New story - lying to insurers.

Lied to his insurers about his age making himself 51 rather than 21. Also lied about his address too. I think this is one instance where the policy will be void from inception.

This a scam that is rampant amongst certain Eastern Europeans.They insure to a false address (usually a very low risk postcode), create a fictitious, elderly main driver and add themselves as a named driver. A cursory check will show as the car being legitimately insured. We have had real problems getting the insurers to take the issue seriously.

When I moved, I insured at update with NFU Mutual. You actually go in an office and talk to real people, no hoodwinking there.Sa Calobra said:
So if he/someone Elroy blue mentions above hits my car what are the chances of prosecution/pay out?
You'll still get a payout from the insurer as they are duty bound under the Road Traffic Act to pay out to third parties. They'll just try to recoup their outlay from him.Elroy Blue said:

We live at a pretty low risk address close to Ilkley and started getting correspondence and car insurance documents through in a foreign name for someone who I know has never lived at this address. I guessed that something like the above was going on. However the insurance company involved simply weren't interested and kept telling me not to worry about it.... Is there a way to report someone that you are pretty sure is doing something similar?
neighbour has three reported convictions for impersonating a police officer (and one for making child porn). He drives around with strobes all over his car and multiple antenna on the roof wearing a stab vest. He's a bit of a Walter Mitty type but utterly unpleasant and his time inside hasn't rehabilitated him at all. I can't believe he's been honest with his insurer about his convictions or modifications.

If you're so inclined, then check his reg on askmid from your phone or tablet - that'll give you his policy details, rather than simply whether he's covered or not. Then an anonymous letter.neighbour has three reported convictions for impersonating a police officer (and one for making child porn).

Gets worth was drink driving and crashed into parked cars, but its ok has he is doing an unknown degree and unknown uni and is predicted to get a 2:1.
You don't add 9 years to your age by accident.
This is a cultural issue with some types were they need to appear to have all the big ticket branded goods.
Clearly he can't afford to run a BMW!

For my vehicle it just shows as whether it's insured, not the insurer. Also is it not illegal to check a vehicle that you aren't authorised to, as the website states?I'd have thought calling the police would be sufficient - if they know the best times to catch them driving that might help.
