Review of the Direct Line, Car Insurance:

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Thiefs of NCD. Don't use if you have more than 5 years of NCD.

I cannot stress how wary of them you should be. 10 years ago I would say they were the best, but now I find them to be at the bottom of the barrel with other cheap insurances. Quick story. I had +12 years of no claims. Direct Line only accepts up to 5. This means that if you have an accident they will deduct 2 years from...5! So after raising a claim this year I was immediatelly downgraded from +12 years of NCD to 3 years! Doesn't sound right, does it?!?!?! As the claim is still open I simply cannot go anywhere else because my +12 years is now 3... and from what I can see, after Direct Line wins the court case (I have dash cam to prove I was not at fault, and I already won related court case) I will be set back to 5 years of no claim only! If this is not a scam, then I don't know what is. I called them today and confirmed above. PS: I sold my car now and cannot get even reimbursment as it stands! THIEFS! Basically with no car, I have to probably pay £500-600 with no car to extend my insurance so I can continue arguing with them about recovering my 12+ years of no claims?!?! Does this sound like good weekend to you?! I have dash cam footage! I know I'm not at fault, they say they know I'm not at faut... and then they say process is process! !!! AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!
