Burgesses.com win national award for Payment Protection Insurance

Car Insurance Blogger is pleased to announce that Payment Protection Insurance lobbyist Sara-Ann Burgess, Managing Director of specialist firm Burgesses, has won the Outstanding Personal Achievement accolade in this year's Best Business Awards. The effects of her lobbying for changes in the law for the misselling of PPI have been substantial and have led to a whole new industry of PPI claims lawyers.

Original article from Braintree, Essex (PRWEB) June 8, 2009 -- Payment Protection Insurance lobbyist Sara-Ann Burgess, Managing Director of specialist firm Burgesses, has won the Outstanding Personal Achievement accolade in this year's Best Business Awards.

Sara-Ann received the Award in recognition of her involvement with another independent PPI firm, British Insurance, where she is General Manager.

Despite credit providers accounting for 90% of all PPI sales, Burgesses.com is widely recognised as ahead of the pack when it comes to internet-sourced cover. It has received more awards for its market-leading portfolio and outstanding customer service than any other PPI provider in the UK and as a result, the firm was asked to join Europe's largest insurance intermediary - the Towergate Partnership - in 2008.

Sara-Ann is considered a leading authority on payment protection insurance and has for years fought to break the lenders' monopoly in this sector, abolish anti-competitive practices, secure a better deal for consumers and make insurance easily accessible to all. This award is testament to her efforts.

The Best Business Awards are run by Awards Intelligence, an independent firm that recognises and rewards best practice across the public and private sector. Organisations can enter around 20 categories and their submissions are scrutinised by a judging panel drawn from business leaders and past award winners specialising in differing disciplines.

Around 150 entries are judged on a quarterly basis and to win the Outstanding Personal Achievement award, Sara-Ann had to demonstrate how she launched and built her business or led it to greatness. She was scored against specific criteria where particular emphasis was placed on success and innovation.

Awards Intelligence's Mark Llewellyn-Slade gave feedback from the chairman of the judges. He said: "Sara-Ann played a key role in building British Insurance into a market leader in payment protection insurance. The judges were particularly impressed with the way the company has harnessed the power of online technology to deliver quality insurance at market leading prices. This, coupled with their no-nonsense approach to business and excellent customer service makes for a powerful proposition. Sara-Ann's focus, drive and determination have been instrumental in British Insurance achieving success."

Sara-Ann commented: "I'm delighted to have won this award - in a lender-dominated market, small players have a crucial role to play to ensure consumers have a choice of providers when it comes to PPI. Burgesses and British Insurance will continue to take on the larger players and endeavour to stop credit providers working to the detriment of consumers."

Refused Online Car Insurance? Computer says No!

Compare Car Insurance? Computer says No!

There's a strong possibility that when you go to an online car insurer to compare quotes they may at some point in the process of quoting, decline to cover you or refuse to offer you a car insurance quote.

DO NOT take this personaly as it merely reflects that the insurance cover wasn't right for your particular circumstances, which is the whole point of buying it in the first place - cover for You and Your car.

Being refused car insurance online could be for all sorts of reasons which we'll examine here, and is just as likely to happen on a large car insurance comparison site as on a smaller independent suppliers online quoting system.

The large comparison sites, are perhaps the largest offenders at not giving a quote , and quite often no ready explanation of why they can't!
Standard car insurance comparison websites are in the dilemma of trying to please all the people all the time and it is therefore difficult for them to ask the habitual preliminary screening questions that you would find at the beginning of the script of a smaller specialist online car insurance website.
That is the price of standardisation of what in the UK car insurance market is a set or collection of many different much smaller risk groups or pools, each with their own agenda.

Here is a list of a few of the reasons why you may be cut off in midpoint when trying to get a car insurance quote online:

1. Your Age - there are usually policy specific age cut off points at either end. Both young drivers and senior drivers may find themselves falling foul of this one!

2. Your Postcode: This is a big one that wipes out many a potential deal half way throygh the quote process. It's an unfortunate fact of life that the place where you live largely determines how much car insurance you will pay. Once some insurers systems know your postcode you may find cover refused.

3. Your Car: each Car Insurance Company has a particular set of people and types of car that they prefer to insure. If by answering the questions on the online quote form that don't match what the computer hs been programmed to accept - you will be declined.
