Hello

My current insurance company informed me that they cannot renew my insurance 'due to a change in underwriting terms'. I passed the test in March 2009 and bought my first car in August 2009. I caused a small accident (hit a parked car/no people involved/my fault) a week later. Four months later I received a letter informing me of a claim against me and nothing else. However, when I try to get a new insurance quote I am asked for the cost of claim. How can I know? How can I get a new insurance? Please, help me. Read more

No, I informed them and sent the accident report form (to my broker), but only received a letter from the insurer four months later and nothing about the claim amount.

I hoped it would work in the same way that in a multi-car pile up, you claim from the person who ran into you rather than the person who shunted them into you....

Good luck with the new car, Chris. looks like you might want a new Forum nick then, later - unless you keep it for sentimental reasons ;-)
