Q. I took out private car insurance with Sureterm Direct in April for a car that we had looked at on the internet, arranging insurance to drive it home. When we went to collect the vehicle it was not as described, so we declined to buy it. Sureterm had also arranged finance with Close Premium Finance. We cancelled the insurance and purchased another vehicle two weeks later. Sureterm again arranged the insurance and advised that a new direct debit would be arranged. Close Premium Finance attempted to apply the direct debit on 16 May, but the direct debit had been cancelled along with the insurance – we presume by the broker, as we had not done this. I received a letter from Close on 19 May, stating that no payment had been received. It said that unless a payment was made by 3 June it would take further action.

Close imposed a charge of £40 for administration. I made a payment of £70.88 within the specified time, but I received a letter dated 17 June claiming the payment had not been received and giving me notice of termination and threatening that my insurance may also be cancelled. I phoned Close, which said I must contact the broker to resolve the matter.

Close accepted that the payment they had requested for £70.88 had been received, but then said the administration fee was imposed because the initial agreement had been terminated. Sureterm were very helpful and said that Close had imposed the charge because the payment had not been made on time. Sureterm also said that a new direct debit mandate would have to be sent out for me to complete, but I have not received this. I have also been charged a cancellation fee by Sureterm of £50, even though I took another policy out with them. DE, Liverpool.

A. Sureterm Direct – a division of Capita – says that the initial insurance policy was never cancelled, but was actually kept in place and the vehicle details changed to those of the car you eventually purchased. The £50 charge was the fee for the change of vehicle details. This was cheaper than cancelling the policy and taking out a new one. Sureterm says that it did not cancel the direct debit and that Close told it that it also did not cancel the arrangement. Both had assumed that the direct debit was cancelled by the bank on your instruction. Your payment of £70.88 was received by Close on 4 June – the day after the deadline it had specified. Sureterm has now reinstated the direct debit, so that future payments can be collected. As a result, there is no need for you to complete another direct debit authorisation. As a gesture of goodwill, Close will refund you its £40 charge. Close declined to discuss your case directly with us, citing client confidentiality – even though we were explicitly acting on your behalf.

Q. My flight from Belfast to Birmingham in April was cancelled by Flybe because of volcanic ash. I chose to return home by other means and requested a refund for the return flight. I was told it could take 28 days to process the refund. But I have not had the refund. FM, Birmingham.

A. Soon after you contacted us Flybe repaid you £47.23. However, you had paid £146.96 for the return journey and wanted to know why you had not received much less than half the cost of the return flight. Flybe explains that the two legs of the journey had been priced differently and the £47.23 represents the amount you paid for the Belfast to Birmingham flight, including taxes.

Q. I booked a flight with Virgin Atlantic to fly on 26 March. Unfortunately, due to ill health I had to cancel it, and informed Virgin Atlantic immediately. It promptly refunded the tax, but I need to make a claim for the refund of the flight costs to my insurer, which requires cancellation invoices. I received the necessary cancellation invoice from my tour company in Jodphur by post in nine days, but I am still waiting on this from Virgin, despite many emails and two letters: phoning is pointless as no one can help. Eventually, three weeks ago, I received an email asking for proof of identity and flight details. I sent this immediately by post and a week or so later emailed a copy. But still I have not had a reply. I have received payment from my insurer for the tour, but it will not pay the £600 or so for the flights without the invoice. JW, Leicestershire.

A. Virgin Atlantic apologises, explaining that the volume of refund requests caused by the volcanic ash disruptions has created an administrative backlog. It has taken on more staff to handle these inquiries and has now sent you the invoice paperwork to enable you to submit the balance of your insurance claim.

Q. I read your recent warning (Questions of Cash, 12 June) about fraudulent payments that banks are rejecting responsibility for. My wife and I are concerned at two unexplained debits on my wife’s account with Barclaycard. The charges are quite trivial, but we worry that this may lead to future more significant unauthorised transactions. The first transaction was on 21 February, with Waitrose in Chichester for £8.63. My wife was not in Chichester on that date and has never been to that shop. The second was charged against my supplementary card on the same account on 14 April for £14.95, with a payment to Rewardsfirst. I have never had any dealings with Rewardsfirst. I have written five letters to Barclaycard at their head office. One letter of reply refers to an account with a completely different number that is nothing to do with us. CB, Hampshire.

A. Barclaycard has now made a full refund. It has also provided you and your wife with some personal fraud advice and provided a direct line number in case of further fraudulent activity on the account.

