Complete joke! Avoid

My car insurance was up for renewal, so I went onto compare the market. RAC wasn't the cheapest, but came in second. Hadn't heard of the 1st option so thought I would stick with some reputable (MISTAKE). Disclosed 2 claims on my policy 1 x storm damage & 1 x Non fault( this one went to court & took 18mths to resolve). Anyway set it up online, had a letter a couple of weeks in basically saying your Non fault accident doest appear on the insurance database in the correct format. Sent proof if not received your premium will increase ( appx 18.00 extra a month). So I contacted my old insurers who were great, they sent me an email confirmation Non fault etc. Forwarded it onto rac, which you have to wait 5 days for them to process. Had an email back after 5 days asking I make contact. Rang them, I was told the proof isn't good enough, I could of edited the letter and changed the wording. Plus the email didn't confirm who the underwriter was! So I rang my old insurers again, they sent it again ...also sent one direct to RAC to cut out the middle man (ie me). 5 days later email from RAC asking I call them. Email not good enough, needs to be on a PDF not zip file. I asked when they get the proof they are happy with, will the refund of recalculate my payments ( as whilst all this was going on they took a higher payment). I was told, no guarantee your payment will revert back to the original quote, insurance prices change all the time! How does that work out? Needless to say I was getting even more wound up. So I contacted my old insurers, they said they can't believe how ridiculous RAC are being. I said don't bother emailing me,please must send a hard copy letter, on headed paper - clearly showing you are the underwriters etc. I finally got the letter. Sent it to the RAC, Had to wait 5 days for a reply ,( I actually chased it up on the 5th day). Was told to leave it with them and they will email me, they did confirm they were satisfied with the letter. I had an email later that day , no apology- just confirming the payments. Needless to say I won't be using them again after my policy finishes. Reviewed on: 29th April 2021
