Default Insurance question?

Hi i am 19 years old, have a full uk driving licence for two years in october, i drive a 1.1i saxo, i have 0 NCB and my insurance is stupid!

This is how it works:

I have had dodgy insurance in the past which worked well but wante to start building ncb so as far as insurase know this is my first policy, i have been with elephant for 3 months, it all started well with a annual premium of £1300 which compaired to 4000+ to other companys that i had chance to check, so phoned elephant and because i couldnt afford a one off payment i went monthly which increased it to £1800, roughly £190 PCM, i was happy with this as it was next to nothing deposit and i was on yhe road with a 6 minute phone call ! (I was overal happy with this) would have liked it cheaper who wouldn't ?

So this is when it went down hill 2months in they asked me for copy of driving card licence and paper, i sent that and theydound out about my 3points i did not declair because they was from when i had dodgy insurance soni didnt want to tell them because as fat as they know i have never been insured, it was for not following road instructions (entering a no entry sign) and well anyway that bump my policy up to £2800!!!! :@ and roughly that is £268 PCM i am atill using them at the moment but i cant afford that for ever!

So does anybody have any ideas what to do? In my situation i need either a cheaper company or a company that wont ask for my recoreds maybe? Any advice ? Like im 19 now in october will have held my licence for two years, got to wait for another 3 years efore my points are dropped, its a steep price considering with dodgy insurance i was paying 700 on a 2L subaru turbo at 17! Which i was using this (dodgy guy) for well over a year (but he dissapeared off te market either fruad in prisonment or got on top) but yeah they wonder why people do things the dodgy way, !!! The price is stupid! Makes me want to go back to dodgy and forget a NCD but i want to do it properly does anybody know better company or so on? And will it cost to cancel my currect policy? 4months in thanks

Kind regards

Dont take offence by this but I think you should be paying the consequences of driving illegally in the first place. You've been caught with 3 points and its also an offence to not disclose them to your insurer.

Not entirely sure what you mean by 'dodgy' insurance, but it doesn't sound legal either way. Deal with it like the rest of us and it will come down given time and patience.


You need to live with your mistakes dude.

Everyone else has paid thier dues, you drive wank cars you build up a NCB and get a better car. Only way to do it unless you've got cash, which you don't.

Get a box thing fitted and put up with it.

Your fault for not declaring from the start, if you had legal insurance at 17 you wouldn't be paying that now.

That's why they ask for you license so you can't lie, you tried to deceive your insurance company. Idiot, they should give you more points imo

It's not going to be long before the insurance companies will be able to link in directly with the DVLA, you will be asked at the time of completing your application by phone/online for the driver number of yourself & any others on the policy.

They will link in with DVLA before confirming cover to confirm licence type, how long its been held and any current endorsements. You won't be able to get away with not declaring. Saves time for general joe public having to send copies to insurers on request aswel.

It's about time too
