ask mid

[brightspark]

a strange one I just looked up my new van details on ask mid insurance database it comes back as a vw crafter and not a Peugeot partner whats that about

Probably just fat fingered data entry, the reg number may have been typed in incorrectly.

Blindingly obvious statement: Phone your insurers to get it checked and corrected.

 

[earthman]

I've experienced that too, just phone your insurance company, hopefully just a typing error or someone is using the same number plate on another van.

Check the reg on mot checker and tax check through dvla and see what that says for piece of mind/confirmation.

Did you have a VW prior to the Pug? If you did then maybe when you changed the insurance company cocked up and never updated the make.

 

[brightspark]

no had a Vauxhall combo

Checked mine ages ago and it came back uninsured, called and it was so I don’t think it’s as cracked up to reality as it should be

They should rectify that otherwise you could get pulled by plod all the time, they access the same system apparently.

I got pulled on my way to the first race meeting of last year, i'd only re-insured the van the day before so it hadn't gone on the database so he gave me a producer.
What did surprise me is the copper told me that it isn't compulsory for insurers to be on the mid database, They have to pay to be on their and a few still dont.

 

[brightspark]

got to the bottom of it 2day its all registered and insured correctly BUT the fools in the garage I bought it from have put the wrong number on the plate instead of ny19...….they read nv19 wouldnt care I got one made for my trailer for a tenner they can give me one of them as well for the trouble and swop them . I work in a few places that have private monitored parks and im exempt from paying gotta ring them up now get them changed

it says on the paperwork the ask mid might not update for a few days if yours isn't there

Yes, I know that, especially if it's the first time you have registered a number plate/used that insurance company it would seem, on future renewals mine now comes up straight away. I just think it's crazy that it's not compulsory for ALL insurance providers to use.

I got a nasty letter from the DVLA once saying my bike wasn't insured. I appears that my insurers took it off the data base a month before it was due for renewal as that was their policy. They have stopped doing it now.

Opportunity to have the Pug 'stolen' and replaced with an VW Crafter perhaps?

 

[Turbo]

My dad got pulled over by the plod after putting his private plate on his new car. According to their system the new plate was still on its original vehicle so they saw it on his car, thought it was stolen pulled him over with blue lights, siren, the works! Frightened the life out of my parents, both in their 80's!

Once they saw who they had pulled over the cops were ok & gave him a producer for his car paperwork. The problem was due to both the DVLA being too slow to swap the details over in their system and the car dealer telling my dad it was ok to drive the car on the new number.
