General Comments

I had an accident in February, a month before my renewal. I found it difficult to seek insurance from another provider as the claims department hadn't yet placed blame so I had to return to Hastings for a second year. It is now August and I have just changed my car to a VW golf, a variant which wasn't on Hastings database (but several other insurers) so they wouldn't insure me and I received a minuscule refund. Trying to get the NCB notice out of them for my next insurers has also been a trial.

It is now some six months since my accident I am still awaiting the blame decision from Hastings.
