I'm not Jason though ...although i will make him aware of that post.

In all fairness to him Monday was his first day back after a 2 week holiday, and being the sales manager i'm sure you can appreciate he had a lot of work to catch up on.

I know your not Jason i was just highlighting to you how poor KM's customer service is, as its your business is to sell insurance to customers, by Jason not bothering to call this customer back he lost that business, i wonder how many other "customers" he didn't call back on Monday ? losing you how much more business.

I have spoken to Jason, and it would certainly appear that there are two sides to the story.

Jason had to speak to your current insurers to see if they would cover the new car. After waiting for them to call us they advised they wouldn't, so he had to approach several other insurers to see if we could place the business elsewhere. Unfortunately this isn't a five minute job, and we had to wait for those companies to get back to us, which is what the hold up was.
Eventually we did find a company who would quote, and that is the best price they would offer.
We then offered to cancel your current policy, and didn't charge you the £25 admin fee we could have done as a gesture of good will.
After reading your thread Jason tried to ring you twice today, but he is still waiting for you to return his call.

If you require further information please feel free to contact Jason on 0208 6427868.

After reading your latest post on Midland Scoobies about trying to get in touch with Jason today i'll let him know and get him to call you first thing in the morning.

I'd also like to have a wee chat aswell, as i take being called a 'cheeky ******' very personally, especially when i was only explaining why the quote took so long.

I'm sure Jason can enlighten you tomorrow.

I personally try to get back to everyone as soon as possible, but as i'm sure you can appreciate we are very very busy at times (especially Mondays), and callbacks can sometimes get delayed.

Hence my original (now hijacked) post advising people when i won't be available. I ment it as a post to try and help people, but maybe i shouldn't bother next time if this is the responce i get.

Apoloigies Gary i didn't add on to your thread to have a go at you personally, i just wanted it brought to the atten of KM's to see if Jason could sort this out as i knew someone from KM's was a member on here, just wasn't sure who.
But its nice to see the power of SN working although in this case it didn't work out, but on reading the other thread seems you have many other satisifed customers

Well, no bloody point contacting me when I am on holiday I mean, you must know that I was going and sending out my renewal the same week I was away is just plain silly.

If you really insist on dropping my premium by 10% on renewal then at least tell me about it BEFORE I go on holiday so that I can drink the saving whilst I am away

Cheers m8

Renewed today....

I think they're just busy - I had to call a few times but eventually got through to Gary this morning. Seeing as how his quote came in £85 cheaper than my best quote from elsewhere, a bit of trouble getting through on the phone doesn't seem like too big a deal.

No complaints from me... Gary and KM came through trumps.......
Any company will upset some customers. Trouble being when people get pissed off they shout out loud. When people get great service (as I did from Gary and KM) they are not so well voiced....

I would think (well know from reading the forums) that KM are very good at what they do/offer. With many very satisfied clients.....


You can not please all the people all of the time....


Oh and if I was Jason I would not bother ringing you as it would be a lost cause.. and a waste of a phone call.... Damage done....
