A cautionary tale.
Had my car insurance renewal today from LV.
Went into compare the market.com and brought up the search I used last year to find insurance when I chose LV guess what still with LV it was £35 cheaper!
Checked detail to be sure as only change was to update NCB by 1 year, which they would have done in the renewal.
Phoned LV and asked why. They pulled up my renewal and my latest quote which was on their website and said yes they are identical. Asked for a moment. Phone went to music and then he came back with some bull about they were trying to fix that as they do not do the new quotes that come through the "Meerkat" but the new quote was on their website!
He then offered my renewal at the £35 less price. Had a discussion about sharp practices but as it was still the best price i renewed saving £35. (Paid for my new cables and brake shoes for my Moby) :-)
I just add it here as a cautionary tale.........

Its scandalous Mike, LV guy said we are trying to sort it. I said "so if I get a renewal next year it will be at same price as on the Meerkat site" he replied probably as it takes some time to fix. I replied a YEAR! Thats is definately Sharp Practice. You can report them here www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumer/complaints.htm
