    Last july some moron in a lorry drove in to the back of my old van he blamed me to i mean stopping at a roundabout who dose that eh :rolleyes: anyway it went off to the aproved repairers then back to me then back again cos it looked like steivie wounder had done it still looked crap so i complained an complained

    they said i could take it somewhere else but they would not supply me a van to use in the meantime so i went to the ombisman an today finally theyve agreed to give me £450.00 to make up for the crap price i got for it when i got me new un :D

    Like it Spud :thumb:

    I am just in the process of complaining about a carpet I ordered - was sent the wrong design which they insist was the one I ordered. But I had kept a pic of the one I ordered - they are still trying to deny it. Think an omsbudman might sort it for me
    if I don't get the answer I want?:mad:

    Glad youve got back what was yours. Most insuresrs are sharks.

    Im glad Im with NFU mutaual, being a mutual company it is run on fairer basis and you deal with real folk in a local office.

    When my van was wrote off earlier this year incidentally by a loory (milk tanker) i got a hire van for 2 weeks at no cost plus i didnt even have to pay my excess as it is protected. The cheque was isued within 14 days and the whole thing fairly painless.
