Question:
I have Tesco Car Insurance, why have I received an Insurance Advisory Letter/Fixed Penalty Notice?
Answer:
The MID is the Motor Insurer's Database. Data from the MID is used by police to help combat uninsured driving. If your details haven’t been entered on the MID you may be stopped by the police. There’s a risk that your vehicle could be seized if the correct details haven’t been registered. For private individuals it’s the responsibility of the driver to ensure they have the correct level of cover and the responsibility of the insurance provider to get details of a policy or changes on MID within seven days of the effective date.
There could be a number of reasons for your vehicle not showing up on the MID; Your registration mark may be incorrect on the MID, your vehicle/policy details may not have been sent to the MID, or your insurance may have expired. If you have Tesco Car Insurance and your policy number starts with an 8, please call us on 0845 300 400 If your policy number starts with any other number please call us on 0845 673 0000 and we will do our very best to resolve this for you as quickly as possible.
