claim

We've all seen the claims/evidence that the OBD displays on our cars in incorrect and that our displayed MPG figures are wrong. Wrong, you say ? Yes, wrong. Apparently ..... Now, that got me thinking. What makes it wrong ? Is it wrong due to an incorrect measurement of the fuel used or an...

It didnt happen but it got me thinking, whilst driving to work this morning in the snow I was nearly killed by a **** cutting out of stationary traffic into the middle lane of the motorway only super driving by myself (if i do say so!) prevented a large pile up. But as I was leaning out the...

I am married to a 37 yr old paraplegic (T6 complete - if you know what that means) We have a kid - 2.5 yrs old - born well after her accident. we live on a farm / water mill, with dangerous rivers / muddy impassable areas etc. I took her on 'warts n all' and married her in 08. We are...

Hi, In August a tanker took the side and front off my car approaching a roundabout. No probs in liability - they are 100% at fault. Car is a white C250 2011 reg and the depreciation value has been given as £2000. Does this seem about right? How do I get a non biased valuation?? Gutted....

Several months ago and after countless annoying calls from a PPI claims management firm, I decided to take the advice of the "money saving expert" and try this myself. Since I dont normally keep documents for longer than a year or so, it took a while to get together all the account details...

The insurance is due on the SL shortly, so I rang Elephant to 'disclose' the incident Mrs BTB had in her car earlier in the year (somebody ran into the back of her Audi - all liability accepted by the other party and repairs paid for by their insurance). "No problem sir" said the man, "but...

I have an S320CDI which I bought new in September 2002. It has a full MB service history. It has been mechanically faultless and still drives like the day it was new, which is why I have kept it for almost 10 years. Last autumn I noticed some corrosion starting around both rear wheel arches...

Having submitted a claim for my S211 which was stolen on June 17th, my insurers have come back to me with a list of the paperwork they need sent to them. I'm OK with it all, except that they also want the V5. Now, if the car had been badly damaged and they told me it was being written off, they...

Hi My wife used to insure two cars under two completely seperate policies, and therefore had x2 NCB's built up, both were at 5 years. She now has just 1 policy and has 1 NCB in use, the other is sitting dormant. Last year she had a claim on her policy and its dropped to 3 years NCB...

As I read this morning of yet another MB corrosion warranty claim refusal, I think it's time to try to look at the positive side of this part of MB's important customer relationship work. We have heard of (or been the direct victom of) MB's very robust stance (i.e. flat refusal) on claims for...

Last October I noticed a small area of rust around the tailgate handle on my ML, this same area had rust, about two and a half years earlier and was dealt with under warranty. I had contacted the dealer several times regarding this, and in January the car was booked in to be inspected, I had...

Looking for some help for one of my friends. His wife was involved in an accident the other day where the other party drove through a t-junction and took her side on. The car is a total loss. Now he's just had his offer in from the insurance and it's £1500 less than what he owes on the...

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I have been cleaning the wheels on the new A-class, however noticed on one wheel that there is corrosion/ pitting on the inside of the wheel. Now I think the wheel has had a face refurb at some point in its 2yrs years. What are the chances of warranty...

I need some advice on a claim that just won't go away. In 2008 a car changed lanes on a roundabout and side-swiped me. Despite admitting liability at the time, the driver (or their insurance company) then claimed it was my fault. I got a lot of really good advice from forum members at the...

Hi, Just had a phone call about my warranty claim for minor wheel arch rusting (at the paint blistering stage, no rust visible yet) and they have approved the driver side arches, but not the passenger side due to paint thickness differences, suggesting work has been done in the past. I'm not...

I need some help deciding the best course of action. I have one of the most unlucky A170 CDI Y2000 on this planet. A few days ago I had non-fault accident, when the other car damaged my right passenger door, and did some minor damage to the rear wing and alloys. The frame is fine, so the...

Folks, would appreciate your views 9.30am this morning proceeding down the main high st in down town Devizes when from a side street guy driving a peugeot 806 continues out and hits me on the near side rear wheel and then scrapes along the top of the bumper and bottom of the body panel. Nett...

I have a friend who managed to write his less-than-a-year-old car off during the icy snap (some of you may have seen the pic in the "Guess the car competition" thread). Anyway now the insurer have come back and said they need to see the service book. This has given him some cause for concern...

hi guys my dads having a few issues with his insurance company. to cut it short his existing company have put a claim on his car which did not occur and now the new company wants him to pay a premium for the claim that did not happen. what can he do to have the claim takin off as his...
