No insurance

[townfanjon]

Following on from a similar ish thread by villa Tom.
I got a letter a few weeks back from my van insurers wanting to know why I hadnt renewed my policy on April 6th, der............ I didnt renew it because I didnt realise it was chuffin due. Cue heart attack. Nearly 3 weeks without insurance.
Within a 1.5 mile radius of our house there are 3 very similar addresses, spenfield court, springfield court and spendfield court, the renewal obviously went to another address.

jeeezzz I dont think that would have stood up in court, beware lads.

Most companies usually just carry it on unless you tell them not to.

Is that Gladiator? That's who I'm with, I believe Admiral don't actually do commercial insurance - their sister company however is Gladiator - who do. Well that's what they told me.

Yep i think you are right mark , we used to have herin doors's car with admiral , its a bit worrying that if a letter goes missing and you genuinely forget , you aint insured . When I renewed ,at least they asked for my email address so hopefully it shouldnt happen again.

Do you pay your yearly premium in one? I pay by montly direct debit. That way I see it come out every month and (presumably) can take that to mean I am insured.

my brother drove around 9 months without insurance. He gave his credit card details over the phone to insurance company for full payment and the payment never got processed correctly. He only found out when trying to pay his road tax.

My brother never noticed the payment did not show up on his card or not certificate was sent through. dohnut.
