Whats going on here then?

Evening all,

I was looking at insurance quote for the kit car today. I know its a little early but wanted to get some idea of the cost. So I got a few only quotes, all fine (better than I expected actually). But a little later I got this email. I've never heard of frank pickles insurance and it wasn't one I looked at earlier (maybe they are the broker?).

But the real problem is that is reads like I've bought insurance. Which I definitely haven't / didn't mean to.
Or is it a scam somehow?

What do you think?

Quite a few on here (self included) insure with FP and their service has seemed OK to me - haven't heard any bad reports.
Probably they've just sent out the wrong letter.
HTH. Cheers, Pewe

FP have been around for years, in fact about 20 years ago I used to mend there copier! Decent outfit would think its a simple mistake, wouldnt worry, just bell them in the morning.

Cheers

Rich

Another vote for fp.

im going to new my insurance with them this month because their renewal lerrer cut last years premium by 30%!!

Frank Pickles are brilliant. I insured the kit with them on a chassis number in November at a very reasonable premium. It passed IVA in May So no time limit on chassis number policy.

When I had registered the kit I just rang them up and asked them to alter schedule to the new registration. No problem, no charge, new covernote arrived next day.

Thank for all the replies. Sounds like a genuine mistake or I've got the wrong end of the stick. I'll just pop them a call later to make sure we're all singing of the same hymn sheet.

I'll also keep them in mind for when i actually need insurance



ps. I wasn't trying to see how many idioms i could use.
