You didn't provide "proof" when you said you could save me 15% off my best quote.

Hmm judging me now, I suppose I'm the only one here who has done foolish things at a young age.

Anyway I have had my say, one word comes to mind Tim, something JAMES MAY likes to say.

Mods are more than welcome to delete my enjoyable but childish remarks in previous posts.

Judging you yes, but not in a condescending way as you may think. If anyone posts a negative comment, i'm keen to look into it because the scheme runs very well & smoothly and we want to keep it like that.

Usually, I would say in 90% of cases, people don't tell the full stories on forums, only what they want to say & people to hear, and it is only when you explore and find the full facts and put it to the person, they go all quiet.

My point with you is that your 'childish' (as you put it) nature shows we have nothing to worry about on our side when it comes to comments made by yourself.

Anyway, that's my day done. Speak soon!

Ok, i think this has been done to death now, bornagain, you didnt use CK, for whatever reason, end of.

Your comments are unwelcome here in respect of the implied name calling and general childish remarks, please dont bother with any more.

No one can please all the people all the time, i for one know that in business let alone personal circumstances. Insurance ia a ball ache at the best of times, if you find cheaper else where, great news, let us know, but not on this thread

[cornclose]

Just for clarity, if agreed value policies are no longer available, the following page should be updated as it still states this option is available :-

Ah fair point then.

Just out of interest, what do you consider is a 'classic' ?

Something like a Volvo 122!

There is no doubting the success of our insurance scheme and we do thank all of you for ringing us.
However, we are often asked about online quoting.

The scheme is such that it is impossible to quote online but we have an idea!

We prefer people to ring us for a quote but if you're car insurance renewal is due within the next 21 days, please feel free to complete the questions below, then copy & paste, then email to peter.haywood@chrisknott.co.uk, who will contact you with the quote.

The scheme starts for ages 22 and over for Comprehensive cover (though 25 for some cars), & 19 and over for TPF&T cover, and you must have at least 1 year's NCB (unless you have NCB on a second car or a company car letter to state at least 1 year's claim free driving).

All drivers must have held a full UK licence for at least 1 year, and to insure a 'performance' car, there must be at least 1 years experience of driving that, or similar performance cars. Unfortunately, the scheme is not competitive on all M - Manchester, L - Liverpool, OL - Oldham & SK1-12 - Stockport postcodes and excludes Northern Ireland.

1.WE WILL ONLY QUOTE IF YOUR CAR INSURANCE RENEWAL DATE IS WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF YOUR EMAIL,
2.PLEASE ANSWER EVERY QUESTION BELOW,
3.COPY & PASTE ALL THE TEXT FROM 'NAME OF CLUB' DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
4.EMAIL THIS TO peter.haywood@chrisknott.co.uk
5.WE WILL RING YOU BACK WITH THE QUOTE. (IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING WITHIN 24 HOURS, PLEASE RING US AS WE INTEND TO LEAVE MESSAGES & SEND EMAILS SAYING WE HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT YOU).

Here you go - (if at all possible, can you reply in CAPITALS and different font/colour please?)

Please don't forget to ring us if your car insurance renewal is due in November. (You can also email us (see separate thread) if you can't ring Mon-Fri 9am-5pm or Sat morning 9am-noon).

From September onwards, we were given increased targets of attaining an extra 25% worth of business on already six figure sums (overall written premium) for new customers.

In both September & October, we have achieved this!
(The target set for renewal retention was also accomplished!).

This shows that, because of both our prices & customer service at new quoting stage & at renewal, surely it's worth a (free) call to get a quote?

0800 917 2274 or if phoning by mobile, 01580 752961, though not free. (Please make sure you fulfil the criteria so we can quote!).

Explanation of phone system changes
to improve call handling.

Just to let you know that we’ll shortly be improving our phone system so that you’ll find out sooner if all our operators are busy. This rarely happens now as we've added more staff but this is for the odd occasions when it may do.

At the moment, if the whole quoting team is engaged, customers get through to a receptionist who takes down a phone number and we call the customer back. The downside is that, when we ring back, it’s either not convenient for them to talk or we get voicemail.

So to improve things and increase your chances of getting through to us first time, we’ll no longer take down numbers for call-backs. Rather than keeping you holding, we’ll tell you earlier that we’re busy and ask you to call back when it’s most convenient to you.

That’ll save your time and your phone bill (unless you’re already saving by using our 0800 number) and we’ll be able to handle more calls first time round because we won’t have quote staff tied up ringing other customers back.

We’ll monitor how well it works over the coming weeks and make any changes as necessary.

[Tim@ChrisKnott]

Just as a matter of interest, when I look at the number of people who have called us from this forum and compare that to the number of forum users, it is quite a low percentage.

I realise that some people don't meet the criteria but we have broken records quite often this year in terms of income showing that this scheme is successful when people do ring us. In fact, we're on target for it being one of the best years we've ever had in 26 years of trading.

My question is why aren't more people calling us on here? Just curious!

[Tim@ChrisKnott]

Hi
Just to let you know I'm taking a (well-earned?!) rest over Christmas!

From today, I am only in on 23/12 but then off till 4/1/10 so won't be able to answer insurance-related questions on here till then.

Of course, the office will still be open each day except the 'Bank Holidays', Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, Saturday afternoons & Sundays – 0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 if ringing by mobile.

The claims department is manned 24 hours a day and the claims helpline number can be found on your Certificate of Insurance & policy booklet.

Have a good Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

[Tim@ChrisKnott]

Hi
As with most people, we have been affected by the snow but most of our staff are in now though it took some time. We are due more snow in our location in the next few days but as half our staff are fairly local anyway, this shouldn't be a problem.

I'll let you know however if there are any significant changes re staffing!

UPDATE - JUST BEEN TOLD WE ARE SHUTTING AT 3.30PM TODAY - WEDNESDAY 6TH JANUARY!

My colleague has been looking for insurance on his tweaked BMW 120d M-Sport. His renewal price was £590 [46 y/o [ish] 10y no claims no crashes/convictions] - a long search on the tinternet managed to get a respectable £440. Although he was happy with this I insisted he try Chris Knott out and sure enough they cam up trumps, less than £400 a 10% saving over the cheapest internet price and 35% saving over the renewal!!!

He is very pleased!!!

That's all.

[Tim@ChrisKnott]

Great stuff!

[Tim@ChrisKnott]

Thanks to all who have rung us for a quote.



We have just calculated the figures for 2009 and they show that the average recorded saving we made for our new customers last year was 12.5% off their BEST quote so it's certainly worth a call!



We consistently average over 80% renewal retention as well (December was 84%!) so people are happy at renewal as well!



0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 until 1/3/10 then 01424 200477.

Makes my Bluefin 50+ renewal for £345 look very good, then. Perhaps being aged has some advantages!
