davidelliott294 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Hi,Infuriated. I ****ing **** you not. I will record my screen putting in the details if anyone wants pics or it never happened.Just been helping my friend look for cheap insurance COMPLETELY LEGALLY. Went on to Aviva, put in all his details for a Polo 1.4 8v with modifications DECLARED.Comes back at £1800, £178/month.He hasn't even been driving a month.I put in my details for the same car. The only thing I changed was my name and my parents names instead of his and it comes back £3000 more expensive!!!!!!This came about because I was curious about how much they'd quote me on my GTI after seeing his quotation. WTF?! Edited October 8, 2012 by davidelliott294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvio Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) I work for an insurance software house and I can guarantee you that your name on its own is not the reason you insurance went up.Names are not a rating factor, address yes but not name.When you changed your parent names (additional drivers) did you update there date of births? I noticed that once you parents turn a (certain age) they become a liability rather than a easy discount.But each underwriter has its own cirtira and it changed every day, (thats why comparable web sites no longer guarantee you premium for more that a day)Hoo! also forgot, aviva when doing a motor quote, will do a credit check on you to see if they can offer you payments via instalments, if you say you do not want to agree to a credit check then the premiums go way up as its more risk. If you have said Yes to a credit check then the fact you name is not on the records at your friends address will also cause the price increase.hope this helps explain things a bit better.

The quotation was done with Aviva as stated in the post and the title and I guarantee you that I only changed the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
