General Accident says I’m a and the higher being born to the 23rd instead of 22nd

I moved my motor insurance to General Accident (portion of Aviva) after with all the comparison website Confused.com brand new cars deal. Having paid online I noticed from your paperwork we had entered my birth date incorrectly C by someday: I did entered 22 February 1965 as opposed to the 23rd.

I sent my new insurers a reproduction of my driving licence as proof my date of birth and checked on the list of actioned it. During the conversation The trainer told us the alteration in date would increase my premium by 60 considering that the computer was saying that people born on 23 February were a higher risk compared to those born on the 22nd.

I cancelled the but GA still charged me 30 for leaving after a couple of days. Surely that is a scam?

We have heard a large amount of nonsense from car insurers, however, this might be the most ridiculous yet. Did General Accident really expect you to think that people born to the 23rd have a very higher claims rate as opposed to runners born every day earlier? The business says the individual service representative really should have referred current debts the pricing team to get this anomaly “corrected”.

“We have reminded our representatives that minor changes, for instance typing error corrections, must not get a new customer’s premium plus they should refer back to get a correction. We’ve telephoned CM to apologise and refunded the 30.05 for any 2 days of cover and also the cancellation fee.” So some good sense has prevailed eventually.
