Consumers are not protected under the Insurance Act when purchasing insurance from unlicensed individuals and/or companies. Implications of purchasing insurance from unlicensed individuals include:
- You have no assurance the policy is valid, which can result in claims not being covered.
- Your policy can be voided or cancelled for misrepresentation.
- Policy cancellations can impact your insurance history which can lead to increased costs.
Check FSRA’s website to make an informed choice when working with an Ontario insurance agent or insurer. In addition, see the Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario’s (RIBO) website for a list of all RIBO-licensed insurance brokers.
A FSRA-licensed insurance agent or a RIBO-licensed insurance broker can provide appropriate advice and recommendations on insurance products and tips to avoid auto insurance sales scams.
