Has anyone had trouble buying an agreed value policy and then a month later getting the paperwork through with an agreed value 20% less?

I pointed out what I thought was an error and they replied saying that they might reconsider if I can supply an engineers report (not the owners club valuation they were happy with before) or seek an opinion from some outfit called www.classiccarvaluations.co.uk that I've never heard of but charge a minimum of 95 for a "desktop valuation" that might or might not be acceptable.

I've suggested that this is a fundamental change and I should be allowed to cancel with a full refund because I'm saying so within days of them communicating this change. Am I right or will I just have to grin and bear it this year?

I've always been a supporter of the broker but this feels like sharp practice and I am REALLY pissed off with them to the point that if it isn't sorted I will never deal with them again.

Any recommendations for another insurer for a very modified car on a classic agreed value policy?

Can't help with your current policy, but SMS have always been good to me.

Result. I now have my full agreed value insured again.

Who says the internet isn't useful?

How did you manage that? My insurance is due next month with Adrian Flux, should I expect 20% reduction in agreed value?

A post on a Ford website frequented by an employee of the broker prompted him to contact me, investigate the problem, and sort it.

I'm happy again.
