Good service, bad waiting times
No problem dealing with Aftab who, after waiting 40 minutes to speak to someone, got the simple job done. I have given only 3 stars because it is their waiting time that let's them down badly. Waited 45 minutes yesterday just to do my change of address as their system would not allow me to do this simple task on line. Such a shame.

Pressured me to leave a review whilst on the phone
Kiran from customers services left me annoyed - after I called to cancel my policy as sold vehicle I was told to go to google and bring up trustpilot to write a revew and expected to click green stars. I felt pressured to do this so, now I'm leaving 3 star review as I should not be foreced to stay on the line and told to write a review.
I was actually happy with their service up to this point 5 stars. Shame I was pressured too much.
