My son's insurance is due for renewal on the 21 apr. so far he has heard nothing from his broker.

    i thought insurance companies were legally obliged to issue renewal notice 30 days prior to policy expiry.

    Am I correct in this?

    Thanks in advance

    From the financial regulators website:
    You must renew your car insurance each year. Your
    insurance company must make sure you get a renewal
    notice at least 15 working days before your policy ends.
    The renewal notice must contain details of any no-claims
    discount you have, so that you have a chance to shop
    around before you renew.

    Should really have renewal notification and price by now.

    Delay is more likely with the broker than the insurer - call them.

    Get some alternate quotes anyhow, that way when you receive the renewal notice you can make a quick decision.

    They are but they are not responsible for delivering it. It may be lying in a sorting office or in the back of a post van etc.

    Could you son not simply pick up the 'phone and call them?

    he got a couple of on line quotes and he nearly freaked out, so hope fully the broker will be a little better,

    I always find on line quotes more for some reason as opposed to ringing or calling in to your local broker.
