Ripe Insurance and proof of NCB

[Ali n Tim]

We took out our Motorhome insurance with Ripe at a good price which was about half the renewal quote from Saga.They asked for proof of NCB and Saga have sent their usual document of proof (cancellation letter which includes the NCD entitlement) but Ripe insist they need a ‘certificate’. If we don’t/can’t supply this they will charge an additional £37.69! If we cancel it will cost us £25!!
Anyone else had this problem?

Never had one, or for that matter didn’t realise such a certificate exists.

Always used the renewal document when taking out insurance with a different supplier. Ripe didnt ask for any proof when I renewed with them in October.

I was asked for same by Devitts when I bought the Bongo. Rang Saga and they sent one signed by their Director of Operations!

Update.
We spoke to Saga (everyone we spoke to were very helpful despite us not renewing with them) and they sent us a fourth letter which turned out to be the one mentioned by John Barrett and at last ERS, the underwriters for Ripe, accepted it and the policy has now been validated. We did mention that we were members of a Motorhomes Forum with over 110,000 members! Maybe that swayed their decision
