Let down in as much as my renewal came through yesterday with a favorable price. I rang to pay it and whilst going through the details the question of modifications was raised. I said that they were the same as previous years - which i declare every time and as per my profile on here and they stated that they did not have a record of any modifications. The ran this past the insurer who has declined to offer insurance based on the modifications and the next cheapest quote they could offer me is over £100 more expensive.
The worrying thing from my point of view is that i could have been driving around for the last year with a vehicle which in the event of an accident may not have been insured. Last year when i renewed there was no record of the modifications on the documents and i rang to query it and was told its ok they have a record of them.55 Plate Disco 3 HSE.

So why didn't you confirm it in writing or by email in your original quote? I never trust anything over the phone: You are then left in the hands of the individual who inputs the data.D4 HSE EU6 (Known as Jeeves)
