Quick fit car insurance scam??

[Grub Granny]

My son has his BMW unfortunately insured with Qwikfit He rang them yesterday to ask to change his car for a Golf he has recently purchased. He is keeping the BMW but it will be off the road for repairs hence the Golf to get him back and forward to work. He is a car mechanic so will be doing the work himself. He said casually to the guy he was speaking to that he didn't keep his cars long as he gets bored and changes them, the guy he was speaking to then said hold on a minute, spoke to someone else and came back and said they were cancelling his policy as he is a trader, oh also he hadn't told them his change of occupation from mechanic to trader!!!!! He is obviously not a trader and hasn't changed his occupation. They demanded £150 to cancel the policy or if he changes to Sabre Car Insurance, he said Sabre were nothing to do with Quikfit but on investigation they are in the same group, he wouldn't have to pay the £150 but his premiums would go up from £55 per month to £100 per month,!! How can this be allowed. My son has rung their complaints number and asked to speak to a manager and is still waiting for a call back. All he gets is sympathy but no one is prepared to believe him, they KNOW he is a trader and that's it.. My son said they could check with DVLA and the only car he owns is the BMW which he has had for a year and the new Golf. Help, we don't know where to go from here, his policy cancels 7 days after he receives a letter from them
