The Financial Services Authority is warning consumers about a company called 'H&O Insure Limited' which it believes is offering invalid motor insurance policies to the general public.
Policies issued under this name have come to light in the Birmingham area, but the extent and location of all the sales of such policies are not known.
H&O Insure Limited claim to be based at an address which is empty and awaiting demolition and there is no trace of the company on the register maintained by Companies House. The company is not authorised by the FSA to act as an insurer so their policies are invalid.
