I started making a claim more than 14 days ago and didn't finish it but now I can't log back in to complete it, what happened?
For security reasons, we can only hold incomplete or unsubmitted claims for a period of 14 days from the date they're first started. If your claim isn't completed and submitted within this time, it's removed from the system and will need to be started again.
I've forgotten my tracking reference, can you retrieve it?
We recommend you make a safe note of your tracking reference when you apply as we're unable to retrieve it.
The tracking reference would have been displayed on screen when you saved or submitted your claim. If you entered an email address as your contact details, you would also have been sent an email which will confirm the tracking reference. Your tracking reference is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as it appears.

My address doesn't show up in the property list. What do I do?
There are several different reasons for this:
- The property isn't in the Middlesbrough Council area. You'll need to make a claim with your local council (use your postcode to find your local council).
- The property is a new build and we have not received notification from the Valuation Office Agency to tell us it has been completed or amended.
- You may live in a static caravan on a site which the Royal Mail does not recognise as separate residential accommodation.
You can type your address manually on the form by selecting 'I don't know the postcode' and then 'enter an address manually'.
