Urgent, help please!!!!!

[Gerry M]

I\'ve just had problems with NU over the gf ignis that I wrote off, took 2 months to decide it was written off which from looking at it after it happened I already knew, small cars & artics dont mix, luckily no one was hurt. If I spoke to another call centre in india I was going to explode & insist I got called sir instead of gerry. They finally made the desison that it was written off £7500 to fix car only cost 8500. Now we\'re waiting on conformation of when the new car will arrive.

But yet a few yrs ago when I had my imp damaged when I wrote off the my 900 turbo, it was elephant that took forever & imp was insured with NU & on a trailer loads of mods not declared basically a race car for the road, assessor only asked about the buckets & harnesses because it said hillclimb car to him told him the original eatbelts were still there &  I said which would you prefer in a accident the harness\'es or the static belts he agreed with me didnt have a clue what the car was worth & i made a tidy profit on what it was & got the car back

Was told last monday that things would get sorted out by the end of last weekend.  Just been told today it\'ll probably be this weekend..........  We\'ll see..........
Anyone knows how much it should cost for me to buy the salvage back???

Cheers


By the way, I think we should start a thread on bad insurance company.

more often than not, the person who assessed the damage to your car also places a salvage value to it. This is the figure it usually is to buy back the car.

Hi,
Just called up my insurance broker.
I asked them why is it that I never received any documents stating what mods I have on my car like all you guys.  The answer was it\'s not necessary.
I then said I\'ve been told that it\'s strange not to have such a document.  The answer was, they don\'t work for insurance companys.
I asked if the phone conversation was recorded when I took out my policy. The answer was NO.
They just denied that I\'ve declared the suspensions.  And the guy was on the phone said to me that "I have a feeling there are lots of mods which you didn\'t declar from the beginning you took out the policy"  What kind of commen is that??

Here\'s the question, if they don\'t record phone conversation, nor do they send me a document stating mods, who\'s to say what I have or haven\'t declared???

This thread, which would worry me to be honest lol.

Stand your ground from the info you have been given though and it sounds like you might get somewhere.

Called NU myself.  Was told somehow the claim hasn\'t been set up properly..............  
The engineer\'s inspected the car on 3rd/12, but no reports yet...
This is what I am suggested to do by NU.
Send them the V5 form
Mot
Keys
Service history
Insurance certificate

Forgot to add.  I\'ve sent them the letter Clive wrote me, regarding the dump valve(thank you).  
Hope it\'ll make some difference....

I mean the thread tells the whole story.  Its exactly the sort of thing for the members section imho as its restricted.  I know for a fact that some insurance companies read internet forums.

Anyway, dont send them that stuff untill you agree on whats happening.  If you send them that now you have nothing left to stand on and its theirs.

DO NOT SEND THEM YOUR V5!

 Once they\'ve got that you are screwed, only send it if you have written confirmation of a payout, otherwise you are going to end up loosing the car completely.  If they want the V5 so bad send them a copy, but not the origional.

Does that mean Im putting other members at risk???

Will not send them anything then.

I thinbk the concern over the thread would be if you had made a statement in this thread and then tried to pursue the insurance company on the basis of statements contrary to those posted in this thread, then the insurer could develop a mind to try and pursue you for insurance fraud.

If they read the thread...


As a general rule, don\'t write antyhing in the public domain (i.e. here) that you don\'t want to share with any Tom, Dick, or Harry that happens by.

This post is in no way intended to insinuate that people named Tom, Dick, Harry, or any other name which could reasonably be considered a derivatives thereof, are more or less untrustworthy than people of any other name in any way.

What about "Archer" and "Maxwell?"
