Swiftcover do have an autorenewal clause and didnt autorenew my insurance, they just sent me a letter which was worded as if they were going to but had a small paragraph at the bottom saying I had to click on renew on their website. Because I didnt they didnt renew and I ended up left at the side of the road with 6 penalty points, a £200 fine and my car impounded 15 miles away with recovery fee of £105. Happy christmas swifcover.

They can only do this to people who will let them , your contract will say you can cancel in writing with one months notice. Do it . Stuff what you owe. Pay them a £1 a month or what you can afford, or let them take you to court. If they win (what court would give it them) and you have made a best attemt to sort the problem out (what court would give it them). Just cancel and offer a £1 a week. D.

Post it all over. The more know about quick scams the better.

Does any one have to hand a strongly worded letter or template to send to a credit card company to stop Continuous Authority Transactions. I have a problem with egg in so far as when I cancel a subscription using the above they still let the payments go. I have contacted the companies in question requesting accounts be closed But they just seem to ignore me and take the money anyway. I’m sure I’m not the only one who suffers with this and it may be worth a template letter in the Library . Rgs

Me if I get my hands on him....

Anyone out there able to dig out the chairman for EGG.

BF, Done all the above, Clysdale is yorkshire, They dont want to know , spoke to Christine at the Clysdale and evediently they dont provide this service, but I can have copy statements for a fiver each.

Dan, Went out today and spent a couple of quid in McDonald's (hated doing so as I dont like teaching the kids the habit of fast food), So what did I get for that couple of quid (£1.99) Well we got a cheesburger (Warm), Fries (Moderatly-warm), Coke , packet of sauce, straw, knapkins,One happy kid ! Crappy plastic toy (to me I know but it keeps kids quiet) and a box to put it all in when you see a rubish bin, now I know McDonalds isnt good and is considered a rip off but compare it with. 50p overdrawn, Well what do we get, One crappy letter, envelope, postage paid. £38 Gone...... One unhappy customer !!
