Title: Inflated insurance prices article
Post by: Bacon on January 22, 2012, 23:23:34 PM: I was reading a thread over on PH where a person has been involved in a possible insurance claim scam by a group of lads and this article was linked to:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2088370/Car-insurance-doubled-Want-know-money-goes-Heres-shocking-truth.html

Worth a read, although some of the details have been apparent for sometime it fills in all the finer details, thought i'd post it here as a heads up, to stop you getting potentially scammed!

The thread was more about the article and a scam that is being used by gangs atm, we should keep cheaper insurance discussion to another thread! :)

Having pointed that out though, cheapest is still cheapest. I will go with any old crap company if it gives me the lowest premium.

Never had anyone beat Sky/Adrian flux insurers.
Confuse the Meercats always want at least double what I get by ringing round.
