Occupation in motor insurance

Sanch_c

Hi, last year I bought a car for the first time and bought insurance cover online via one of the price comparison websites
When I received the policy, I saw that my occupation was listed as legal executive , which is completely wrong. I called the company to have it changed. The rep asked me what I did and when I said I was a technical specialist at the Bank of England, he said, “so, Civil servant, then?”. That sounded right to me and I said yes.
I have since come to know that though the Bank of England reports to the Chancellor but since it is theoretically independent of the treasury, we are hence not officially considered civil servants.
So, I had 2 questions - first, if I now had a claim, could the insurance company reject it because I have given wrong data. Secondly, I can find no other logical occupation to give - I am not a banker (I am in the Bank’s insurance division) but nor am I an insurance agent or insurance manager. I am not a local government employee and there is no option for just government employee. I don’t have a professional qualification like accountant or actuary. Actually, civil servant is a pretty good and close description. What should I be doing?

Civil servant would suffice.

Bank staff?
Administrators?

Technical specialist is quite broad. Is that in the sense of engineering or data analysis, computing etc

I wouldn't worry about it. In the extremely unlikely event that they did question it for some reason (and why would they?) you can point out that the person on the phone suggested civil servant and you accepted their recommendation. They will have recorded the call no doubt.
