My wife is in Michigan attending school while I work in Texas. So we don't live together. The title of the car that I am driving is under my wife's name only (since it was bought before we got married).
As I moved to Texas, I drove that car to Texas and need to register the car in Texas. To register my car, I have to provide auto insurance. So I went to AAA WITH my wife (the car was insuranced by AAA in Michigan). Since my wife's drive record is not very good, the agent told us that she will do the insurance under my name solely – which will get me a lower premium. She told us never told anyone. In this way, I got auto insurance.
With this insurance, I went to county tax office, got my car registered and got a new plate, then went on to get my new Texas driver license. (The title is still under my wife's name only)
However, about two months later, I received a letter from AAA saying that my insurance is cancelled because I am not the owner of the car. My agent never notified me, so I was really surprised at this letter.
What should I do next? Do I go to talk to this agent? Do I go to another insurance company? Will this cancellation affect my premium if I go to another insurance company?
Thank you very much.
