Insurers may refuse to provide your home contents insurance in the following situations:
- Failure to Pay the Premium
- Criminal Record
- Driver's License Suspension
- Committing fraud
- (Too many) claims
- Uninsured for too long
- Young driver combined with a fast/expensive vehicle
Insurers are not required to accept every customer. They are free to decide for themselves whom they want as customers. Only health insurers are required to accept everyone for basic health insurance. When a new insurance application is submitted, insurers consult the Stichting CIS database. Stichting CIS records information about people who have been involved in fraud, insurance claims, and driver’s license suspensions.
How can I avoid being rejected?
The examples mentioned above, such as late payments or committing fraud, can be reasons for an insurer to deny your application. Of course, it can happen that you pay a bill late once in a while. That in itself isn’t a major problem. It only becomes a problem when you consistently pay late. As a result, you’ll be listed as a delinquent payer in the CIS database. To avoid this, it’s important that you pay your bills on time.

Here at inboedelverzekering.nl, we’re always here to help you find a solution. Even if you’ve been turned down, we can still find a suitable option for you. First, we’ll try to place you with a standard insurer. If that doesn’t work out, we’ll come up with an alternative. In most cases, you can always turn to De Vereende (formerly Rialto). This insurance company will almost always accept an application, but the premiums are many times higher than those of regular insurers. In addition, the premium often has to be paid in advance for the first three months.
