Auto Insurance Fraud Prevalent
Posted on June 11th, 2011
Bristol West Insurance has a link on their page to The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud website with some useful information for consumers discussing how prevalent auto insurance fraud really is. One particular article discusses how even minor “fudging of details” can be considered fraud and ends up costing insurers and ultimately consumers a lot of money.
Auto insurance fraud is not only committed by hardened criminals or fraud rings. Many normal and generally honest people commit fraud through leaving out or changing minor details.

Check Your Insurance Cover Before New Insurance Ruling
Posted on June 1st, 2011
The Motor Insurance Database has urged the car owners to check their registration with them and be insured through car insurance supermarket.

Do you have home insurance and separate home emergency cover? If you do then you may need to check your paperwork to see who covers you because, according to a Guardian newspaper report, Homecall+ went bust a week or so ago.

If you do feel that you need to take out emergency cover then you have several options.

Womens Car Insurance & The Citroen C3 Picasso
Posted on May 22nd, 2011
If you have read a few of my posts over the past few months then you will be aware of the fact that I watch Watchdog to see if there are any insurance related matters every week. This week was a huge one because the show revealed an incredible fault with the Citroen C3 Picasso. As the car is a French vehicle that has been adapted to suit the British market, it has a master brake cylinder on the passenger side.
