The letter is from our old insurance company A that says that we "owe" them $186 for insurance for January to Feb and that our insurance has been cancelled.
We did get a quote from them, but they were too high and they kept changing the value when I would ask about this or that. We never agreed to their insurance quote for another year and never signed any agreement for another year.
Can they just keep our insurance going without any agreement? Or do we have to cancel the old insurance? I have never had to cancel any old insurance to get insurance from another company in the past.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

I believe there is a clause that should you forget to pay the insurance and a problem happens that you pay and are still covered.
If you don’t call and tell them you don’t want the product you are still deemed to be with them.
Contact the insurance ombudsman for Alberta and ask. Or conversely read your contract for cancellation or missed payment.
