Glad I found this thread.
I have a query that I can’t seem to get definitive answer on google.
I am up for car insurance renewal next month, the renewal paperwork has come through and i noticed that i haven’t updated the occupation for the past 3 years, I’ve just simply rolled over. The profession type is still the same. Basically what’s on the policy is (I’ll use example rather than my actual so I don’t triangulate myself): e.g. ‘Administrator’, and then my actual job now is like ‘Administrative Officer’ at a new place. It’s the same type of job just a different title. I am not claiming, I just need to renew. Will I likely get penalised for updating it 3 years late? I’ve never made a claim and don’t need to, currently.
I know I can ring them and ask but I get nervous ringing up these places and it feels like they always try to find a reason to increase the fee/punish you, so I want to know what I can expect, first.
Basically what I’m asking is, has anyone else accidentally forgotten to update a very slight change to occupation, and were you penalised?
Of course if I changed address, car, etc I would inform them but the occupation line is on about page 4 so easily missed as the title is so similar and they’ve always automatically rolled the policy over.
Some people get white lab coat syndrome with doctors, for me, it’s ringing up insurance companies
