well im one lucky person, admiral have been on apologising for their behaviour and the way they have treated me, the lady said they have no followed their own procedures and they should called me and also she admitted that they didnt send a text or as many emails as the man said so they will sit with him for futher training. She also mentioned that i did not in fact tick a box that said email correspondance only.
All seems very strange i've said i had to go elsewhere and she said she will resintate the policy and that she will pay the other companies cancellation fees and offer £50 for putting me in that situation and 25% discount on next years policy as a way of apology, she did say thats not the way we treat customers and when i mentioned that he wouldnt reinstate it withou waiting 48hours she replied that shes looked at the policy and would have reinstated it straight away without waiting as this happens quite frequently. At least i guess they admitted to making a mistake and making me think i had done something i hadnt. She also said despite what the guy told me in event of an accident i would have been covered but I dont think i would have liked to have found out.