Since the 1990s, insurers have discovered a strong correlation between low credit scores and filing lots of claims. Today, more than 90 percent of insurers use credit?history in their underwriting, according to the Insurance Information Institute, a New York-based organization. Although consumer advocates argue that it unfairly penalizes the poor, it can also bite the middle class, says Birny Birnbaum, executive director at the Center for Economic Justice. After all, “87 percent of families in bankruptcy are there because of a job loss, medical catastrophe, or divorce,” he says.

Since many insurers do factor in credit history, it’s important to get your credit?report from each of the three bureaus—TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax—and check them for errors before you shop for insurance.

Choose the type of insurance is perhaps the biggest dilemma that is presented to the owner of a car. Although no one agrees to this effect, there are some common patterns. Insurers are advised that the criteria are set according to seniority of the car. In this way, a safe ‘all risks’ would be advisable to 5 or 6 years old the first vehicle. Since then, suggest a reduction in coverage with a safe third parties combined. ”

The insurance ‘to all franchise risk’ is recommended when the vehicle is parked in garage. The reason is that there is less risk that these cars are damaged plate with small strokes.
The truth is that if the driver uses his car constantly, the best thing is to secure ‘all risks’, as if working a necessary tool in question. If you want to keep the vehicle in perfect condition, this is the best way to achieve this. Any small problem, however insignificant, can lead to great expense to your pocket.

Prices.

The prices of any auto insurance depends on many factors. Each company has its own tables, but there are features that are common to almost all of them: driver’s sex (women tend to pay less money in the safe) vehicle color (red white and paid less than the gray or brown colors ) main circulation province (home of the insured), age and length of regular driver’s license, vehicle power, which is intended to use the car (private or public), standard and optional equipment included in the car, and profession the driver.
Lack of course the most important factor when assessing the price of the insurance policy: the selling price of the vehicle on the market that is shrinking every year as a proportion similar to the policy.
In the accompanying table identifying three-car models of three different ranges, and indicates the money to be paid in the first and third installments. Comparing the two can be seen that, as a rule, the price of insurance ‘third’ is almost three times lower than the amount to be paid annually by insurance ‘all risks’, as the latter claims covering is much greater.
Of the four companies surveyed, only Insurance Hotline includes ‘all risks’ with an excess of 30,000 pesetas in the model of the BMW brand. The table is only indicative, and the fact that insurance is cheaper than another does not mean it is better, because they may offer fewer services.

Claims.
The driver may be helped or hurt by this. Most insurers reward-in the form of bonuses-good customer records. For example, from first to second year, the price of a car insurance can be reduced by more than 50% if the driver does not give a single part of accident or if you have had, not guilty of the same.
Some insurers prefer to set a limit of parts per year, from which the driver will no longer be a customer. This applies Automobile Mutua Madrilena.

Other companies such as Phoenix Direct or Direct Line Insurance, have no fixed rule on this point. Choose to analyze each case individually, assessing the causes of the accident (bad luck, reckless driving, attempted fraud …). Thus there may be a client who has given five parts of an accident and nothing happens to him, and another with only one to be expelled from the company.
Not all insurance companies behave the same way. While some are accessed through the usual system of ‘red tape’ and information offices, others are much faster telephone services. In cases such as Phoenix Direct Line Insurance Direct or the possibility of contracting the insurance directly via phone, saving time and gaining comfort. With just one call, the company takes very little time in learning about the incident and implement mechanisms to resolve any problem.

Practical Advice
If possible, it is essential to know what or who supports the company with which your insurance contract in order to meet its solvency. Do not be misled by the succulent companies offer deals that nobody knows: as fast as they appear, also vanish.

It is convenient to analyze, as thoroughly as possible, the specific needs of insurance coverage. Take it as a reference for vehicle use, its characteristics and driving experience.

When prices look set not only on what you will pay the first year. Notice also be paid in subsequent years. There are companies that, although in the first year are cheaper, then prices drop very little. In other insurers opposite phenomenon occurs: the first year are much more expensive, but discounts on subsequent annuities are very interesting.

Read it all contract terms before signing with the insurer. There may be clauses that you do not know who then imparts some grief.

Although the rates are set with tables, if it takes more than a year on your insurance and your record is exemplary, do not forget to remind him. May receive a higher bonus.

Learn well the procedure followed by your company to fix the car wrecks. Most have arrived in some workshops that can make repairs. If you go to others, do not pay the invoice amount.

If you find a cheap car insurance is priority number one for you, you probably have to sacrifice the level of coverage of the policy, as well as certain facilities in the service. For example, some insurers “low cost” offer no call for the declaration of parts, such as Ineas, but require that all communications with the company are made via the web from their website.

If for you is important to get the best coverage or have a personal relationship with your insurance consultant, you should assume a higher cost and choose a company that offers you the level of service desired.
