My Invitation

This morning I got an invitation, no,  not to a party nor Buckingham Palace, but.....to renew my car insurance,  I love the way they write to you.   Dear Mrs Phillips Then they thank me for insuring with them for the past twelve months, I should think they should thank me, I'm paying for their holidays and  their over inflated salaries, aren't I? They then inform me that they are DELIGHTED to confirm my details for the next 12 months, why in heavens name should they be delighted, ? not unless they take for granted that I am going to renew it again so they can have more jollies and possibly a new kitchen .   I'm not DEEElighted, why should I be, when they want to charge me an extra five twenty pound notes, yes. ONE HUNDRED POUNDS for the same service, and , I have to pay the first £250 if I do want to claim.  I haven't asked them for one penny,  nor advice, help, or   for even so much as a Hello, how are you in the past year, so why I have to give them even more of my hard earned money is a downright liberty and daylight robbery. Methinks I'll be spending my  hard won leisure time trawling the 'net looking for a better 'party' to be invited to.

Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ruby

  1. Love it!! All companies are like that. Here though my car insurance is automatically renewed month by month when taken out of my checking account. I do get a notice when it has been raised. I also get a birthday card and a card for each holiday from the agent. We can't win for losing.

  2. Who's your insurer then Beth ?? but I don't go for money being taken every month, over here they charge more for that 'privilege' I can see I've got a busy frustrating couple of days ahead, looking for a reduction.

  3. Insurance, the big scam/ponzi scheme as far as I'm concerned. You can't live with and you don dare live without it. GRRRRRR!

  4. Our insurance company has a "vanishing deductible". For each year you don't file a claim your deductible is reduce by $100. We're now down to a $0 deductible but the rates keep increasing even though we've only filed one claim in 25 years!
