Id say all are!

So do all companies require you to do this run around with getting NCB paperwork?

Carole nash just asked me for my bennetts policy number over the phone, I asked if they wished me to get proof they said no you don't have to ring them or anything.

Exactly same here...they asked for my old policy number.

... Which I supplied ebike on registration/application of my ebike policy (you have to) ... so W(hy)TF do they need me to get it for them?!?!!?

Because they want another possible "get out clause", the more of those they have, the more chance they have of getting out of paying out.

The letter said if I didn't provide proof of NCD, that they will cancel my insurance, so that isn't the case

Oh come on. For decades if you change policy you have needed to prove your NCB. Usually you just need to send them the schedule on your renewal notice for your existing provider. That is sufficient proof.

OK, when I changed from ebike to NCD they were able to get the proof they needed electronically, simply by me providing the old policy number. It really depends on whether your existing policy provider is sharing data electronically.

T'is no deal. So why winge. They were obviously cheaper than your old provider. If you don't like having to prove you entitled to a discount. Go back to your old provider

I am insured with e-bike and it was all done electronically? Maybe it is your old insurance company who are not supplying the details? e-bike customer services are pretty good if you get the right person.

Phoned them up ? started off polite, but was fully armed and ready ?

I said, about the letter and that I submitted my details ? she said ?ah, yes, in your case ebike managed to confirm your NCD? ? so I said ?so shall I just ignore the letter then?? she said yes ?

I mean WTF is going on there?!!??
