My hubby and I did this with our broadband/phone provider. We said we wanted a better deal or we’d leave and sign up to another supplier, who had quoted us a lot cheaper monthly fee. Changing meant messing up our email address and changing our phone number, but if we had to, so be it. They uhhmed and ahhed for a bit, but offered us a reduction. Result! We’re now paying less than ever!

In reply to Sally Jenkins.

Thanks, Sally. I still don’t really know whether to be pleased about how much I will be saving or embarrassed/annoyed about the amount I have been overpaying!

And yes, I agree that phoning up can be a good tactic as well, especially if you prefer to stay with your current supplier or service provider. I have done this several times with Virgin Media, my broadband internet provider, and have saved several hundred pounds this way as well 🙂

Wow – well done Nick. Our home insurance renewal recently came through & had gone up by over £50. I rang and selected the ‘I am thinking of leaving option’ on the telephone menu and the person I then spoke to immediately dropped the price by over £70, making it cheaper than what I paid last year. It’s always worth querying any price increase (usually works for car insurance as well).
