Car Insurance with AA

Ray from Te Atatu South

We have been with AA for at least 30 years and have been happy overall. We have not had many claims at all and any claims for car insurance have not been mine or my wife's fault.
I accept that each year the premium increases but this year I was shocked when receiving the increase of 29.7%
I dont bear a grudge insurance companies having to increase their policies but for long time service people 29.7% is totally unacceptable and should be taken up with the Insurance Ombudsman. If anybody can point me to the Ombudsman I would be very much appreciated. Other insurance companies are the same - Wow what a surprise!
They keep blaming Gabrielle but fur us and especially on a pension, being long term members (my wife is 42 years) with 1 or 2 claims none of which were my fault is unaffordable and unless the Superannuation is increased accordingly there is no way that we will find it viable to hold on to a car and lose independence Again attack the old
Can somebody please help me in finding the right person to talk to (even though it will probably do no good but at least try) AND even organise a protest of some kind that would get national tv involved.

Any help and advice would be really appreciated and the old saying is "Put something good out and always some good will come back"
PLEASE HELP

Secure your homes over summer

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.

Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”

Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”

If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
