Insurance to release vehicle from car pound

s_b

my new motor trade policy specifically excludes use to release compounded cars
never had this before guess its a new initiative because traders have been abusing it

any one seen the document from yesterdays budget saying dvla are looking into monthly direct debit road tax payments?

Swift cover policies are not worth the paper they write on.
Cancel the insurance and buy some from a reputable company.

cars of value the pound dont crush they sell at an authorised auction.all scrappers are crushed it generates revenue as the cars siezed are the states property after a certain amount of time.

No, I didn't see anything about monthy VED payments

1.206 The Government will consider whether to reform VED over the medium term, [FONT=MOEGI A+ Humanist 777 BT,Humanist][FONT=MOEGI A+ Humanist 777 BT,Humanist]to ensure that all motorists continue to make a fair contribution to the sustainability of the public finances, and to reflect continuing improvements in vehicle fuel efficiency. In addition, [/FONT][/FONT]the Government aims to develop a direct debit system to allow motorists to spread their VED payments.

Perhaps its just a cheaper (for the government) alternative for those who currently opt to pay every 6 months?

Why wouldn't they accept the ammended insurance?
What you have done sounds like the correct way, to transfer the insurance from the old car to the new car, and print out a valid policy and schedule showing you are insured to drive the new car.




Perfectly valid insurance, and quite an acceptable company to be insured with to comply with the legal requirements in the uk.

Staffs at the Car Pound said Switchcover does not allow its insurance certificate to be used for releasing seized vehicle.

It is a complex situation because some insurance certificates are accepted while some others are not - unfairness and inequality encouraged.

Can you get this certificate in your hand please so I can question you upon it and what was the exact reason they gave for not accepting it ?
Home print ect ?

Does it state that anywhere on your policy or certificate?
