| Why do you need it for? I don't know of any insurance company that would cover you from a past date. With the policy the insurance company promises to cover the future damages that might occur from the causes mentioned in the plan. A past dated policy will be an assurance for the insured to receive coverage for the past damages, which wouldn't be good business strategy from the insurer's part. |

| With the Insurance company that I use, you can't 'pre-date' it. The day you buy the policy is the date in which your coverage starts. |

Oh I'm sorry but this is hysterical!  Well Jeorge, | Quote: | | Why do you need it for? |
clearly the OP has got themselves in some trouble!
Cya, what happened? driving without ins. and got in an accident? I can tell you that any agent caught doing something that stupid (back dating coverage) would lose his license, his job, all contracts, and may face huge fines or jail...you also would be in more trouble than you already are...sooooooooooo if you can find an agent to do that...don't turn your back on him/her.

Lori, your response mirrored my own. I could only think of two things that could have happened to cause this:
1. Accident or ticket without insurance. Ooops.
2. Full coverage on a financed vehicle hasn't been proved and the creditor is whining and has attached VSI to the contract for a ridiculous price. Most policies will provide the broadest coverage that exists on currently insured cars for newly acquired cars automatically for a period of time after purchase. Creditors don't, however, get nervous about insurance for a few months after they get the paperwork.
And the likelihood of this being the reason for the question in unlikely. Got a hunch it's #1 above.
OP- there isn't an insurance agent in the world who will backdate vehicle insurance coverage for you. If they did, they're in a lot of trouble, both with the insurer and the state insurance division. It's expressly prohibited for exactly the reason most would think...these policies are not intended to cover losses that occurred prior to the policy inception date.
I'm sorry this has happened, if this is the case. If it is, we can still help you. Just let us know what's up.

Yep I'd go with that one too ...  | Quote: | | If they did, they're in a lot of trouble, both with the insurer and the state insurance division |
And perhaps the local prosecutor might want to join the club as well

I suppose there are thousands of people out there who would give almost anything to "back date" their auto or home policy just 3 or 5 days.
I think most of us know that if we get behind the wheel of an automobile and get stopped by a police officer, the very first things that he/she wants is - "Your registration and proof of insurance, please."
When anyone gets behind the wheel on I-95 and drives 80 mph, without adequate auto insurance, they are just irresponsible drivers, there's nothing else to say.

Hi!

What is VSI? has it got something to do with my not having insurance? is it a kind of coverage? or a penalty?

Sorry, probably should have explained. "VSI" is "vendor's single interest" coverage. It's purchased and placed by a creditor when a borrower doesn't provide evidence of physical damage insurance coverage on a financed vehicle. They usually give you a little while to prove it, because the lenders know about paperwork, but after awhile they'll do it.
The coverage is expensive and DOES NOT PROVIDE LIABILITY COVERAGE!  I cannot stress that enough. It's simply coverage to protect the lender's interest (financial) in the vehicle being financed in case the uninsured borrower manager to get the car damaged somehow and can't fix it. They could give a rip about the borrower's liability protection, though...

what difference will it make? Regardless you're in trouble because of the ticket either way you're screwed its a good chance that the insurance will be looked at and not even questioned then you (who hope is now insured) learned a lesson and move on with life. People are so non sympathetic these days of harsh economic times. Maybe because unlike us (where its either spend money on something like insurance or put food on the table.) Minimal wage is anywhere from $7-$8.50 an hour gas is half that a gallon but hey why not insure a car when you cant have the money to gas it absurd. If it was an accident I would not, but a ticket (from a prick making 30-40k a year and cant relate to your hardships) try to fight it anyway you can.

If you cannot afford the gas and the insurance, you should not be driving (and putting the rest of us who do at risk).
