Insurance Cancelled

Question:

Hi

I was driving and got stopped by police due to my car not having insurance, as far as I new the insurance was valid, I was issued with a fixed penalty notice and told to produce in the station.

I called the insurance company up and they said they had cancelled my policy so I set up a new one straight away, what should I do?

Paula Says:

You need to find out why the insurance was cancelled.

If it was cancelled due to a direct debit payment not being met then you will not be able to avoid the points and the fine I’m afraid. If the insurance was cancelled as a result of an error then come back to me and I may be able to help you avoid the points.

Are you a new driver? Have you got any points already? If so, how many? You are at risk of 6-8 points and a hefty fine.

Tell me more.
