The problem, in practice
New policy before proper cancellation; opaque offers; mixing supplementary and mandatory mail in one letter without clarity.
Step-by-step guide
Read current policy: effective date, notice rules, model, deductible.

Check the first invoice: premium matches quote; no double bill for the same month.
