WARNING TO ALL MEV OWNERS AVOID THESE CROOKS
When I insured my tR1ke, a few weeks ago, Graham Sykes quoted me on the phone with a discount for being a member of a club. They then asked for proof of membership.I sent them the forum url and my username, apparently this was not good enough and I had to get Paul from RTR to email confirming my membership. Until yesterday I thought that was it sorted, but then I get an invoice for £40 as club membership discount has to be removed. I called them and asked them why, and was told that RTR would have to join their club scheme. I then called Paul back and told him and he read me the email from Graham Sykes which just acknowledged his email and said "get the club secretary to get in touch so discount can be offered to all members". It turns out that joining their club scheme really means displaying a Graham Sykes banner on the forum site. Obviously this can`t be done, so theyy have decided I cant have the discount and sent me a £40 bill. I have called them this morning and said I want to cancel the insurance, because without the discount they are not the cheapest, and I was never informed that the discount would only be applicable if a Graham Sykes banner is diplayed on the forum. Turns out I can cancel the policy in writing, but as its a flat rate policy I cant get any of my money back. Before I pay them the £40 I will be writing a letter of complaint to them and also to the FCA.
So all be warned Graham Sykes do not give discount to any MEV owners, but they lie and tell you they will !
