Preventing fraud
We work hard to control premium increases for our customers and pay claims quickly. While the majority of claims are genuine, a small number may not be. This is known as insurance fraud. Although it's uncommon, it can lead to higher prices if it's not controlled.
If you're concerned about suspicious activity or insurance fraud, you can email us in confidence at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
