In September, one of the UK's largest car insurers announced that they expect car insurance premiums to rise 10-20% in the next twelve months. There are many reasons for the rise - The Motley Fool blames the floods, for instance, while Admiral Insurance says that the rise is due to the fact that premiums have been kept artificially low for the past several years. The news has many UK drivers seeking cheaper car insurance premiums than they are currently paying. You'd think that finding the cheapest car insurance company would be a simple matter, but there's more to it than just checking the prices at all the companies and telling you "X Insurance Company will insure your car for less". The fact is that auto insurers include far too many variables when devising their quotes for any responsible advisor to tell you point blank that any one company is the "cheapest" insurance company in the UK. We can, however, tell you how to find the best car insurance option for your particular situa
I remember a case a year or so a go when a client had undergone some very minor outpatient procedure during the underwriting of a life insurance application. The reason for the operation was hardly a mortality issue and he was back to work within a few days.
I was a little surprised when the company postponed making a decision until the client had gone for follow up visits and was officially released from any additional follow up. At the time it seemed a rather severe action given the minor nature of the procedure. But, in thinking it through, I remembered that I was hit with a staph infection almost six months after a hospital stay to repair a broken leg. When it all played out, the broken leg was nothing compared with the battle with the infection.
With drug resistant strains of staph infection now becoming more common, life insurance companies are correct in their caution, since hospitals and medical facilities still remain the most common place to contract the disease.
In the case
As you may recall, GAN insurance announced that our car was considered a write-off at the end of May.
Just this morning we have received the bill plus reminder that we’ve not paid the insurance for this year yet.
No, we don’t have a car at the moment but in France that doesn’t mean that you can get out of paying the insurance unless you’ve notified the insurance two months prior to the renewal that you don’t want it anymore. Yes, that is two months before they’ve told you how much it’s going to cost so the net effect is that it’s impossible to shop around for insurance in France.
In fact, if we don’t tell them by recorded delivery letter, in about two or three weeks we will receive notice that they are taking us to court for not renewing the insurance. A few weeks after that the letter giving us the court date will arrive. You might think that “obviously” they can’t win in court but in fact they can under French la
Along with the changes of the last few years in life insurance underwriting has come some serious scenery changes in the companies. There has been a rash of large companies gobbling up smaller companies and in some cases large companies gobbling up large companies.
Growing up I used to think that the only insurance company in the world was Mutual of Omaha. Needless to say, Marlin Perkins and his wild kingdom show had an impact on my life. Well, Marlin is long gone, but Mutual of Omaha is still there, although not much of a player in the life insurance market.
But thinking back I do have a faint memory of the Kemper cavalry, the advertising thrust for Federal Kemper. About 10 years ago FK started slipping away. It was bought by Zurich Life and changed to Zurich Kemper (no more cavalry at that point). Then they did away with Kemper and it was just Zurich Life. That was then purchased by mega bank Chase and it became Chase Life and Chase Life was then bought by and is currently part of Pr

In the unfortunate event that your car gets stolen, there is sage insurance advice being offered by Carolyn Gorman, vice president of the Insurance Information Institute (III), a nonprofit insurance information organization in New York, and Sam Sorich, president of the Association of California Insurance Companies (ACIC).Gorman calls on drivers to be prepared in the event their car gets stolen. She suggests that "you'll have already taken proper steps to ensure you have suitable insurance as well as having obtained the information you'll need to contact the police department for filing reports and for notifying your insurance company to begin the claims process.""Many consumers who shop for the lowest auto insurance rates fail to consider some inexpensive options that can save them a lot of money down the road," reveals Gorman, citing replacement rental car coverage as an example, pointing out that it costs "only a couple dollars a month."
