Legal Expenses Insurance Unclear.
Consumer Focus has called for an overhaul of legal expenses insurance as many people are unaware of what it covers. Legal expenses insurance, is often sold as part of a bundle with car insurance, or with packaged bank accounts. It usually costs between £13 and £24 a year.
The watchdog has called for clearer information for customers, as well as an appeals system for those whose applications for policies have been rejected by insurance companies. They also want consumers to be given greater freedom to choose their own solicitor, rather than having one appointed by the insurer.
