Avoid - a car rolled back into me and they’ve recorded it as an at fault incident without any investigation. Despite joining with 13 years NCB protected, they’ve given me proof for 8 years only (when companies cap the total NCB discount for X years, they can provide a letter to this effect).

Repeated failures to provide this information means I’ve have to raise a formal complaint and fully accept I will need to refer this to the FCA. I hate to think how hard they would make it for a customer if they needed to claim! Read more Read less
