Rising premium

Aawegh. Frustrating, really.

I'm used of having this bill land in my mailbox once a year. The one thing I couldn't recall was the sum of the invoice. From as long as I can remember, it's been something around 400-500 (SEK). Now, I'm billed eight hundred and forty-seven crowns (SEK). Wtf?! I called my insurance company just to have a little chat. They looked in the computer and explained how my premium rates will increase as I get older. He read the history. 2006 and 2007 I had payed around 450, and he continued: "Back in 2005, you payed only 340.."

Wow, I was stunned, not to say a bit frightened. Would these rates continue to raise like this? It would give me a premium fee on thousands of crowns. Well, eventually it will raise, he explained. However, he assured me that the premium would not exceed SEK 847 any earlier than 2010.

I'm relieved, sort of..
