My 77 year old father's old Kia had to go into the garage for 2 months to have some major repairs. So due to the cost of living crisis he called Churchill to ask if he could suspend his insurance whilst the car was in the garage. The girl he spoke with informed him that normally you can but they were experiencing a technical issue so his best option was to cancel and reinstate. So he cancelled. In December he called back to reinstate his insurance. He had his renewal letter £272 but over the phone they said the renewal was £670!! He was very upset so I called back for him thinking there must have been some clerical error. Nope. I got a patronizing idiot on the phone who was telling me that I didn't understand underwriters. I told him that I did and that NOTHING in my Dad's circumstances had changed to warrant such a massive hike. I also pointed out that he had only cancelled his insurance because of their technical hitch which would not allow him to suspend. They did nothing.Disgusting behaviour and an outrageous way to treat an old man.
