Harry has sold his tractor.
In the last couple of years it has been neglected a bit. A chap he met when picking the morning paper has been keen to buy it so this last weekend it went to a new home.
Harry can visit it anytime he wishes.
A strange thing today. Every year we insured it for the usual, fire theft etc.
We have never claimed in all that time. The insurance ran out on Saturday & Harry did tell them he was thinking of selling.
They rang today mid afternoon to find out the decision.
We said we had sold so then they said well you owe us 37p for the two days since the insurance ran out. They asked me to pay on the card!
I was shocked….it would cost more in card fees than owed to them. I said I wasn’t doing it & just to add it onto our car insurance next February!
We have used this insurance company for years…..thoughts please?
Bonkers! If the insurance has run out and you are not renewing your policy, you don’t owe them anything surely? Up to the new owner to insure. Lovely tractor, by the way!
@casablanca They do say we will keep it ongoing until you renew but we always do it well before the insurance runs out anyway & they did know we were thinking if selling. I did say to them we didn’t ask them to keep it ongoing. I put the phone down in the end. It seemed so petty for 37p!
How ridiculous.
But we love that Harry can visit any time he wishes. And glad we have photos of Harry and Allan and the tractor taken the last time we visited. 🥰🥰🥰
What is the world coming to. 37p to pay on card for the 2 day lapse. Interesting point though, they want you to pay 37p but if something had happened to the tractor in the 2 days it wasn't insured would they have paid out? I doubt it.
Good to hear Harry has still got visiting rights with his old tractor.
It is a beautiful looking tractor & I hope Harry won't be too sad to see it go. That is crazy that they want you to pay 37p....I would have thought that the policy would just be cancelled.
I'm going to run this past Ray - insurance expert par excellence - and see what he says! Lovely tractor and I think they all should be red. How great for Harry to have an open invitation to visit!
@leggzy Yes you would think that wouldn’t you? To be fair to them we have been with them a long time but we e never left it to the last minute to pay them & they knew the situation but I suppose it was good they kept it going for us but it’s just the amount & to ask us to pay 37p on our card!
Even Shylock wasn't as miserly as this Insurance agency. I sold my woodworking machine around 2 years ago to make space in the garage and wish I hadn't now even though I have no time for carpentry.
But we love that Harry can visit any time he wishes. And glad we have photos of Harry and Allan and the tractor taken the last time we visited. 🥰🥰🥰
Crazy re insurance.. being a faithful clients mean nothing..
Good to hear Harry has still got visiting rights with his old tractor.
Going to ring up in the morning & check that it wasn’t a joke! Watch this space!
Lovely looking tractor & great that Harry can still visit it.
Ray says it's totally ridiculous on the part of the insurance company and good for you, Pat!!!
