ZX Crash.. The claiming bit..

[James.UK]

I got the cheque from the third parties insurance Co (Highways Insurance) yesterday. They were extremely helpfull and very nice people to do business with.. so that's all nicely sorted.. .. But..

We (Jean or I) have yet to hear anything whatsoever from HER insurance Co?!! I phoned them 10 days ago, on both Jeans behalf and my own, and was informed that the matter was in the hands of their legal dept, and that they would "be in touch"..

Needless to say, as we both use the same insurance Co (who have been "less-than" helpfull)) we will both be swopping insurance Co's as soon as possible!!

I was involved in an accident 2 years ago that wasn't my fault and it took from the begining of February when the accident happend until the October to sort it out.
I didn't loos any no claims but my insurance company still bumped the price up and stated that it was because I'd been involved in an accident (can't see how that works when I didn't loose any no claims as I was not at fault).
I soon swapped insurance companys at renewal!
I hope you get it all sorted in less time than I did,

S'funny, I recently binned Highway for the Xantia. I had my previous car (BMW 730) insured with them and it took 6 months for them to get me a certificate with my name spelled correctly ... and then they got the address wrong. That issue was still outstanding when I swapped over to the Xantia.

On changeover they very quickly sent me a cover note with a letter saying the new certificate, etc., would be with me within 14 days. Yeah right! 2 cover notes later the insurance ran out and I politely declined their renewal offer. Then I got a letter saying I wasn't insured because my DD had been returned by the bank unpaid ~ I knew cancelling it at my end was a good idea

Being of a "certain age" I'm now with Saga for both the Xantia and Discovery. Got a great discount on both policies for having both insured with them

Hiya Steve. erm you must admit "Steve G" is rather difficult to spell.

I was of a "Certain age" years ago, so maybe I will see what SAGA have to offer, thanks for the info..

Whoever I end up with will deff be totally UK based as I am fed up with trying to talk to people whose English I can't understand!!

It makes me wonder why things take such an awful long time and how some of the insurance companies can be so rude.

Because while they still have the money they should be paying out, they are still getting interest on it.

You're not being cynical enough....

The reason I'd guess is that if the insurer takes their time, SOME punters will think it isn't worth the effort and give up on their claim....

Dont even get me started with the claim I had with Direct Line- 2 non fault bumps in one week meant an insurance wrangle and no car for 6 months - barstoools the lot of them.
