Bennets did the same thing with me.  They automatically renewed my policy.  I rang up on the day to see if they could better my new quote and she said "oh its already been renewed"  So i cancelled it with no problem.  They sent me the same letter Jools had and a prepaid envelope to return the certificate to them.  Trouble is that was a week ago and the certifiacte hasnt turned up yet!
 Also had the letter from Amber Credit which i have just filled in and returned to say i want to cancel.
