ASKMID On-Line service down

I have been trying to access the Motor Insurers Database through the ASKMID service provided by MIB since last night and it seems to be unavailable. Anyone ?

    There is a message on their site saying there is currently a problem and thanking you for being patient!
  • I hadn't seen the message, so, earlier today, I notified MIB of the loss of service by E-Mail through their website.




    Lets hope they are more switched-on than the DEFACTO rated insurance company I've been dealing with (AA), which is the main reason I have need to access the ASKMID service. I have a missing certificate of Insurance for this year's renewal (Term start's today) in my on-line account with them, despite telephone renewal of the policy, for a second year, in mid-February and the money being taken a week later. In February I had to make a big fuss before I was issued with a Certificate Of Insurance (As an E-mail attachment). However, the way this was done and all the excuses that were proferred didn't fill me with confidence. Hence my need to check with AskMid. For all I know some unscrupulous salesman could just be trying to manipulate the distance selling regulations.
