    Is there no way that the insurance can be done and then copy of certificate faxed?


    So how does that help the OP?

    Yep - spam sandwiches all done.

    Meanwhile, why are you now attacking mortgage advisers? Still, takes the heat off of me for awhile!

    Strangley I guess the only person here that is regulated to give advice on car insurance :p ( albeit its a sector that I don't work in)
    Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as (financial) advice.
