Probably getting as much out of you before you go steaming along wondering why there's a big 'POTS' sign on the corner.

This.

I had this problem as well, but I wasn't charged to change it. Some insurers have just a few more evil executives grabbing at £££s I suppose.

In fairness, you were pretty lucky they noticed before the police did as you would have been drving uninsured up until the point you changed it..

How do YOU know that YOU made the error?

I would imagine it was their fault and they need to correct it.

If the policy has the wrong number, so does the MID and so to the DVLA website the OP's car is not insured.

Thought about that lol.

Whats a POTS sign?

[BrabusMog]

You agreed to their terms and conditions which would have clearly highlighted this. Take it as a lesson learnt and move on.

You made a mistake so you're paying the admin fee to fix it. Why should they do it for free? If you didn't want to pay then you should have got it right in the first place.

Tough break.

Here's your sign....

What a bunch of cunst.

I believe you have a right to cancel a 'new' insurance policy? If so threaten that if they don't change it for free then you'll ask for a refund and go elsewhere! £35 is a piss take imo.

Mate had similar on his breakdown cover and they refused to come out when he broke down.

Checked the reg they had on file it was for a Ford Focus rather than the Mitsubishi Colt he owned.

Have you checked the reg on the insurance to find out what bike/car it is?
