Whilst I appreciate the SRA does not regulate insurers it ought to be aware that the IF Taskforce is made up of insurance and financial services bodies with the CAB thrown in as the necessary fig leaf to cover their partisan positions. It should also by now be aware that the promises from the insurance industry that government restrictions on PI claims would result in premiums being reduced. My recent motor insurance premium demand showed an increase of something over £100. I went online and the same insurer was offering the same cover for about £200 less than was demanded in the renewal letter. I called and they pretty much matched the online quote with no apology or explanation for their demand for so much more in the letter. I consider their letter was fraudulent and I told them so. I am waiting to see how they deal with my complaint. Most PI lawyers drive cars and have motor insurance. If your premium hasn’t come down write and complain. When they don’t answer properly escalate it to the Financial Ombudsman.
