iansheff Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Apparently the email address you use can increase your motor insurance. Research conducted for Mirror Money can exclusively reveal that 7 car insurance brands charge people with hotmail.com email addresses more for insurance than people with gmail.com ones. The figures showed seven brands charge people more for hotmail.com email addresses than gmail.com ones. Bell and Admiral little box both increased by £3.36 Admiral increased by £2.24 Elephant increased by £4.48 Diamond increased by £6.72 Both M&S brands increased by £3.11 Why should an email address be used as a reason to increase your motor insurance? https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/car-insurance-companies-charging-more-11905460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafya Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If your names Mohammed your insurance also increases and in some cases by upto a £1000! = http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5296567/Making-prophet-Drivers-named-Mohammed-charged-MORE.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Strange isn't it as i associate gmail accounts with a younger more techno group of people. You would have thought they were most likely to be in a higher risk category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) If your names Mohammed your insurance also increases and in some cases by upto a £1000! Yet they still try to lie and claim thats untrue. Robbing gits caught in the act! A Mohammed Smith living in London was quoted more for a policy than a man with the name John Smith. And a John Smith living in Southampton was able to insure a 2009 Renault Clio for £992 with one company. However, a Raj Singh living at the same address would have to pay £1,023 - £31 more even though all of the details were the same. But one company today said: 'We do not and never have used a customer's name or any other piece of information to rate on race. The insurance quotes were not like for like.'

Stranza Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Would it be grounds to cancel insurance or refusal of pay out? Is it material information for insurers (I wondered this before about marital status) to know if my name is Susan or Shahida, provided I've given correct info relevant to driving?

Cyclone Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Fraudulently forming a contract by giving any false details would give grounds for the entire contract to be voided I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how insurance quotes work (along with plucking figures out of the air) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
