Budget Direct sued over broken discount promises


Listen Later

Budget Direct is being sued by ASIC over allegations it failed to honour advertised discounts of up to 30% off for approximately 39,000 customers.

The insurer has since reimbursed $3.3 million to affected customers and invested over $70 million in system improvements.
