How do I find out who I'm insured with ?!

[SimonV8ster]

Can't find the document, can't search my emails as I cannot get into the email account due to Virgin Media ballsing things up.

I got it taxed beginning of Novemeber so must be insured but can't find any evidence of it !!

Anybody find out for me please ??!!

Wait till you get a renewal letter/quote.

[Rakoosh]

Seriously?????

If you have 'definately' got insurance then you must have paid for it - can't you check your statements / credit card bills ?

But I'm selling the car Thursday and want to cancel the insurance !!

Think you can get this from askmid these days, but costs a few quid.

Check bank statements
direct debits
credit cards
emails for notifications from insurer when you set up policy

Virgin have never ballsed up my account for more than a day, so hopefull you'll be able to check your e-mails tomorrow.

Failing that have you tried looking in the place where you keep your V5 and MOT? That's where my insurance documents are and I can't think of any reason why everyone else doesn't do the same.

Virgin ballsed up my email account months ago and I've got tired of talking to our Indian friends over the phone, when I try and log in it tells me to contact myself for help !!

Not with the V5/MOT.
Could have arrived electronically though.

Assuming you did not pay cash. Look up bank/card statements.

I know its a long shot but whats your postcode and i'll check if you are with Flux.

Feel free to strike me down as the 'naive noob' here,

but how can you not know?

[Deva Link]

It'll be Aviva.

I read a news story of someone whose house burned down, destroying all his docs, and he couldn't remember who he was insured with. Took 2 weeks to track down the insurer.


ETA: Just seen you're a civil servant, so the logical one would be Frizzell (LV=).

It's not usually worth cancelling insurance though - you'll get sod all back.

Fecking hull... Poor guy.

[cayman-black]

fk would never have thought.

[SimonV8ster]

Got it !!

Found on a c/card statement, missed it because it was an obscure name that I didn't recognised. Its a totally on-line system so no documents/emails go out so its all on-line.

Phew - I am insured !!

The cops could soon tell you if you pissed them off, so, why not go to the local cop shop and explain your predicament, they may be prepared to assist you?

[StottyZr]

It sounds stupid but I once forgot who I was insured with (due to changing insurance companies so often as I dick about with cars) I called up a couple before I found I was insured with Admiral Infact I think I called Admiral and they told me I was insured with Elephant

Either way, you're not alone
