    Do they have an admin charge listed in the terms and conditions?
    "If you change your mind after switching, your insurer must provide a 14 day cooling-off period from the start of a non-life insurance contract, during which time you may cancel and get a full refund, less administration charges (where applicable). Administration charges should be set out in the insurance company's terms of business which should be given to you before any product or service is provided.

    Looks like they are covered...

    The following is the scale of fees that are applied to the various types of business we transact. Motor, both private and small commercial, up to €75 or 5% or the premium, whichever is the higher, midterm adjustments/cancellation up to €35 or 5% whichever is the higher. House up to €50 or 5% whichever is the higher, midterm adjustments/cancellation up to €25 or 5% whichever is the higher. Commercial, up to €150 or 7.5% of the premium whichever is higher, midterm adjustments/cancellation up to €150 or 7.5% of the premium whichever is higher.

    We reserve the right to amend these fees should the complexity of the product require a higher fee. We will confirm and agree this fee with you prior to any increased charge being applied.
    A fee of €25 will be charged for all duplicate documentation.
    A fee of €25 will be charged for driving experience letters.
    Policies paid by direct debit are subject to a minimum fee of €40.
    Our Brokerage Fee is payable within the Cooling Off Period.

    Why did you cancel? That might come back to haunt you OP.
