I agree with the insurer - you need to be more organised when calling for quotes, i.e. have all info with you when you call up. You will have been asked if there were any previous claims, you needed to be 100% sure.

no, let me guess, you want their autograph

why? are you going to try and get them to start some weird feminist anti car insurance company gang or something?! or are you still desperate for replies to forum posts?

Oh my god. All you wanted is ''a few hundred quid'' - LOL Do you not know how insurance works? It's a £400 car. They told you if you scrap the car they will give you the cost for it.
