somewhere during the course of our house purchase it would appear that a second insurance company has muscled in on the act and the house is now insured twice. we took out cover with credit agricole who provided the mortgage, but have recently had correspondence from another company claiming that we owe the premium for the insurance they are providing. They have sent us a copy of a signed contract which is a little strange in that it was suposedly signed in france on a date that we were not even in the country. In uk it would be a simple matter of not paying for the second policy and the company would then cancell it , however this company say we have to pay and they can't cancel until the renewal date ....anyone know the legal ins and outs of this situation???

hi I'm  fitter by trade and would firstly be very wary about buying doors without first examining them. Modern kitchen doors warp very easily if not stored correctly (i.e. dead flat). Once warped they can be very difficult to get a proper fit. The problem with hinge holes is easily overcome as has been suggested in previous posts, but even with my experience i don't think i could be bothered to lug all the stuf over here when the available french doors and carcasses are perfectly ok. Its just a case of shopping around to get what you want and far better that than having kitchen units full of holes and blanking plugs .
