Hi all.
I have found recently that I have ended up with duplicated buildings and contents insurance due to the 'you don't have to do anything' renewal letter. I hadn't realised until now that my old insurance with Endsleigh had been renewed and continued to be collected from my bank account.
I shopped around and found a better deal back in July and set up insurance with Heath Lambert for my home. Hence, since July 07 I have been paying for 2 lots of buildings and contents insurance - oops!
Anyhow, I was wondering if I may have any recourse from the legal aspect of duplicate insurances - ie it is against the law to duplicate your home insurance; and may be able to request a full or partial refund of the premiums.
My previous insurance was changed because I discovered that the old buildings policy did not cover me due to evidence of subsidence to the property. So the old Endsleigh policy did not provide cover for the buildings anyhow.
Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Chris
