    To the email the insurer sent as follows :-

    This is to confirm that your insurance has now been cancelled.
    To avoid you committing an offence under section 147 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, there are some legal procedures which need to be carried out within 7 days.
    This sounds serious, but can be done very simply.
    Please just click "Reply", ensuring that this original email is included.
    Replying confirms you agree to all the information in the prepared statement below. It is your written confirmation of cancellation and fulfils your legal obligations.
    Section 147 of the Road Traffic Act 1988
    Motor Insurance Policy Number:
    -
    Policy Holder's Name:
    -
    Vehicle Registration Number:
    -

    I confirm that the policy to which the certificate relates has ceased to have effect as from the date below.
    Date:
    21/10/2010

    Notes:
    The use of this form means that your policy is cancelled. It will be deleted from the Motor Insurers' Database which is used by the police to enforce the law on insurance and if you use your vehicle without a valid policy, you will be committing an offence.
    The declaration must be submitted to the insurer or the insurer's appointed agent within seven days of the cancellation date. Failure to comply with this requirement is an offence under section 147 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.

    I was thinking of responding as such (although struggling to word it and not sure if this even matters/makes a different) - just don't want it to affect a very good problem free driving history of over 20years

    Hi yes we did. For the subsequent quotes we told the insurance companies exactly what took place... and asked before we went through all the details did they think it would be a problem for them to provide insurance too..
