MarcyDarcy reported number 01626771586 as unknown
I moved houses not a long time ago and the above meenymberhas been trying to contact me a few times a day for the past two weeks. I answered the first phone call and it was about insurance I didn't need. When they called me agAin, I blocked the number. I have just checked my list of blocked numbers and they called me 14 times within a weeek. Complete waste of time

You might see this number if you are cooperating with certain Lettings Agencies, the one that uses Rentshield to get references for them, will probably also try to tell you that you need Liability Insurance Policy as a new Tenant.
I dealt with a very transparent and honest Letting Agency and they told me that I DON'T NEED Liability Policy when dealing with them. Rentshield still phoned me and tried to convince me that without the liability policy I can't rent a house. That was lying in order to get the money from Tenants.
AVOID if you don't feel like paying additional 200pounds a year. Policy is supposed to cover the cost of repairs, in case somebody breaks in or there is a flood.
However, they end up covering only minor damages, like spilling coffee on the carpet. Surely not worth paying nearly 200pounds a year, especially that in most cases, Tenants pay quite high deposits to cover any accidental (or not;)) damages.
Guy on the phone was very determined to sell the policy, therefore he kept repeating that I MUST HAVE IT in order to move in into new house and that all of the money paid by me towards the house I was supposed to move in (one month's rent + deposit= 1400) will be taken over by an Agency because this means not obeying the rules of renting a house.
None of this happened, I moved in without Liability Insurance Policy but the company seems to be able to do almost everything to convince you that you really, really need their policy.
In most cases you don't, however there are Lettings Agencies that sign a contract with Rentshield, who charges them less for checking the background of a prospective tenant, who is then forceed by the Agency to pay for the policy.
The comment left by Mrs Ige: "Forced me to buy a policy that I didn't want" speaks for itself.
The best option - don't answer their calls and don't ring them back! :)
I moved in on time, without any problems and without Rentshield
