6th February 2015 Do you Really Need Extra Insurance Cover for your Satellite TV Systems?The OFT has had several contacts asking for advice from people who have received letters and leaflets offering insurance cover for satellite TV systems. Letters can often be from agents or satellite providers themselves, suggesting that customers need to take out further insurance cover, as the cover they previously had has run out. The letters ask customers to contact the company to renew. The OFT is advising people to:
Andrea Tabb of the Office of Fair Trading advises: "If you feel you need this type of insurance, shop around and ask for quotations from local service providers.” “If you are unsure and would like to speak to someone about correspondence or calls you have received, you can speak to one of our Consumer Advisers on 686500. “ “Remember, you can reduce the amount of unsolicited ‘junk’ mail you receive by registering with the Mail Preference Service at http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/. You can also reduce the number of telesales phone calls you receive by registering with the Telephone Preference Service at http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html or by calling 0845 0700707. ”
