Default Insurance issues

Hi all. Long time no see. After a little advice...
Some may remember my scooby being written off at 80 on the m18, some passed it that night.
Well after a long time fighting with octagon, they finally screwed me over, voided my policy and got away without paying out. I went to the ombudsmen, who seemed really uninterested. So, not only did they get away with not paying, my quotes are sky high. I'm wanting to buy another scooby this weekend, but 1200 is my best quote, I only pay 200 a year on my supra so I'm not prepared to pay that much for any other car.
Does anybody have any ideas or a way around having this void I've got?
Many thanks in advance

Yeah it's a long story that spans 9 months of tonnes of different excuses for trying to void my policy, their first excuse being "oh dear, you didn't disclose you had none standard alloys", I asked how they came to that conclusion, reply, "well, subarus don't come with gold alloys"... Ermmm I'm pretty sure they do

Hi,
Please feel free to give us a try for insurance if you like. We have schemes that cater for customers who have had previous policies voided.
If you wanted to PM me some contact details I'd be happy to arrange for one of my quotes team to give you a call back.
Regards,
Dan.
