It is the first time that I have come across auto renewal. It is a CON. On another page it was stated by an insurance company employee that they are required to ask if we require auto renewal. I definateley wasn't asked this by The Green Insurance Company. When the quote arrived 14 days ago @ 100% increase it was consigned to the recycle bin. Had to be recovered to send it to the new insurance company. Then the panic ensued to try and stop £601.90 being removed from my bank. Bank can't help, have to speak to Green Insurance Company who are closed today, (day the insurance commences). THIS PRACTICE SHOULD BE ILLEAGAL!

Green Insurance company didn't ask me if they could automatically renew my policy @ 100% inflated price and posted a ridiculous quote 14 days prior to renewal. I have never come across automatic renewal before and the quote was consigned to the recycle bin. Had to dig it out to send it to the new insurer then I noticed the Automatic renewal notice. Can't stop the bank taking the payment, have to speak to to insurance company and they will charge for their corrupt annoyance.

Green Insurance company sent me a ridiculous car insurance quote less than 14 days prior to renewal of £601.90. I didn't bother to read further and consigned it for recycle. Only whilst looking over the new insurance company required documents when asked for previous insurance quote for proof of 'no claims protection', it had to be recovered. Then I read the announcement that they have automatically renewed the insurance. Panic to stop a payment from bank. can't stop payment from bank, have to speak to insurance company. Blast! Insurance company is closed on Sunday=the day the insurance is to commence! This is the first time I have ever come across this 'auto renewal'. It MUST be made illeagal.
