Set up a new insurance policy and then changed my mind and cancelled it a few hours later as I decided to stay with my current provider.
I was told in the phone by Hastings Direct that they would refund my payment in 5 working days.
I've now received a letter saying that they are actually not going to do that and instead will hold the money for about 3 weeks till the policy was supposed to start and then send the money 5 days after that.
Totally unhelpful on the phone.
Avoid these bunch of crooks!
