Insurance document error

I've just noticed that my insurance certificate has the wrong registration plate number on it. Not one mistake but two letters are wrong on it.

Does this mean I'm not insured? I just called them up but said I have to call customer services during office hours.

I would say that you are not, on the basis that the document does not relate to your vehicle and that insurance companies are willing to do anything to get out of paying a claim. They always say somewhere that it is your responsibility to check the paperwork and advise them of any errors. I personaly would not chance it. If the police did a PNC(?) check your bike would show up as uninsured.

I agree with stalk. Get in contact as soon as possible and keep pestering them until they change it. Dont let them fob you off with excuses.

Ignore the above, you are insured. All companies will indemnify you in the event of a typo.

Just ring them and get them to amend the reg details and send a new cert.

It happens every day - sales advisors are slightly sub-human but human none the less.

Fret not.

I've got something to admit along similar lines!
When I bought my bike from the bike shop and traded in my old one, they had 2 identical XR125's for sale. I had previously decided to buy the slightly lower mileage, slightly higher priced one. So when I returned with my old bike, I had already got my insurance set up for the lower mileage bike.
However, on looking more thoroughly into the servicing book I noticed the mileage didn't add up and it turns out the bike has had the speedo replaced! The shop offered to drop the price to match the other identical bike, but I decided the replacement speedo could affect its re-sale value and ended up taking the slightly higher mileage bike home! It was only after I got home I realised that the insurance covered the other bike and not this one, so I'd actually been riding illegally - rather lucky I wasn't stopped!!

Definitely get your insurance sorted out before riding the bike again... Thumbs Up
