Can anyone recommend a company that will allow me to pay direct debit each month? As anyone got approved for this as a new customer...just don't want to try tesco say for instance and get turned down.

Some of them do I believe. You can get it but they don't let you pay monthly.

I was advised that if you stay with the same broker/company they don't generally credit check every renewal if you have been paying monthly without any problems.

They do a credit type check but normally just to see that you live where you say you do. Remember that with car insurance you pay a month in advance at all times so they will always get their money.
I had no problems and you could do worse than go via the quidco website to see if you could get some cashback!!!

I have been with zurich for a for years now.....via a broker.....but...the broker has changed from equity to swinton...but the direct debit has always been in zurichs name. today i got home and have a pile of info from swinton with a zurich quote (expires 30th Nov) and an alternate quote with AXA....much cheaper but scared to change over incase i get refused monthly I don't know what to do now....it does say direct debit subject to status even on the zurich quote

I took out new cover last week with LVE and have set up direct debits. I've been in IVA since July.
