    The norm with a claim you make will step down two years. You don't lose it all.

    I'd have a quick check of your policy booklet though to set your mind at rest.

    If you are a direct line customer or affiliated company the max they go to is 5 years so your 15 doesn't matter.

    You would be stepped down to 3 years NCD.

    Other companies may register your bonus all the way to 10 years.

    You schedule of insurance will probably say your current NCD entitlement.

    Might be worth you having a really good read of your policy just to check how much of your no claims you might loose. Not necessarily all of it. Or better still give your insurance company a ring.
