    Insurance/car tax for brandnew car confusion

    you can submit a change of vehicle request to your insurer before pick up normally. They would send you a covernote which would show the start date as the day of collection. The dealership is most likely trying to valid that there is insurance in place before releasing the vehicle to you...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    The initial letter from the sols is always long winded. if its a simple hit in rear (might put my flame suit on for this but insurers generally wont take much interest that he was on his phone) then they wont have to worry, they can just forward the documents on to her insurer and stop worrying...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    The biggest part that people miss is trying to work logic versus numbers. using the above example, the way it use to be is when you pass your test, you would buy a little run around for a few years before upgrading to something newer or bigger. so insurers would have a mass amount of 17 - 20...

    Insurance help needed urgent

    will normally be decided by the type of insurer. The mainstream ones will likely cover the OP change unless they picked something completely different. From a personal perspective, i had a crash in June (Non Fault) car was written off. Churchill insured the car. Just called them up and they...

    Insurance help needed urgent

    they will basically keep the claim open for a duration (this changes depending on the insurer) as the other parties would still have up to 3 years to submit a personal injury claim or 5 years to submit a property claim. They normally wont keep it open for the full duration of the claim life but...

    Sisters car written off - other driver taking legal action.

    The 8% is only applicable if the file ends up in court. The rest of the letter is a standard template letter from a solicitor. they send them generally if liability hasnt been agreed or their costs havent been paid. Some sols send blank summons letters to try and provoke a response. The only...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    yea, its an odd time for the bigger companies. Even seen some of the big brands pull out of doing personal motor insurance for that very reason

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Wouldn't say record profit compared to previous years, ironically the best years was during lock down due to the restriction on travel meaning less accidents but yes a profit is being made. Cost of vehicle claims maybe higher, but going forward since the introduction of the Official Injury Claim...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    the other bit is that there was a change regarding pricing, from what i gather (as it isn't my area anymore) is that they were told they are not able to give two different prices if someone is up for renewal and then they enter their details as a new customer, so everyone thought it would help...

    Non Fault Claim

    If there's concerns over the value placed on the vehicle then claiming via your own insurer might be better as like mentioned above, you wont be in contract with the third party insurer so holding out or complaining might not change anything. Been a few years since i needed to resolve total...

    Non Fault Claim

    you can always go back to your own insurer. as you are not in contract with them then you can change your mind. they will offer market value for the vehicle so it wont take in to account the garage profit etc. The third party insurer will mostly challenge Credit Hire company hire rates, whereas...

    Boilers. Boilers, Boilers

    mainly, the house fund is coming within budget so im able to get more done at this point. aside from the garden and garage (which has been majority paid for in advance) the boiler is the last thing within the house that is needed. whilst its working, i would be doubtful to think its the most...

    Boilers. Boilers, Boilers

    boiler is working for now, but it would be the only thing not changed in the house so may as well get it done in one sitting. thats my trail of thought at least
