	Strange one this. Basically, I sold my old Omega to my dad and left my tax disc on it. Thing is, my dad's disabled and now the tax is due at the end of the month, he wants to transfer it to his Disabled tax disc. Obviously this means a trip to the DVLA Local Office as it can't be done online, so I've said I'll drop by in the morning on my way home from night shift as I pretty much have to pass it anyway. Dug the log book out, MoT, Disability exemption certificate etc, but can we hell find his insurance certificate. He also doesn't have a clue who he renewed with as he 'just clicked one of those comparison things and did it like that' Any way of finding out who's he with so we can obtain a replacement certificate? Failing that its gonna be £120 or whatever to buy 6 months rent online until we get sorted

	If he did it online he probably got an email about it - is it worth running back through his inbox to see if it's still there? AskMID will tell you if a car is insured, but I'm not sure they can tell you who with.

	Can you not find any old emails from the insurer? Check on www.askmid.co.uk to see if it's even insured at all! You can check on ASKMID who a car is insured with, for 3 quid odd. But, they say you are only allowed to do this if the car has run into you and request details of the collision. But, it's your own car so I can't see anyone getting annoyed.

	Definitely insured! We have all the documents from his old policy (cancellation docs, proof of NCB etc) as well, just not the bloody certificate. Checked e-mails as well to no avail, he clears his inbox practically daily.

	I had this with the Range Rover could I hell as like remember who it was with I rang 3/4 different companies trying to find out, felt a bit of a tit when they told me I wasn't insured with them, I now take better care and try not to change the car in-between renewal dates just in case lol

	Dug through the computer and have found a PDF file saved with the schedule & insurance certificate on. Explained to my dad that they probably didn't post a certificate out at all as some companies do it all online now (I know Quote Me Happy do as I've just taken a policy out with them for a Fiesta runabout for a couple of weeks and had to print my certificate off!).
