Are motor insurance companies allowed to charge a contradiction allowance?

Answers: They can charge you any charge that your contract says they can. If you agreed to it by paying your premium, then you are at risk to be charged "second-hand goods fees".
If the original contract say that that they can.
It's on a state by state basis. They are ALL allowed to charge a "short rate cancellation penalty". Many states ALSO allow a contradiction fee, in ADDITION to the short rate see penalty.

That's because, it costs money to issue a policy. The cost of issuance is built into the policy premium for a full year. If you cancel the policy up to that time the year is up, the insurance company STILL needs to get compensated somehow, for the cost to write your policy. So, there's a short rate cost, and sometimes a cancellation fee.

Any contradiction fee should have be disclosed on the application you signed, but the short rate penalty is NOT. Source(s): agent, 21+ years
God yes as you would expect, why would you think they don't have? Sorry but I'm afraid those are the breaks. If you ruminate it's unfair then you could write to the company. But you'd enjoy to have a good idea for saying it shouldn't apply to you though.
Unfortunately I think they can. I am assuming that you are wanting to change insurance company beforehand the end of your contract with your current insurance company?

Read through the jargon and conditions provided when you first signed up and it should say in in attendance if cancellation fees are agreed. If it's not included then you enjoy a case to argue.

If it is, either bite the bullet and payment up or wait until this contract expires.

The insurance companies always seize their way unfortunately!!
They can if they have disclosed it to you.
Cancellation fees can differ depending upon the insurance company policy provisions and state laws. Some state law prohibit cancellation fees.

Typically, there is no payment for cancellation except if it is canceled at the insured’s request during the term of the policy; at that point it can be a short rate see. Basically, if the policyholder requests the cancellation of the policy he or she will lose 10% of the unused premium. However, some state laws even prohibit short rate reversal fees.

To avoid the issue wait until the policy term ends (usually 6 months) to correction insurance carriers. Source(s): 35 years insurance industry experience
