NCD transfer
BV,
I had a similar issue on going to the colonies (not the pesky one full of convicts and better rugbyists than us)
I simply wrote (yes with pen and paper) to Directline explained the situation and asked them to miss out the middle man( person) me, and reply forthwith to the new company underwriter, details of whom I had demanded from the new outfit should they want my business (car,house.contents etc.). I ended up with a better offer than the 'unverified' years I had given - perhaps in some cases letting the pros decide the risk 'man to man' is the way to go.
Good luck,
H
