Home contents insurers for bankrupts?

Any of you bankrupts found someone who will insure your home contents? If so, please tell me who you are with!

I arranged a quote this morning under OH's name (he has never been bankrupt), it asked if he had been bankrupt, so i said no. I thought it best to confirm with the company though as previous quotes asked if anyone in the house has been a bankrupt. He said the quote would have to go to the underwriters who would then decide whether they would cover us.

Blooming heck! What fun and games.

Thanks again Conor

I have just spoken with a lovely lady at Barclays and set up my home insurance. She made a quick call to the underwriters to tell them I was up front about being a very recently discharged bankrupt and they were happy to insure me, at the same quote I received online when they didn't know i was bankrupt so full marks for Barclays! :T

P.s they are also happy for me to pay monthly dd, whereas other quotes wanted the whole premium up front when they knew i had been bankrupt.

I have to be honest - I have NOT taken out any contents insurance since I was declared BR.

Yeah they're not bad and have been consistently the cheapest IME.

Have to say that when I banked (had current account there), Barclays were very helpful throughout it and although they froze my account, when I contacted them about it, they phoned the OR straight away and reinstated it. I certainly had non of the nightmares that people at other banks have posted about.
