Narratology

Insurance payment wording: before and after

Compare an insurance payment explanation before and after a plain language rewrite. The revision separates payment options and policy-change fees.

Before

Your premium may be paid as a one-off annual payment by bank transfer, cheque or debit card, or alternatively in 12 monthly instalments by Direct Debit from a UK bank account. Please note that in addition, there are no administration fees payable for policy amendments.

After

You can pay your premium in one of these ways:

  • Make one annual payment by bank transfer, cheque or debit card.
  • Pay in 12 monthly instalments by Direct Debit from a UK bank account.

Fees for changing your policy

We do not charge an administration fee for changes to your policy.
