My wifes car was written off, at not fault to us.
We bought a new one and for various reasons I want to cancel the insurance with the current company, take my 3 years no claims with me and start a new
policy with a different company.
What are the legalities about declaring I have 3 years no claims to the new company?
As if asked I won't be able to supply a certificate for a week or 2 while the other policy wraps up.
BTW the old car is permanently off the road and there is no chance i would make a claim against it.
Can i delcare I have 3 years without having the cert to prove it?

when i did mine i told them the situation and they were ok with waiting a few weeks for the proof....just give them a bell
Just beware that if the claim is not entirely settled ie, they might not have got any pennies off the "at fault" party, then they may well
insist that you either continue to pay if on DD or not get a refund if paid in full. They may also mark your NCD down until it has been fully
resolved (and therefore be unable to provide proof)
Should resolve once settled though.
As above though should be no problem if the new company has to wait a few weeks.
this was exactly what happended. the insurance company wouldn't close out the claim untill they were satisfied were we not going to repair the
car. They have now done this and I have now sent the cancellation letter. I had to bloody chase em though, robbing buggers. its been weeks since the
claim was settled by the third party. all the while im paying insurance for a car thats off the road
thanks chaps

If this 3 years is from the year before the just-expired policy then give them the old certificate. If the 3 years includes the year you've not yet finished be careful because you haven't really got that 3rd year yet
