  3. I would email a copy of the invoice over and tell them to dissist from harrasing you for future make sure invoice states day time and a signed for signature confirming handover time to the minute why because 15 years ago a customer took a car and got a speeding ticket 19 miles up the road, try sorting that one finally always always electronically advise dvla of change of ownership and print everything off and attach to invoice pdi checklist etc and file it for 7 years
  4. but if you had made a claim they would have still held it against you for a non commercial insurance policy we can no doubt be assured i have had a saying in life that Michael Caine taught me many years ago and it still holds true "if they haven't got you one way they've got you another way" Alfie...
