What is it with the rip-off mentality of big corporations?
Our annual renewal notice arrived yesterday with a near-on £100 increase from last year.
So I phone - well known bank - and the conversation goes like this:
Me: I'm phoning about the huge increase in our HI tariff this year.
Bank employee: Blah blah blah ..."based on post code, risk" blah blah blah.
Me: Well I am not paying that amount for home insurance.
Bank employee: Have you shopped around for a better price?
Me: No, but of course that will be my next call.
Bank employee: Okay you can have it at the same rate as last year.
Moral of the story is, if you don't ask or check or complain, you will be ripped off.
What a bonkers system.
