25% premium increase, and no one at Asda would talk to me about it

1
My Asda Pet insurance increased by more than 25% last year, Because of rising cost of living/ energy prices I had to review all my expenses. Last week I found that dozens of companies are cheaper than Asda. So I tried to phone them to discuss the policy asking why the increase last year was so high and possibly cancel the policy. Every time I phoned (despite selecting the option for Cancellations/amendments, and after waiting a long time to answer my calls I was told they could not deal with it as they were 'claims dept'. Each time I was promised that someone would call me back. No one called me and today I gave up after waiting all day for a call. So today I cancelled my direct debit and arranged a new policy giving me better cover for £18 a month which is £20,90 cheaper than I have been paying. I have had the policy with Asda for 7 years and only made one claim many years ago so maybe paying such a high premium is due to me being a long term loyal customer. I am actually vey angry the way I have been treated and will never use ASDA for anything in future including not shopping at ASDA supermarket any more Reviewed on: 25th April 2022
