Can we get a refund?!

Actually it was my husband's domain, and he's only realised now that his previous insurers automatically renewed his policy. This has been happening since last April, yes I know, crazy... (he thought it was the home insurance he could see on the statements, I have asked what about any other inclusions he could see on his statements to insurance companies - ie the home insurance - but he's obviously feeling not great so I won't push it...).

Anyway, what are our chances of getting a refund of the excess £1k we've paid? Should the insurers turn us down what are our chances if we contact a financial ombudsman to assist us?

Thank you so so much.

I suspect your chances are slim to none, insurance companies send out notices which say they will auto renew unless you cancel- sorry that is probably not the news you wanted but they haven't broken any laws, on the upside, I know a good divorce lawyer :D
