I have a very poor opinion of French insurance companies and AXA in particular. We left France at the end of February this year and I still haven't managed to cancel our health top-up insurance.
As an aside, it took me until May to cancel Jan's mobile phone contract despite the fact that they had cancelled mine and the letter cancelling Jan's phone was in the same envelope as mine. I pity people having to deal with these organisations. In my mind their behaviour borders on illegal. He's left the country so to hell with him.
Despite me writing to them in April, AXA have continued to take payments for the health insurance. I say all this as a warning to any folks who may have to deal with French corporate bodies.
And, as if that wasn't enough, I've had toothache for five days and had a tooth out this morning, so I'm not feeling myself, but that's another story.
Sorry to hear about the tooth Alex. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you've tried it but can you stop the payments at your French bank?
Hi Craig. I tried the stopping payments route through the bank on another matter some time ago and the word from the bank was, 'are you really sure you want to do this?' Seems like the law is not at all consumer friendly. Surprise, surprise.
ReplyDeleteWe waited 6 months until all the bills were out of the way and then we closed our French account. I suppose if you closed your account, that would be one way to nail the insurance payments!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one. Silly, but I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.
