Question 1

What is the AVIVA*DIRECT charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

AVIVA*DIRECT is a legitimate charge from Aviva, one of the UK's largest insurance providers. It relates to a general insurance policy you hold with them, which could cover life, home, or motor insurance. The amount can vary depending on your specific policy type and payment schedule. If you are unsure which policy the charge relates to, you can log into your Aviva account or contact their support team at aviva.co.uk/help-and-support to get a full breakdown.

Question 2

I don't remember signing up for Aviva insurance — should I be worried about this charge?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, AVIVA*DIRECT is a legitimate charge and nothing to be concerned about. It is common for customers to forget they have an active Aviva policy, especially if it was set up some time ago or included as part of a bundle. Aviva provides insurance across life, home, and motor products in the UK and Europe. We recommend checking your emails for any policy documents from Aviva, or visiting aviva.co.uk/help-and-support to verify your active policies before disputing the charge with your bank.

Question 3

How do I cancel my Aviva policy to stop the AVIVA*DIRECT charges?

Accepted Answer

To stop AVIVA*DIRECT charges from appearing on your statement, you will need to cancel your Aviva insurance policy directly with the company. You can do this by visiting aviva.co.uk/help-and-support where you will find options to manage or cancel your policy online, or get in touch with their customer service team. Keep in mind that cancelling mid-term may involve a cancellation fee depending on your policy terms, and you should ensure you have alternative cover in place before cancelling any active insurance.

Question 4

Why does the AVIVA*DIRECT amount change each month on my statement?

Accepted Answer

The variable amount you see for AVIVA*DIRECT is normal for certain Aviva insurance policies. Some policies have premiums that adjust over time based on factors such as annual renewal rate changes, policy amendments you have made, or a shift from a promotional rate to a standard rate. If you are paying for home or motor insurance through Aviva, your premium may also be spread across monthly instalments that include interest.
