    Your post doesn't say why they held payment, no offence but for all we know it's your fault not theirs? And what's the rip off?

    as a result of this thread i have been fully reimbursed there are some questions that need answering though and until these are answered i wont make anymore comments but will keep this thread open and believe me the fault was not mine.

    in the meantime i had to pay the insurance again under threat of cancellation,was given the runaround from 3 stating they did not stop the payment,but the lady that reinstated the money had no problem saying the money was with them the whole time

    So, not really a rip off then?

    well considering they had no valid reason to stop the payment,and assuring me one hundred per cent which i have in writing that the payment was not stopped and then to be told they had the money the whole time,what would you call it?
