How Does That Sound?

The latest television ad for Confused.com paints a rosy picture for those of us who are just too busy to go around getting different quotes from insurance companies.

So with my home contents insurance about to expire I thought I'd give it a go and out of all the quotes one stood out as fantastically cheap.....too good to be true cheap. If it looks too good to be true then it probably isn't true but I went for it anyway. One insurance company were offering me cover at £53.83 almost half the cost of everyone else lets give em a ring shall we?

'Good morning sir you're through to Dave how can I help you today?'

'I'd like to take out this insurance policy please'

'certainly sir would you like to add on personal legal cover at £15 for the year?'

no thanks

'I'll add it on just now and if you don't want it we can take it off at the end.......would you like key cover at £25 for two sets of keys?'

'errr not really'

'I'll add it on just now and if you don't like it we can take it off at the end.....would you like to add accidental damage?'

'errr go on then'

'right that's a grand total of £178.74 minus your £20 cashback offer today the £20 will appear in your bank account sometime in the next ninety days so now that's £158.74 how does that sound?'

'it doesn't sound anything like £53.83'

'well lets take off the key cover and the personal legal assistance and its £118.03 how does that sound?'

'It's still not £53.83 is it, I want that policy which you quoted'

'I'm sorry sir the best I can offer you today is £71.27 with Fortis'

'There's no point continuing this conversion'........sound of phone smashing into its cradle
