problems with insurance companies

alicante56 · 2011-08-30 18:28:57

some weeks ago joe duffy show did an article on a number of people who were having trouble with their life assurance. Insurance companies were doubling premiums or halving the payout. I would like to set up a group of people affected by this issue.
