Pretty much every policy I've bought online lists a number of assumptions that you are declaring to be true, and if any aren't true then the policy is effectively void, or at least open to question. One of the assumptions often stated is that the policyholder is also the registered keeper. Try getting a quote with your husband's insurer and read all the statements carefully, see what it says?

My bold wouldn't this apply to your ex as well ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He aint going to go down the route of trying to get it back or the money. As said no solicitor will take his case on or him chasing it in court with massive court costs. Her danger is him finding the car and takeing it has prob got spare keys. Think this a case of possesion is nine tenths of the law / If it was me i would sell it // If he wants to fight dirty and be a ******* so be it lets rock and roll baby  I Edited June 9, 2019 by spider1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mossway   15 #34 Posted June 9, 2019 I distantly remember from my studies some  thirty odd years ago something called the ‘nemo dat rule’ which meant that no purchaser could get any better title than the vendor had. If it ain’t hers, any purchaser runs the risk of having it re-possessed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
