Law / Car Insurance for a foreigner living in Poland on a temporary permit [6]
Hi all,
I'm a foreigner living in Poland on a temporary permit. I have a small business here so I'm self-employed paying my taxes and zus.
On September last year I bought a used car via Allegro and was told by the car owner that it has insurance till January which I could see in it's documents. I was also told to contact the insurance company for cancellation if I wouldn't want to continue with them latest a month before the insurance runs out. Since I don't mind continuing with them, I didn't contact them until few days to the end of the insurance policy.
I got in touch with them (MTU) and asked to renew the insurance. After few questions like my date of birth and the car model etc, they gave me a quote of around 600zł and they asked me to send my details, the contract I did with the previous owner as well as the car documents which I did straight away. I was surprised when I got back only a bill of 182.93 zł which they said is the difference from September when I bought the car till the day the insurance expires. They didn't give me the insurance which I was expecting so I ignored that and parked the car. Today I received a letter from them that I have to pay that bill within 7 days.
If there's anyone who has idea what I should do, I'll be very grateful.
Regards
