Where do we go from here?
When we find ourselves in a situation that we’ve never had to deal with before, it can be frustrating and stressful, trying to see our way clear. Life Ledger knows this, and offers you a helping hand just when you need it most. You came here to find out how to notify the AA Breakdown Service of a death, so we’ll start with that.
How do I notify the AA Breakdown Service of a death?
The AA Breakdown Service can be contacted in a number of ways:
- Call them on 0800 107 0267
- Email them at personalsupportteam@theaa.com
- Complete an online form here: https://www.theaa.com/help-support/report-a-bereavement
An alternative would be to register the death within Life Ledger, and allow us to make the notification for you. After completing a short ID verification process, and uploading a copy of the death certificate, you are able to complete the details needed by the AA Breakdown Service. Once done, press send, and the notification has been completed.
But you don’t have to just inform the AA. If you have other companies to notify, then you can continue adding details for those as well. And you can either press send after each, or wait until you have entered all of their details and then Send All. It’s so much quicker and simpler than having to research each and every one, and then actually make the notification. There is no limit to the number you can send, so go ahead.
What information do I need to inform the AA of a death?
You should ensure that you have the following information when you contact them:
- Their membership number
- Vehicle registration number
- Email address associated with the membership
- If you are closing the membership, please give details of the person dealing with the Estate, remembering that if it’s not you to get their permission before doing so
- If you are switching the membership to someone else, you will need to give their full details, again if it’s not you remember to get their permission before doing so
What happens next?
The AA Breakdown Service will keep you informed as to what is going to happen, and where they are within their processes.
As for the rest of the situation, very often we become very confused and frustrated with trying to find out what needs to happen. We here at Life Ledger know how much this can exaggerate the feelings of loss, and to help we created a simple guide. It details the steps that need to be taken, gently helping you to see your way through.
Of course, the biggest challenge that you have ahead of you is to notify all the companies. Which is where Life Ledger really can help you. We can take the task of dealing with them and simplify the process for you. So you don’t have to waste time and spend hours trying to contact each of them. You’ll just gain peace of mind knowing that it is being taken care of. And best of all, the service we’re offering is free to use. We really do just want to help.
