Cancelled insurance help

[Muddledupzekey]

I recently done a quote on a comparison site and added a named driver.
I got a quote and paid for the full year around 2 week before my insurance was due to start.
7 days before my insurance was to start I got an email saying they had concern about my named driver having previous cancellation which I did not know of, and that they have decided to cancel my policy in 7 days. I spoke with the insurers telling them I am unaware and that the named driver is saying they are unaware of any previous cancelation.
I cancelled the policy that day after receiving the email 7 days before it was due to start as it was the only thing i thought i could do, i panicked as it was so close to my existing insurance running out. I am worried about this genuine mistake affecting my future insurance. I even put on the quote the accident my named driver had In 2023 as I was aware of this so fully disclosed it.
Does anyone know where I stand. I worried sick about future insurance coverage and high premiums over something I did not know. I wish I never added my named driver to the policy and feel like I am paying for it for the rest of my life

I have had aviva policy investigation team look on the system to confirm my quote i done on line is correct and he said everything i have told him he is happy with and everything he can see on the system he's happy with. I told him I paid in full for the year with darwin and they messaged me saying they had concerns about my named driver becuase he had cancelled a policy before and cant go with them for 6 years so I cancelled it straight away before them and he said yes it is different from having my policy cancelled as it's voluntary and I done it.

That’s great @Muddledupzekey - glad it’s sorted!

Yes they have put it as a voluntary cancellation becuase they dont think It was deliberately and it was a genuine mistake. I spoke to aviva policy investigation team today because I wanted to take up on a quote with them that I done and explained I had paid for insurance with darwin and through a comparison site with a named driver on and they said they couldn't give me the policy becuase my named driver wasn't allowed to go with them for 6 years after he'd cancelled with them and they have said it was put as a voluntary cancellation. He was happy with this and allowed me to carry on with the policy. He explained to me that I havent had a cancelled policy but the only thing it would stop me from doing is going with any companies with the same underwriters as darwin. I am really glad I spoke with them and was honest with them as it has taken alot of stress and worry off my shoulders. Best thing I done was speak to the insurance company before taking out a new policy

He has churchil fraud investigation on it as they cant find his registration on their system.

I have spoken to aviva policy investigation team as I decided to go with them and explained everything to them. I told them i wanted to be honest with them. They said they are happy with what I have told them and that they are happy with what they can see on the system. He told me that if darwin have put it as a voluntary cancellation then it is different from having a policy cancelled. The only thing it stops me from doing is taking a policy out with any company underwriten by the same as darwin.
I have not put any named driver on this new policy.
