What is NOT a basis for an effective cancellation notice from the insurer to the insured?

An effective cancellation notice from the insurer to the insured must adhere to established communication standards that ensure the insured receives the notice in a clear, formal manner. Written notice of cancellation, whether sent via registered mail or through electronic communication, provides a verifiable record of the communication. These methods help ensure that the insured is properly informed of the cancellation, which is crucial for legal and regulatory compliance.

Verbal notice does not meet these standards as it lacks the necessary documentation. Without a written or electronic record, it is difficult to prove that the notice was communicated effectively, which can lead to disputes over whether the insured was made aware of the cancellation. Therefore, relying on verbal notice fails to fulfill the requirement for an effective cancellation notice.
