The police that were doing the stops came up to me, they told me they wanted to do some
checks on the van I was sitting in, I asked why, and they told me under the road traffic act.
I then passed the police my insurance policy for them to go over, the police officer also asked
me why I had stopped there.
I explained to him I had a meeting in the night club that we were outside, as it was due to
open to the public in 1-month time to secure my future position there. While I was there, I
was also planning on asking if there were any painting jobs, I explained all this to the police
officer I was talking to.
The police looked inside the van and clearly saw it was empty and that there were also no
signs on the van showing it to be a company van. But the police officer was still unhappy. He
talked to yourselves as the insurance company on the phone and was told I was not insured, at
what point I called you myself as my insurance company as I knew I was insured. I explained
the situation to yourselves to be told I was covered for commuting to work, social and
domestic, as well as motor trade, but not for carriage of goods for a company, which did not
matter as my van was empty and still is whilst being in the police impound.
I am putting in a complaint to the independent complaints commission in regard to the
unlawful seizure of my vehicle.
Further to this would it please be possible to find out the status of my insurance policy and
the reasons as to why I have been told you are in the process of closing my policy.
Yours sincerely
