A Mansfield man was almost left out of pocket after his insurance company voided his policy and accused him of being dishonest about his occupation. Leon Widdowson, 22, was involved in a collision on Wednesday, May 3, and after weeks of calling and emailing Eridge Underwriting Agency Ltd, he was told that his policy was void.
Leon explained he tried for around two hours at the time to speak to his insurance company but was "a little bit shaken up" and didn't want to have to wait on the phone any longer, so he contacted them again the following day. He said: "I didn't really hear anything back from them until someone sent me an email around May 16.
Leon added: "My pal went and collected the vehicle otherwise it would still be on the road now. He collected it and said I can keep it here, and then he would charge the insurance company storage of vehicle which is down to them not me to pay it." Leon claims he was told that his claim was put on hold as he was a car dealer, and this was not the occupation he had listed, despite explaining the situation. He added: "They voided the policy because my occupation is different supposedly.
