Massive Car insurance costs?

Changing my car on Saturday and had quite a shock when getting quotes, my previous car was quite cheap to insure, the new one is significantly more which is annoying given my driving history but it is what it is
 
Renewed the insurance last week on the SVR for £856. Last year it was £2K with Admiral and even their renewal quote had reduced to £1400 before I found a better quote elsewhere which Admiral couldn't match.
 
Contacted insurance yesterday to sort things out.

Seems like an old issue has cropped up again.

3 years ago Mrs had a bump and rather than allowing us to deal with it outside the insurance (£450 bill) the 3rd party insisted on insurance (which bit them in the bum afterwards)

Mrs's insurance incorrectly listed me as the driver at the time (named driver to pull her costs down).

I found out when it was renewal time. Mrs contacted them and they said that they'd correct it and provided a letter for my insurer.

A year later and come my renewal, still showing as me as the at fault driver. Ombudsman involved and the company was ordered to remove the filing.

It seems they haven't done this so I've contacted Ombudsman again, just awaiting their response. Hopefully it's going to be legal action because then it's a court filing and then the courts will make the change on the database
 
My Sterling cover ends on 22nd Jan, just did a quote comparison and First Alternative came cheapest at £382 which is £20 more expensive than last year. Inflation!!!!!!!

Anyway got £35 cashback by going via Top Cashback so reclaims the increase in a way :cool:

Another year we go.....
 
First time in my life, my renewal quote is the cheapest quote... Last year over £600, renewal came at £300. :D
