Sorry but you entered something wrong, and frankly it is wrong to accept it!
 
who was it with in the end? see if i can get a decent quote on a gt :devil:

Surely you could get a decent quote on a GT now your getting on a bit :nerner:. USe the compare search engines then give chris knott (Fiat forum insurance) a ring and they will knock at least another 10% off (y).

As for OP, good luck to you beau it must have been a genuine mistake on their system your not doing anything illegal its up to them really they would also have to honor any claim as you have bought paid up and have a valid certificate so they'd just have to put it down to experience. Which company is this? just so I know who to avoid.

don't forget beau, this is way of the curve for your insurance standing, if the company even think this is a deliberate attempt to pull a fast one:

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/Acts/acts2006/pdf/ukpga_20060035_en.pdf

salient passage:
Fraud by false representation

A person commits fraud by false representation if he or she dishonestly makes a false representation and intends to make a gain for themselves or another, or to cause loss to another by making that false representation. A representation is false if it is untrue or misleading, and the person making it knows that it is – or might be – untrue or misleading.

‘Representation’ is defined very widely, and can be either express or implied. In particular, representations can include those made by speech or in writing and, when made by electronic systems or devices, those “designed to receive, convey or respond to communications (with or without human intervention)”. Therefore, those involved in ‘phishing’ and ‘pharming’ scams online would be caught. These activities include sending spam e-mails, tricking consumers into providing confidential information, redirecting users to fake web sites when logging onto legitimate ones and the fixing of devices to ATMs to steal bank account details.

A person commits fraud if he or she dishonestly fails to disclose information which they are under a legal duty to disclose, and by failing to disclose the information they intend to make a gain for themselves, or intend to cause loss to another.

The prospective employee who – either in a written job application or at interview – fails to disclose when asked that he or she has a conviction would be guilty of the offence, as would the applicant for insurance who deliberately omits information such that a cheaper premium is payable.

there's plenty in there for them to get you with......i would call back and check each and every thing they have on this.....

agree, same thing happened to me at 18 on my first Marea 2.0 20v, all quotes were £1500+ and one came back as £800 odd.

its just sometimes you strick it lucky and get to take advantage of an insurance companies mistake.
