cancelling auto insurance
is it supposed to be this much of a pain in the ass? in May i switched from ING to Meloche Monnex because it ended up saving me around $300. at the same time i got an email from my insurance broker asking why i hadn't sent my renewal payment in for ING, to which i replied saying i wanted to cancel as i had found insurance elsewhere. then a couple weeks later my old broker sends another email, saying that ING has an automatic renewal system and if i want to cancel i need to sign a form and fax it to her, which i did. then just last week i get another email from her, saying that ING now wants proof of my insurance with Meloche Monnex before they'll cancel my old policy. does this sound right? why should they need proof of my current insurance to cancel an old policy, what if i decided to drop insurance completely and take the bus? it's getting to the point where i'm becoming quite annoyed with ING and their broker and i'd love to tell them to get stuffed, but i'm worried if just do nothing if they can somehow affect my credit. i've sent ING no money for any renewal, so in my mind that should be reason enough to cancel the policy. but will they try to ding me with some kind of failed payment that would show up on a credit report?
