My New Policy - Question!! :(

[karbineftw]

Hi. I have recently taken on a policy with Quinn Direct. They got me a really cheap quote.
This quote activated on the 29th October at 7pm. The money has been taken out of my Mums bank account however my car still isn't activated on the MID (motor insurance database) thus not allowing me to tax it and get it on the road!!
So we are wasting money over the time it's not on. I seem to think it may be something to do with the mandate letter.. Because my mum is paying for it and she is not the main policy holder they have to send a letter home for her to sign and allow however I have been told this is just for the direct debit payments.

Could someone please shed light on the situation I am in?

Thanks..

Nothing you can do really. Just got to wait.

Hence why when sister passed her test on 29th Sept, I called and insured her the day she passed, but to start on 1st Oct. Insurance doc's arrived on the 1st and I was able to tax it on that day for her.

Unfortunatly your just going to have to wait until its on MID, or you get docs. Can take upto 10 days to get onto MID.

Thanks for that Jon. I just needed reassurance that something wasn't a miss.

Thats ok. Took 10 days for my cherished plate change of policy to go onto MID.

I kept expecting to get pulled over.

My grump now, renewed tax online, got confirmation email, but site say tax is still due

Damn. I hate waiting for things like this.
Did you get a confirmation email when you insured your car?

What when I took policy out on car. Think I did. Was back in May now so not 100% sure, but again, car insurance was paid for 8days before it started so paper work etc was all through in time to tax
