Hi, as per the title 123.ie have been my broker for home insurance and my existing policy is with Zurich. It is now renewal time and 123 sent a letter informing me that their new tied underwriters (Travellers) will not cover me for home insurance because of a claim I made this year.
Fair enough, but I don't want a new policy with a new insurer, all I want is to renew with my existing insurer Zurich, but 123 tell me they cannot arrange this because of their tied agency. When I contacted Zurich for a renewal notice they told me to go through 123 - so I am back to square one.
It seems 123s policy of becoming a tied agent has now left me potentially unable to acquire home insurance, as because of this years' claim, I cannot be approved for a new policy, nor renew my existing one.
Would be grateful for any ideas as to how I might be able to sort this out as both Zurich and 123 are both washing their hands of it. Thanks
