AI Summary
Based on 1 community report
This Brighton number has been reported for aggressive cold calling related to home plumbing and pipe cover insurance. The caller claims your existing cover is about to expire and attempts to automatically renew it without your permission. When the recipient in this report pushed back, the caller reportedly threatened a cancellation fee for being "rude," which is a high-pressure intimidation tactic designed to panic people into compliance.
It's worth noting this call has no upvotes or downvotes yet, so confidence in the report is limited, though the described behaviour is consistent with known insurance scam tactics. Legitimate companies will never threaten charges for questioning a renewal. Do not agree to any payments or policy extensions over the phone, and if you're concerned about your actual Severn Trent account, contact them directly through their official website.

1 totalSoooooo rude! A man told me my cover for pipes and plumbing was running out and asked how the plumbing was doing. I told him it was all fine and then he said he would extend my cover for another year. I told him he hadnt asked me and he said he was going to cancel my policy and charge me a cancellation fee for being rude!! OMG - what kind of service is that. Clearly a scam and in a panic I cancelled my DD with Severn Trent Water!!
