    Swann Insurance gets bad rap

    I was sent this article because of the comments about consumer awareness in respect of Insurance Company financial ratings.

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/financial-...ectid=10722354

    I amazed to see the reporter drop this quote:

    Way back in my university holidays I worked one summer temping for a company ‎called Swann Insurance. I was charged with going through motorcycle claims with a ‎fine-toothcomb looking for the tiniest excuse to reject them.

    I only skimmed the article but decided it was a pile of horse shit when I read this:

    it can make sense to use an insurance broker. They get commissions from insurance companies for placing business, and should act in the best interest of the client.
    Another term for this arrangement is "kick back".

    You would prefer the broker to work for free?
