We understand that Mr Cordell was subjected to a number of Police stops during the policy
                        period whilst driving these vehicles. The stops were due to these vehicles not showing as
                        insured on the Motor Insurers Database (MID). We would confirm that it’s a requirement
                        for Motor Insurers to upload details of all insured policies & vehicles to the MID, the targets
                        set are 95% of policies to be on the MID within 14 days for Motor Trade policies and 95%
                        of vehicles to be on the MID within 21 days for Motor Trade. Accordingly we can note that
                        whilst this database is very effective, it’s not real time and not 100% accurate.

                        We have carried out an investigation to understand why Mr Cordells vehicles were not on
                        the MID leading to these Police stops. It has been established that there is a “bug” in our
                        system when copying and pasting a registration with a space in it into the policy record,
                        that results in an unsuccessful upload to the MID. It does not happen when we receive
                        data electronically or when manually inputting data and was something we were unaware
                        of until this case.  We have  of course  changed  our processes  to  prevent this occurring
                        again.

                        The unfortunate outcome for Mr Cordell of course was that it appeared to the Police that
                        he was driving uninsured and was subjected to unnecessary Police stops. This was not Mr
                        Cordells fault in any way as he had a valid Insurance policy in force and was fully insured
                        to drive these vehicles  for  the  purposes permitted  under  this  policy during  the policy
                        period.

                        As stated above this policy was in force from 00.01 AM on the 23/2/13 and was in force
                        until  Midnight on the  22/2/14. We have been asked to specifically confirm that it was in
                        force on the 14/11/2013 for both the Ford Zetec registration MA57LDY and the Ford Transit
                        registration CX52JRZ.

                        We  trust this letter meets  the requirements of the Police  and the Courts. Should  you
                        require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
