I have had my insurance for 6 months and pay monthly.

Seems a little steep any advice do i have to pay this?
I use direct choice who then get the insurance from fortis
thanks

just stop paying it , how you pay dd or some other way.
surely if you dont pay they will just cancel it any way, and if they cancel the insurance you probs wont have to pay the fee.
check the small print probs says somewere in there, that if you cancel you have to pay, might not be the case if they cancel it though.
but if they are saying that theres nout you can do if its in the small print.

yeah they probally will, lol but then again they mght not ad drather wait till they threaten to take it to a debt collection agency to get the money than just give them it all, seems like a big rip off to me. drther make it harder, if it does come to the point when they threaten to write the debt off to an agency just pay it then.

Check your small print, finance agreement and specific cancelation instructions. If its not mentioned in there, tell them to do one.

just cancel it and stop your direct debit. they cannot take money from your account without your authority and that includes extra's

im with them and i have cancelled a policy before, if its just a standard policy like mine then just cancel the DD with your bank, they cannot take any more money after that.
dont just cancel it with them as it still sometimes comes out of your account.
send them your insurance certificate and a letter saying you want to cancel and they should reimburse you for the rest of the month you havnt used.

it will be legal because all insurances are regulated by the financial services authority
it will be written in the agreement you made
i agree with rob though tell them you want a years no claims in that case
