Unfair postcode bandings
Even though I live in a very good area, Im banded post code wise (first 3 numbers) with a relatively bad area. There is very minimal criminal damage and cars stolen from my area yet Im lumped in with the opposite bad area for insurance purposes.
Does anybody know of a company that pinpoints low risk areas in a "high risk" general area as Im getting pretty fcuked off of subsidising others in what surely must be a very unfair system.

The Actuarial part of Insurers are always looking at better ways to rate risks and the systems they employ now lead to far better accuracy of rating, better demographic content etc.
This includes rating to the final digit of your postcode and not just the first part.
So, like Gary @ KM says, if youre having trouble try Gary, Greenlight (or both) as we will both do all we can to help.
Kind regards
