Horrible car insurance situation

CJ1990

Hi! Bit of a complicated situation here, I'll get straight to the point..

I was the only motability driver for my gran from 2012-2017 When she unfortunately passed away. After her death I bought my own car and dealt with my own insurance for the first time ever.

Now this is where the issue starts. I wasn't aware I could use my Motability History Check Letter (which i now have) as a form of no claims, so I put zero NC down and had to pay 97 a month to Goskippy (horrible).

My insurence comes go an end at midnight tonight and I already had my new insurance in place (550 in one payment), but unfortunately I had a minor bump into someone couple weeks ago. Very minor, nothing wrong noticeably with my or his car, but the person is milking it and claiming whiplash etc.

So now my NCB is up in the air and companies are telling me I can't even use my Motability years since I forgot to submit it to Goskippy as I didn't know I could at the time, which leave me with zero NCB thanks to a minor accident. The only accident I've had since I passed my test in 2012, and it's shot my insurance right up to a point I csnt afford to take on a new policy.

Is there any way I can get my Motability years added on, so that I will have 4 NCB (minus 2 years for my recent 'crash') instead of none?

I feel I'm being hammered for not being aware I could use history check letter. I am kicking myself about this but my gran passing last year was the worst event in my life and still is very raw.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, you are where you are. The motability years are not certified no claims bonus, and only certain insurers accept in lieu of actual NCB. I'd be surprised if anyone will accept it with a gap, especially with a recent fault accident.

You could try explaining the situation to a specialist broker, I notice Chartwell advertise as being able to accept motability history, but the fact they advertise is no indicator of quality and I'd never heard of them before I googled them so this is not a recommendation.

Very few Insurers accept Motobaility proof of no claims bonus, so it was unlikely Go Skippy would have.

The normal company who will accept it (If you speak to them) are RSA and More Than

That's for the replies. Esure have already told me they accept Motability check letter as NCB, and they were one of my cheapest options. But like o said, after the minor accident even they have rocketed up !!!128078;
