Is this allowed? What rights do I have in such a situation?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n It may be scary (unfair!), but it can be legal.\n\n Some people associate the premium with age.\n\n It must be included in the terms and conditions.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThere is an annual increase in costs. These are announced to you each year by means of the new policy. In the meantime, the insurance company cannot and may not simply unilaterally adjust a policy without informing you. You must be given the opportunity to object to this, to be able to switch, etc. Some changes can be a reason to terminate the agreement\/policy. However, a clause may be included in the general terms and conditions\/policy, in which a possibility of an increase is arranged upon reaching an age. But I cannot judge this without knowing the terms and conditions or policy. My advice is therefore to first contact the insurer and inquire there. If you cannot figure it out, you can always choose to have a lawyer look at it.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55017649832285,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-43515-mijn-zorgverzekeraar-heeft-afgelopen-jaar-tussentijds-mijn-zorgpremie-verhoogd-met-7-ik-heb-het","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
