The power of the phone call
Got the insurance renewal for my son's house through the post this morning. Looked at the figure, went and checked what I'd paid last year, made a phone call.
"Hi, my insurance seems to have gone up by more than I'd have expected."
Five mins later, not only is it reduced, it's significantly less than we paid last year.
I'm a very happy bunny.
I've definitely gotten more ruthless as I've got older. There was a time when I just automatically renewed insurance policies without looking at the price at all. Now, even though I like the company I'm with, I won't accept a rise that's more than reasonable for inflation (expect for last year when there was a big jump in the premium after we made a claim for water damage - I felt that was reasonable.)
