It sounds quite irregular. And had your card declined the higher amount for any reason, then you could be left driving uninsured without realizing it, which could get you 6 points.

Insurance products have cooling off periods (14 days I think)
What they do is probably in ToS she agreed, but very bad practice for sure

it's a breach of the direct debit rules for a start.
They have to inform you of any changes to what they'll bill.

How is this legal
I get lumbered with organising car insurance for me and the wife. Her insurance was due to renew. RAC car insurance sent the renewal through and it was less than the previous year at about £430. I said she should call up and accept it as it was about the same as the other quotes I was getting. When she called she was told that they no longer use the underwriters who gave that quote and her renewal was now well over £730. The best part is, I'd paid in full the previous year and they would have debited my card for this much higher amount, had she not called. How is it legal to tell a customer how much the renewal is going to be and then almost double the bill without any warning or informing the customer?Tags: None
