This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Slight roast of a pea
I had a conversation with no less than 2 direct line phone monkeys (after insuring with them for 12 years) late last year. My insurance premiums for car and house had gone up by a ridiculous margin (car insurance on a 1.9 diesel Peugeot at 1200 quid for the year anyone).

I asked if my address had changed to downtown Basra or perhaps i had unknowingly taken up ram raiding my own house. Perhaps, i postulated they had mistaken me for a 19 year old ratboy with a penchant for driving my motor at 90 mph on winding dirt roads off my tits on disco biscuits?
I was assured that this wasn't the case and that although i hadn't made a claim my insurance had gone up due to a spate of fraudulent whiplash claims in the country and lets not forget because of inflation. My plee for a cheaper quote in the name of customer loyalty fell on deaf ears and i now pay around a half of what i was paying to a different company (and my daughter and son each have a shiny new meerkat toy to boot).
Fuck you direct line. I hope your head office burns down and your CEO gets syphilitic aids.
Slight edit to please Scarpe bless his little cotton socks

All you do is cancel your policy
and then get a new quote and take that out. Never ever take the renewal quote.

I do that every year. Customer loyalty is worth nothing these days. It's a fact we have to deal with.

How is it possible to not be able to spell the name of a car THAT YOU FUCKING OWN?

Now wonder your premiums have gone up, they have clearly decided to are to stupid to be trusted to drive without causing damage.

errmm
So sorry Scarpe.
I didn't realise that the spelling police were in residence today. I will edit it just this once for you so thats its all nice and correct and doesn't offend your precious sensibilities. However in future please if you see any spelling mistakes in my posts do feel free to fuck off and die rather than bother your arse to point them out to me with a witheringly unfunny message added as an afterthought.
Thanks
