Help/Advice on Car Insurance

Life is more than a bit tricky at the moment - grotty divorce, bankrupt ex who is still living in house (not paying any bills, mortgage etc). Not posting on wrong thread - one of the many areas I am struggling with is CAR INSURANCE - I am 40 - and have had a licence since I was 17, built up my ncb until company car 15 years ago. Five years ago made redundant named driver on two policies in ex-husband's name both 65% insured no claims with NFU - EX refuses to transfer one policy to me - also SP30 2 years old.

Apologies for whittling on with background - at last I come to the ? - NFU have offered me 50% ncb as a start (but they are expensive on basic quote) - all others confused, elephant etc cannot seem to cope with anything out of ordinary.

Has anyone any thoughts on where else I can go or is this a good deal.

    Start by using the links above for confused and insure supermarket.Don't be
    put off by the quotes as they can be beaten.Then visit the insurance websites of the best quotes.Don't be surprised if you now are quoted less.
    Next use the cashback links from MSE like greasypalm or rpoints(so that this site also benefits)and get quotes.Make sure you register with the sites as they will also pay you to join.The log in and your away.You should receive at
    least an extra £15-£20 maybe even more off your insurance.Personally I use
    ''More Than'' who I think like my age,no accidents,conv. etc.Remember to get the extra cashback you must login and use their link for More than etc.Start
    by using Mse link to get to them.Also you maybe interested in https://www.bighair.co.uk another cashback site ...Hope this helps...As for all your other troubles make sure you get the credit you deserve.
