Help!!! I am trying to research on behalf of my husband how long we have to disclose that he has had car insurance void by inception.

 

Long story short we were broken into and the car was stolen in 2007 (a very traumatic time, especially when the car was never found again) When the policy was automatically renewed we had not updated that he had since received three more points, thus voiding his insurance. We accept that it was his fault and have ended up paying £10000 out as we were not insured.

 

What I find utterley appalling is that now since the theft his car insurance has more than trebled due to the 'void' of the insurance. Surely this can not be for the remainder of his life? How long do we have to declare??? To add insult to injury whilst researching I found out that if you are caught drink driving it would only affect your premium for 5 years!! I am thinking that I should turn to crime.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it correct to assume that the policy auto renewed and then the vehicle was stolen and that the motoring offence should have been delared during that period of cover?

 

did they give a reason for voiding the policy??

usually any undisclosed convictions are added to the policy and any backdated premiums paid. If however there are other motoring offenses and then this additional one would have not allowed the policy to renew due to underwriting criteria then they can cancel back the to last renewal date.

Hi, Have you had any luck with this? I am in a very similar situation and from what I understand the need to declare insurance being void form inception is for the rest of my life! It does not seem correct really since like you said - we only have to declare drink driving for 5 years. And yet insurance companies do not ask when was the insurance void - they only want to know if it did. I know this is an old post but maybe someone out there had similar problem and if so, please advise!
