Best Answer

There are only a few reasons that your insurer could cancel a policy mid-term (as opposed to non-renewal).

  • Material misrepresentation-You provided information on your application that was not accurate.
  • Change in risk-Your risk profile has changed substantially since your policy was agreed to. Perhaps you've filed numerous claims, made a substantial change to your property, or allowed something to fall into a state of disrepair.
  • Non-payment-Insurers will quickly cancel a policy that is in arrears.

What does it mean when your insurance company says your policy has been cancelled for lack of underwriting information?

When an insurance company states that your policy has been cancelled due to lack of underwriting information, it means that they have not received the necessary information or documentation required to assess and evaluate the risk associated with providing insurance coverage to you. Underwriting information typically includes details about your personal and financial background, as well as any additional information relevant to assessing your insurance application. Without this information, the insurance company cannot properly determine the level of risk involved in insuring you, leading them to cancel your policy.


Can homeowners insurance be replaced by another insurance?

If you are required to carry homeowners insurance by, say, the bank through which you have your loan, you can switch to another provider for insurance at any time (there are a few forms you would need to fill out, but your new agent would be able to help you with that). You wouldn't be able to switch to another kind of insurance, though. The new policy would need to be a homeowners policy.
