A Privilege To Be A Customer

I suffer from a memory problem and often forget whether I have done something or not. I recently panicked because I found an old renewal notice for my home insurance and was convinced I hadn't renewed it and it was out of date. I immediately renewed with privilege as they were the cheapest on a comparison site. When the renewal confirmation arrived in my email inbox I filed it and then realised that I actually had renewed at the proper date. So now I had paid twice for the same thing. I immediately phoned the customer helpline who immediately checked and confirmed that they had two policies for me. They immediately cancelled the new policy and refunded the whole amount I had paid. I felt very embarrassed to have made such a silly mistake but the advisor was lovely and reassured me throughout my call.
Pleased to hear that their helpful customer services team were able to resolve this for you, Susan. Thank you for leaving a review.
