The Bunch of cheaters!!!
They think they can do everything because they have all the money and power, just because they are big company does not allow them to do what ever they want to customers. They messed up and they investigated themself with outcome of no errors on their side, which doesn't surprise me at all.
Do not choose this thieves ever!!!

UPDATE - I have since been contacted and refunded. The customer service girl Linda was excellent. She said they are looking into this as a change for their systems.

Took out a policy, needed to cancel, apparently somewhere nicely hidden in small print among all the 14 day cool off promises; it says that I would get charged a £50 non-refundable fee if I cancel (despite me doing the policy myself online, and cancelling within 2 hours.) Nicole B delighted in telling me that it says that I'd be charged. If you are stupid enough to take out insurance with these people, good luck!

Beware! Just got stung for an extra amount that was due to me not giving EXACT date that I or my husband passed our tests. We both passed over 20 years ago and I had no idea of the exact dates. Innocent mistake that I am now paying for - be warned

If i could've put 0 star review score I would've definitely done it. NEVER EVER insure your car at this company that operate like a scam. They without hesitation will be charge you twice without even notifying you that there are 2 active policies on the same car. And after you sell your car do not expect a refund for unused period but expect another fee for cancellation (£50 in my case) and another monthly charge in advance on the top of it... small print, eh! SCAM insurance company! NEVER EVER!

The company is an absolute disgrace.
They cancelled my policy without notice or contacting me verbally. I have been driving without knowledge of this for almost two weeks!
Oddly they had emailed requesting at least 8 documents. I had provided them with the vast majority of the documents they requested except for proof of address. As I was in the process of moving home I had not yet received bills and proof of address. I had explained this to them via email. When I called to find out their reason, their representative said it’s because I didn’t call and that it is within their right to cancel my policy leaving me driving illegally without notice or calling me.

A totally hypocritical and disgraceful organisation. This is not the way to treat your customers.

Please avoid these bunch of fraudsters. They are happy to take your money for insurance, but when you do get into an accident and want to claim, they will definitely look for a way to make sure they don't pay you and will ensure your insurance gets voided and cancelled. I have put in a complaint against them and will be taking the complaint all the way to the financial ombudsman. I cannot believe that a car insurance taking out in good faith gets voided because the car had alloy wheels??? The end result is my car insurance costs has gone up from £650/year to over £3000/year due to my having to declare a policy voided by these fraudsters. Please avoid. If you choose to ignore this advice and you get into an accident or your car gets stolen and you want to claim, I can assure you you wouldn't get a penny because they will go through your policy and void it because you didn't declare you had a a sat nav!!

I have to pay over £21,000 for my car repair from my own pocket and also have to deal with the high car insurance costs due to a voided policy. Avoid these scam artists like a plague! I'm taking them to the financial ombudsman and will be posting this negative reviews everywhere so people can be forewarned.

Cheap and nasty for good reason. Firstly expect to be hounded by 'Policy Validation' threatening to cancel your policy. God help you if you need to make a claim! After a year renewing I was mis sold the policy and extorted for more money. After cancelling they will rip you off further with ficticious charges. Avoid at all costs- will be taking them to the FCA. All emails will be ignored incidentally if you have a grievance. Customer service is simply shocking.

Took out policy and weeks later was asked to call them. 30 mins in a queue and then had to confirm occupation details. Mine were correct but I hadn't changed my dads to retired and they gave me the option of changing his details and re-issuing the quote (£50 arrangement fee and £50 cancellation fee) or re-quoting without him included in the policy (would also be subject to the two fees above). I said I would cancel then and go with another provider so they deducted £50 arrangement fee and £50 cancellation fee plus days covered from my premium and left with me £128 refund from a £241 premium paid only 25 days previously! Absolutely scandalous and I suspect they call all policy holders just to see if they can trip them up about missed details that would end up being irrelevant to the cost of the original premium, just so they can enforce changing of document fees. Avoid at all costs!

My car was stolen in January and I reported it by phone. I ahve been waiting since then and I ce=aleed many times and I have been told that due to the virus and I havent got an answer.
I sent an email to stop them taking the money from my bank account but no action has been taken. On the 21st of September 2020 I called the customer service to clarify the situation however the asnswer was shocking as I reported that my car stolen 8 months ago but I dint ask to cancel he policy. Now I HAVE TO PAY £176 TO CANCEL THE POLICY EVEN IF MY CAR WAS STOLEN after keeping me on the phones for 55 mins.
Poor service
