Knights Insurance
 

has filed for bankruptcy

I know a huge number of expats use/ have used them for car insurance etc., so I thought it might be a good idea to post this info

Wow, that is a surprise

Re: Knights Insurance
 

Yes big surprise, there was a time when it seemed every expat on the Costa Blanca was with them. I suppose Linea Directa has had an impact.

Re: Knights Insurance
 

Well, thats interesting. About 2 years ago I had my villa insurance with them, and as renewal was coming up I learned that one of the big insurance companies refused to deal with them any more, as they had outstanding premiums that hadnt been paid to them.

I put that to Knights, and they of course denied it. I moved my insurance elsewhere however.

Re: Knights Insurance
 

even just a few weeks ago when people local to me were being contacted directly by insurers to tell them that they hadn't been paid by Knights, but if they could prove that they had paid Knights (iyswim), their policies would be honoured - Knights were saying that there weren't any problems :(

Maybe a bit of Gibbo revenge ?

Re: Knights Insurance
 

My local office (Nerja) has just changed identity, same staff everything, and now trades as "Liberty Securos".
Same totally satisfactory service.
Usual disclaimers.

Re: Knights Insurance
 

Used Knights for car insurance a few years ago but their service was so appalling that we changed to another company.
Knights would never send us any documents, even after repeated requests, not even emailed copies.
Required NCD proof for the new company and requested this from Knights but we just gave up in the end. Completely hopeless.

Re: Knights Insurance
 

For some reason Knights seemed to undergo a major change about 2 years ago.
Our local office (with the original staff) became Liberty Seguros instead,

A new 'Knights' office opened up in Torrevieja but it seemed like a completely different company - different staff etc.

I have to say that I found the original Knights very good - like the good old insurance brokers that used to be common in the UK.
