You seem to have forgotten the subtle detail that it's in a legal
contract which you agreed to.

No, you normally receive the Ts&Cs and policy docs BEFORE you pay - or,
rather, have the option to.

I took out a new policy on another car this year and wanted the cover to
start immediately. When I received the documents a day or so later and
checked them thoroughly, not everything was correct. However, when I
disputed the errors to have them corrected I was told that a further �50
would be charged. I was also told that if I did not pay this further amount,
the policy would be cancelled and I would be charged �25 plus the time on
cover.

However, I accept that all this was probably buried deeply in the T&C's. I
still felt rather cheated though.

We pay with Tesco deals vouchers. No such problem and it costs nothing
(cue pointless argument about the cost of shopping in Tesco...)
