An investigation by Which?, the consumer group, has accused insurers of changing terms after the policies are sold, often leaving British travellers without any cover.
The report found cases of people who had their medical cover removed even though their doctor said they were fit to travel, and were left travelling with no insurance.
Some then lost all medical cover because of a new minor illness.
But the Which?

By 2004, more than 24,000 claimants had filed asbestos bodily injury suits against Kaiser Cement and Gypsum Corporation (“Kaiser”), as a result of their exposure to Kaiser’s asbestos products. Kaiser exercised its right to select a single primary insurer to respond to the entire loss –the Truck CGL policy issued in 1974 with limits of $500,000 per occurrence. The claim of each asbestos bodily injury claimant was deemed to have been caused by a separate and distinct “occurrence”within the meaning of the Truck policies. By October 20

CT of Bath nearly lost out having premiums for a missold PPI policy refunded until he invoked name. He had switched his mortgage away from Halifax six years ago and stopped the policy when he realised that, as a self-employed hairdresser, he would never be eligible to make a claim.
Earlier this year I urged him to reclaim his wasted money. When he phoned Halifax he was asked for his PPI policy number. He no longer had this, although he did know the old mortgage number. The clerk was adamant that, without the PPI number, there was nothing the bank could do. CT insisted that I had told him he could make a claim even though he had not paid premiums since 2005.

You will not be able to live forever because you buy life guarantee protection coverage. You will however be able to have the peace of mind that when you do leave this world you will not be leaving your family a pile of bills they cannot afford to pay. You will also not be leaving your spouse to financially provide for the children for the remainder of their days alone. You will have given your family the most thoughtful gift that a person can give. You will have given them the financial means to continue on after you are gone.
That does sound a tad morbid, but the truth is that death will one day claim each and every one of us. Read more…

One in three consumers is paying over the odds for car insurance, according to the RAC.
Nearly half of Brits do not bother to seek a number of quotes and one in four renew their car cover instantly, without using the opportunity to save hundreds of pounds.
So, given that premiums are rising steadily, it it is well worthwhile following our ten steps to lower premiums.
