*UPDATE Employee: Company Practices must be followed...
After cancelling a paid-in-full policy, I did a follow up call 3 weeks later. They told me that I needed to cancel a policy that is grouped with my original policy with a different name in order to get my remaining policy refunded. They said that I could not fax it directly to them but would have to go to one of thier offices which is incidently over a half hour away.
At no time was I ever required to refer to this other policy number before to do anything.
They did not notify me at any time in that 3 weeks that there were other things I needed to do to cancel the policy even though they recieved the original cancellation notice.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Company Practices must be followed...
AUTHOR: Stacey - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 02, 2005
I have worked for Direct for over 7 years and there are procedures that we must follow. When an insured wishes to cancel their policy they must write a letter with their policy number/numbers stating when they would like their policy cancelled. They may either mail or fax the letter to us. They may elect to go to an office should they not want to write a letter. We write a general auto policy and if the insured elects they may purchase additional policies which offer extended coverages. These coverages offer rental and medical reimbursement and are assigned a different policy number. When cancelling a policy the cancellation form or letter must have all policy numbers written on the letter or cancellation form. This is a requirement that legally we have to abide by. I apologize for any confusion that this insured has. Direct is and has always been a wonderful insurance company who cares a great deal about it's insured's. Customer Service is one of Direct's top priorities. Should this insured write his/her policy number in this rebuttal I will happily check on the status of his/her refund and if a number is provided on the policy I will call the insured directly with a response.
