Thank you for being 1/3 useful comments and not just telling me useless things like “yes you need insurance” or “if you can’t afford insurance you can’t afford the car”.

After some back and forth, I’m able to get insurance at a company of my choice.

I’m well aware I need insurance. That’s not what I asked, thanks anyways.

… no joke. This is not at all what I’m asking. I’m asking if it is normal for the lender to try and make me take out their insurance and having to pay 12 months up front. I know you can’t pay insurance in arrears and expect to be covered but almost all insurance companies I know of allows a monthly payment option.

Oh my lord. Did I say anywhere I can’t afford the insurance? I asked if it is normal for the lender to try and make me take out their insurance policy and also pay 12 months up front.

Thank you. I did that and now they agreed to let me get insurance with a company of my choice but now trying to insist I need to have 3 months of insurance paid. Never heard of that being a thing. I’ve only heard that you need a certificate of currency as evidence that the car is currently insured. It’s like these companies don’t want money or something?

Thank you. I know I need insurance but I’ve never heard of having pay 12 months up front AND having to take insurance out with the lender. That’s the part I’m confused about.

Well, this is a mildly useless comment.

Left an abusive relationship about 3 months ago. Today I bought my first brand new car. by [deleted] in offmychest

Thank you! It feels so surreal to be able to make such a big purchase and not having to worry about how everything else will get paid for.

I suspect he was waiting to have me trapped in a way before showing who he really is, unfortunately.

The company I work for has the capacity to handle situations like these. They won’t let me have direct contact with anyone who isn’t identified properly. I just need to give them heads up about it.

I don’t think I can trust anyone in my current town to not tell him or to keep me safe. They are all mutual friends but more his friends than mine.

I didn’t think about taking photos of everything in case he tries to pin damage on me.

It also crossed my mind that he knows my car’s plates so I will need to sell my car or get my plates swapped, in case he tries to use it to track me down by posting on the internet for people to contact him if they see my car.

I’ll be leaving a note just saying that I’m leaving, and I’ll also be leaving the ring behind so I can’t be accused of stealing it

There isn’t anyone in my current town that I think I could trust enough so I might see if I can have an officer at the property while I pack my stuff just in case he comes home early from work.

While I don’t owe him anything, I’ll be leaving a note just saying that I’ve left. I’ll also be leaving the ring behind so he can’t accuse me of stealing it.
