After mentioning on a couple of insurance related posts about how happy i was to deal with a local broker, and the service i got from them, it seems i may well have been well and truly shafted by them!. I happened to be looking at my business account online and checked my direct debits and standing orders, of which there should be three. One for road tax, one for public liability insurance, and the last one for the van insurance. Only what i discovered was that no payment for the van insurance had been taken from the account since March. This means that i have probably been driving with no insurance for possibly 4 or 5 months now without realising!.
So, in an absolute panic, i looked up the broker i used only to find that they appear to have become a different company, which does not do vehicle insurance, it seems to be oil industry related stuff. So i then looked into van insurance, specifically for window cleaners (past experiences suggest most 'normal' insurers stumble when, after answering questions for 20mins, i get to the fact that my van has a 500l water tank in the back, they then say, oh, we can't cover that!).
The upshot is that i am now insured again(!), but, the company i am now with, want proof of no claims bonus. This is where things get problematic, as, after scouring my emails, for the last few years, i cannot find actual policy documents. I can find credit agreements for the insurance policy, but no actual documents which would have proof of NCB on them.
So my question is, is there some way, some database or something, on which i could find out which insurance company who last insured me?. Given that the broker no longer exists as a vehicle insurer i'm assuming they won't be able to help.
Thanks in advance.
