Budget Insurance *****s my money

I contacted hippo for insurance on a vehicle. They put me through to Budget Insurance to obtain a quote.<br> I gave my details for the quote and specified twice I only want a quote.<br> <br> I later received details and a welcome email for my policy. I phoned them back and was told by a different person that the policy had been activated. I explained that I had only requested a quote. I was put back to the person who gave me my quote who assured me it was only a quotation.<br> <br> I received another call to ask if my query was dealt with in a satisfactory manner. I told the call agent that I was assured it is only a quote given to me. He assured me it was not and that I would have to go through to cancellations to cancel the policy since it had been activated. I cancelled the policy with cancellations and also spoke to the manager of the person who had activated the policy without my consent.<br> <br> Today I see they have processed the policy on my bank account!!!
