    Just a quick update on this. The void has been removed, insurance company have accepted indemnity for accident! A massive relief! Thank you to everyone who offered help and advice in this matter!

    I told them. The V5 had to be sent in so I explained that it was still in my name. The worst bit is that I even filled part of it in so when I had to salvage the car recently I had to get a new V5 as I had already filled it in! I'm lucky to know someone who is a solicitor so hopefully will get some advice from him. I have to fight this all the way, I have no choice but am hoping that anyone who looks at this will realise the outcome of this whole matter is incredibly unfair on my son who to all intents and purposes has done absolutely nothing wrong.

    I know I come across as quite defeatist but I've read so much stuff on the internet that's negative that it's become incredibly depressing! Spoken to someone from the insurance company who was really lovely and said that we will try to resolve your complaint in the next 8 weeks or hopefully sooner. I am going to try to be more positive and fight this all the way. Thank you so much Uncle Bulgaria for all your advice! If I get through all this favourably then I will definitely buy you a pint!

    They haven't refunded the premium as yet. I'm actually seeing a solicitor regarding this issue next week. I phoned Collingwood this morning to see if they had received my complaints letter which they have. They said someone will be back in contact with me later today.

    True but as he was going to be the registered keeper the parent button didn't even get looked at until you mentioned that there was one! Didn't even see it when the policy was taken out. I realise that this is no excuse but it's only on a drop down box - unless you click on registered keeper -parent there is no warning.

    He's actually passed his test now but is unable to drive because of my error.

    Huge issue now with trying to get insurance! Because the policy is void then no one will insure my son! He's done absolutely nothing wrong here. I was the one on the wrong for not sending off the V5 - yet this voidance seems to have stopped him from driving before he's even started which seems so wrong!

    I have had a letter back stating "as you were not the owner OR registered keeper then the policy is void" My son however, was the owner at the time. Will this hold any weight as it's an OR not an AND.
  9. Welshblonde
    I will and thank you. I will wait and see what happens next. I will continue to contest it as unfair and hopefully Collingwood will realise that there was no intention to deceive them - just a genuine oversight on my part!
  10. Welshblonde
    Unfortunately as he was not the registered keeper when I took out the policy, the point would not have been given if they knew I was the registered keeper. It's really harsh but all I can do is contest it.
  11. Welshblonde
    She was very much of the opinion that no, you have no case which was quite upsetting. I realise I've made a massive mistake here but I genuinely never meant to deceive anyone! Hopefully my insurance company will take this on as I wasn't the owner of the car but the whole registered keeper thing could cause further issues. Thank you to everyone who has advised me so far - it has helped me a great deal.
  12. Welshblonde
    Thank you for all your help so far. It is very much appreciated.

    Another question if my insurance states that I am allowed to drive any car that I am not the owner of as a third party - could my insurance pay out third party costs as I was not the owner only down as the registered keeper by error?
  14. Welshblonde
    I spoke to a lady from the FOS this morning who stated that as he wasn't the registered keeper she wasn't sure if I had a complaint. This is all such a mess and all because I didn't send off a piece a paper. Talk about a lesson learnt!
  15. Welshblonde
    I understand what you mean about fronting - however, I had my own car with my own fully comp insurance. Took learner driver insurance out for my son on his own car -I just didn't send off the V5 - admin error on my part - I only drove his car as a named driver as named on the policy. I really did think I had sorted this in the correct way.
  16. Welshblonde
    Had a letter today stating that as he was not owner/registered keeper then policy is voided according to the underwriters as there was a false declaration. There is also an enclosed form of consent and indemnity to fill in. Do I send it back or not???
  17. Welshblonde
    I sent a letter to the insurance company on the 25th February and have not received any reply from them regarding this matter. Should I send another copy of the letter I first sent and ask them to acknowledge receipt in writing?
  18. Welshblonde
    Unless you click on the parent button there is no warning. All I can do is go down the this was an honest mistake and I feel that my son has been treated unfairly due to my error and hope that the void is taken off his name. Not even bothered about the money for the car- just the fact that a genuine oversight on my part could have such an impact.
  19. Welshblonde
    Thank you. I've checked the Collingwood site and I would not have been offered insurance if I was the registered keeper. When I inputted parent it stated I needed to have my own insurance! I've sent a letter anyway stating it was an honest mistake but legally I don't think that will hold up unfortunately! All a bit of a mess really.
  20. Welshblonde
    One final question - as my son didn't have an accident and the claim has been declared void - do I still need to declare the accident when I am inputting his details. I've put it down on my driving record but not sure what I do about his!
  21. Welshblonde
    Thats great. Thank you so much for your help. Hopefully I can get something sorted for him.
  22. Welshblonde
    The issue that I have is that all the websites I have looked at say have you and any named drivers ever had insurance policies declined, cancelled or voided. Therefore, there does not seem to be a way around it. I will collate the information today and get the wheels in motion.
  23. Welshblonde
    Ive been looking around for car insurance to insure him when he passes but the question is there about ever having insurance cancelled or voided on all websites I've visited. Any ideas?
  24. Welshblonde
    The insurance was basically renewed every month - I think it was the annual policy.
  25. Welshblonde
    When I phoned earlier they stated that the policy would not have been given if they had known I was the registered keeper of the car. Apparently its in their terms and conditions. I guess I can only try and see what happens. The issue now is no-one will insure my son because he's under 25. I can't believe that such a simple oversight is going to have such a massive effect.
