Tell them thats why you pay insurance to keep them in a job read them the riot act and ask for the grievance procedjure form and threaten them with omusden or whatever its called. Say you are stressed enough and you dont need to be running around seaching for policy numbers etc thats why they have a database for.
 
its stupid there said as well that there will try and repair the car she hasent even seen it its a R reg car worth about £1200 it needs about the same spending on it to get it repaid as i want a NEW rear quater door and wing suspension strut and strut top poss hub bottom arm track rod end or arm alloy wheel and 2 tyers (metal has chewed them) and side paiting wing to quater,
 
any insurance company is a nightmare to claim with, i believe Flux is one of the worst to deal with actually
 
ESURE and The AA were excellent. Had everything taken car of they just needed my signature and they took care of the rest.

You will find thou that some insurance companys are owned by the same company thats when it becomes a pain.

Example Esure is owned by the royal bank of scotland along with halifax.
 
Have they not appointed a solicitor to act on your behalf for the claim (I had legal cover)? if so then I would have thought he/she is the point of call for yourself so would suggest getting contact info as I was in contact with mine and not so much my insurance comp. I also had the police involved at the scene so everything was down on a report for me which helped but still took a year to get anything (thats with the police report saying I wasnt at fault!!!).

Guess you could also go to the police and ask for there help - explain the situation and ask if you can have his details for submission to your insurance comp (if they are allowed to share that information with you I guess).

Anyway... good luck with the claim!

Insurance companies can be really lazy. It is their job to find out the details with what you have provided. Surely thats what they pay investigators for aswell. They have some similar systems police have to track people down, even contacts in the police to get info. I was a bobby and had it all the time.
 
You only find out how good your insurance company is when you go to make a claim.

All they need is the insurance company and name. Reg number if they can't find anything.
 
I'm with Quinn, only problem i have had is the amount they charged to swap cars on my policy.
 
iam with simply insuriance (traiders poilcy) and was involved in a accident on jan 4th when someone went in to the back ov me phoned them up they said we will phone you back so i thought yes ok then you cba but they phoned me within half hour took all the details got in touch with her company and by middle ov febuary i had been paid out and got to keep the car for free i would recomend them to anyone as they have always been a1 with me

I think they are dragging ther feet is because the car is outside yours so there is no storage charges. If the car was taking away by the police recovery service you are charged by the day so thats when they would act quicker.

Tell them you wish to obtain a grievance procedure form and lodge a official complaint regarding the customer service you are recieving!
 
micky over my dead body am i giveing the GSI to quinn to take away ect im keeping it there can go and swivvel, but i here what ur saying if the car was a total mess and the police had it in there storage there would be like **** off a stick to sort it out,

im going to ask for a grievance form on friday as im guessing i will not get a call on thursday,
