However, within 2 weeks, my circumstances changed therefore I need his for reward so unfortunately I had to cancel policy with budget. They had already taken £48 from me, and upon cancellation, charged me another £147 for just 13 days of cover!! Ridiculous.

Held a car insurance policy for one year then using an online platform switched to another insurer. Subsequently I have been sent a demand for non payment of the renewal (which budget themselves had already cancelled). followed by debt collectors letters. I find this nothing less than harassment and bullying being used to extract a renewal payment for a policy wjhich was never requested or provided. Read more Read less

    Good car insurance

    The first time I have taken a policy with this company, was a reasonable price and the documents arrived quickly.

The company agreed the cancellation fee with me 31/01/26, as I was still on phone they took £50.00 extra from my bank account, I told the him to return it straight away that's not what I agreed to, after being on hold for long time he admitted he can't return it. Then I spoke to a manager called jody who apologised, but went on to say the agent who took money needs more training ect, but again have to wait til she called me Monday, she left message to call her for the refund of £50 also £50 compensation, she didn't answer, I rang the company they said jody will call tomorrow! All this stress they have caused still no positive outcome. My advice to other people is this company can not be trusted from agents, to customer complaints Read more Read less
