What measures do Direct Line take to prevent fraud?
Our main aim is to ensure that our honest customers, who of course are the vast majority, are dealt with as soon as possible. However, we know that fraud is a reality and that a very small number of people provide false details in order to make up, or inflate claims. We believe that it is important that we identify these people and avoid paying such claims as they affect the cost of insurance for everybody. As fraud is a criminal offence, we believe it is our duty to forward details of fraud to the Police.
