MID and enforcement
Posted: Thu May 23, 2013 1:58 pm
Hi All
Got a letter today, postmark was from Milton Keynes.
From MID telling me that one of my cars was not on the Motor Insurers Database.
That if I did nothing I would get a fine.
So I checked with my Insurance Broker, quoting reg no.
They found that the Insurance Co. had dropped a bo*l*ck which would be corrected promptly.
As it was a multi vehicle policy I then tried MID for one of the other reg nos.
This to came up "NOT INSURED" in big red capitals.
I rang again to be told the insurer had owned up to dropping not one but the whole lot.
So I can expect another nine letters from Milton Keynes before this is finally sorted.
The interesting bit is that while the mistake was theirs the liability is mine.
Need to carry the policy certificates while driving for now just incase plod takes an interest.
Will be checking MID after each policy renewal or change from now on.
