annoyed with insurance company

    I've no idea whether to post this in work & jobs or insurance ! Mods please move if its not appropriate here.

    Basically I work for a HSE funded organisation. My salary comes from the HSE to said organisation. We are known as allied to the public sector insofar as salary scales, holidays, union agreements, public ire :( etc

    Every month I pay into the HSE administered pension pot.
    Now just to be clear, I am NOT a member of any union, public sector or otherwise. My car insurance is due for renewal & I need a particular type of indemnity. I asked around in work & lots of my colleagues are with the same financial institution & get this indemnity.

    So I rang them. 'Can you give me insurance even though I am not in a union.' The answer was 'yes as long as you are in public sector'. Well I'm allied to the public sector and I pay into a public sector pension fund....'hmmmm nope sorry, can't cover you'....'Right, so if I said I was a member of 'insert union name here' would you cover me'...'Yes..... No Problem. '

    I spoke to my HR manager & she has told me that there should not be an issue at all.

    I'm sorry I'm not sure what advice I'm looking for really, it just really annoyed me !!!!:mad::confused:

    I'm assuming it's cornmarket your trying to get insurance with. They are the only company u know that has any stipulations in relation to public sector workers. Is it class 2 or 3 use your looking for indemnity for?

    Hey thanks for your replies folks, I actually got it sorted. In fairness they said they would look into it, and they did. I can be covered. :D
