lapse in insurance
by Ian
(Cobourg)
Our home insurance lapsed for 4 days from the company we were with. While trying to get insurance from another company they said they would not insure us because we currently did not have insurance. We have no issues with any home insurance company and never had a claim for 20 + years. Whats up??
Refused Insurance
Hi Ian,
I am guessing you have coverage in place now. But the first company you went to likely has a policy of not insuring people who have lapsed insurance or first time insureds. This is a "risk selection" decision and they feel you are higher risk than they want. Nothing personal.
