’We’re refunding those who have been overcharged and also writing to them to apologise,’ says spokesperson
Several Admiral customers are being issued refunds after an error led to them being overcharged at renewal.
The insurer is currently in the process of writing to consumers about the incident, which Insurance Times has been told affected a “small percentage” of people.
The renewal error was highlighted by a customer of Bell, which is an Admiral brand, on LinkedIn.
They posted a letter sent to them by Bell, which read: “We have identified an error affecting the premium quoted for your car insurance policy at renewal, meaning we charged you a higher renewal price than we should have.
“We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, we are working hard to prevent this from happening again.”
