Getting insurance after insurer cancelled

[CDP]

A colleague moved house on the same day he changed his insurer. The proof of no claims went to the old address and after two weeks waiting the new insurer cancelled the insurance.

The snag is now he's had his insurance cancelled the costs have more than doubled and a lot of insurers simply won't touch him.

Does anybody know of any decent brokers who can help please?

They've definitely cancelled it I'm afraid.

He's managed to find one within £50 of his old policy with Bell.

But thanks for the response.

It all seems all very strange; where to start.

Notwithstanding, anyone who has ever moved house knows that the last thing you will ever think of doing is changing your car insurance on the same day! It is inconceivable that this has happened as you state. No warning, straight cancel, didn't try to call the old insurance, didn't attempt to collect the letter, mail forwarding not set up, changing car insurance and moving on the same day, insurance doubled for this alleged offence, etc, etc...

So they cancelled their insurance and on the phone call? They did not mention that on the same day he was moving house?!!

I read this as your "colleague" has taken out insurance and has not been truthful about the NCB they have and subsequently, they have not been able to prove it and so the new insurance company has voided/cancelled the insurance policy citing no proof of NCB received as per their T&C's. The story is just a story.

If the Insurance company looked into this and found an NCB "irregularity" this may well double the premium as your "colleague" if attempting fraud.

It wasn't fraud, it wasn't me, he's sorted it. The insurance doubled with some providers but as mentioned above (and prior to your inquisition) he managed to get it for about 10% more than before.

Yes the guy is chaotic enough to do all this though it turns out they sent him an email warning that he didn't spot. He did move house on the same day as changing insurance companies and didn't think to redirect the mail.

Everything I've said up there is absolutely true - why would I make it up?
