 You will remember that, from the 1 August 2016, the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) Private Motor Insurance (PMI) Order came into force, in relation to No Claims Discount (NCD) protection. This Order affects all policies written as private car products (excluding motor cycle and classic car) where No Claims Discount (NCD) protection is offered (unless such protection is integral to the product).

 This is just a reminder of the need to submit your annual declaration by 01.02.19, along with NCD tables for the insurers that you arrange private car business with, where NCD protection applies (excluding motor cycle and classic car).

 The statement itself is simple enough, and is included below. This needs to be emailed to the CMA before 01.02.19 at PMI.Order@cma.gsi.gov.uk.

 The statement needs to be supported by tables confirming the average NCB provided by each insurer.

 If you need any help or guidance, do please get in touch. Otherwise, you need to ensure that you have submitted the declaration before the deadline.
