Highway Insurance have finally settled my claim

Fro

You are quite correct, they do mention some mechanical failure blah blah in the small print of checking, but obviously I could fight this and eventually win but we are talking months maybe a year for this kind of process, all the while my old car is lying in a recovery yard.
I just dont want the stress anymore. Gonna get my car back then talk to Reworx about swapping the engine/turbo plus bits into my new car and sell my T04R and mild ported engine on the forum

Let\'s hope Highway see this thread.........money grabbing evil selfish cocky bunch of w*nkers...i bet they drive beemers..................................

[AndyGen3]

But if you dont and get the car back i wouldnt be swapping parts from the old car... Brought u enuf bad luck as is!!! Just sell them and be done with it...

Mark, you\'re right - you could eventually win that case but it would be a drawn out procedure. I hope you\'re able to recover the car ok.

I\'ll be avoiding highway insurance like the plague from now on. This isn\'t good publicity for them and I hope they reconsider

[BlitzBoy]

well check this the Craig Hammond I dealt with at Highway Insurance was so nice as pie on the phone to me when he took my statement, saying he is car enthusiast himself saying he is part of the Morris Minor Car club, I hope his car catches fire lets see how he likes it when he tries to claim and being j£rked around for two months and lied to as well!

Also the coward drafted the letter on the Friday sent it knowing he is on holiday now ! spineless, he should have been a man and told me on the phone

Sorry to hear about your insurance Mark.  If you can\'t be asked to go through the complaint process then just get the car back and sell for parts.  

When i had 2 crashes and written both of the fds off, i just bit the bullet and did not go through insurance as they will look for any excuse for not to pay you.  I made some money back by selling bits and that was it.


I hope you get it all sorted as i know what you are going through.  Get the car back of them ASAP and see what is left for us all.....lol only kidding bud.

May see you at TOTB.

See you at Ten of the Best my man.

If any of you guys feel like posting this link on any other car forums about Highway insurance feel free. Show them that this company is not a good customer focused company to deal with.

haha do you know what there slogan was on the letter they sent me?
"The Insurer of Choice" hahah WTF did they get that from!

Thats absolutely disgusting.  We need to make sure no one else in the car enthusiaast community fall foul to this cowboy outfit.  Perhaps a drafted email/thread - posted on every car forum we can find, or are a member of, to warn people?  As well as doing people a favour it help to make you feel better that you could cost them the cost of this claim and then some in lost premiums!!

Sorry for you mate - i\'m sure it will all work out in the end - your new car is a beauty, and with you old cars engine!!!....  well say no more.

[BlitzBoy]

Cheers Mark.

I wonder if we can get one of the mods to make this a sticky.

Also I think it serves as a warning that telephone statements are designed to work against you , I told one white lie and they have branded me a fraudster even though me taking the car up the strip has nothing to do with the claim

[BlitzBoy]

Sorry to hear it mate, thats terrible!

Any chance of making this a Sticky in the insurance section Donato?

My Italian blood is just raging at the moment I feel really conned, why did I pay £900 for this worthless policy???

[cannibal]

HIGHWAY Insurance, read HIGHWAY ROBBERY. If they can find any way out they will and do. It\'s bad enough lossing your car like that, but this adds insult to injury.

[Wav]

Gutted for you Mark. I\'d say bite the bullet and get your car back so you can get the engine etc while it is still in a useable condition. I know you shouldn\'t have to do this, but I think it is the only way to get what good is left of the bad.

Sorry again,

Paul

Mark - sorry to hear about this mate. I\'d thought you\'d definately get paid out!! By all means name and shame them on every forum. They deserve what\'s coming to them. Hope you manage to get your car back off them and salvage some bits of it.

Good luck at TOTB - will hopefully be there too (as a spectator)!! :Thumbs-up
