insurance related help (claim)

[Hanuman]

rite me car was on 3rd party fire n theft covered for 2k car is easily worth 1700-2k iv put the claim on hold while i get a few quotes on it independent, driver side was burnt and 2 pannels kicked and a cracked windscreen

havnt spoke to much with insurance as they *** me off some reason it takes 3 differenct numbers and companies to give my details to just wondering if its a write off how long does it normally take -- valuatation beforei put the claim on hold they were gonna take the car within a day - how long till the pay out ect, also read my premiums dont go up if i make a claim until end of 12months, but am i able to swap insurance ie make a claim on this have 4months remainin on insurance and swap that over to say a fiesta for the last 4 months

despppperate for a car and aint got a penny for it or able to get a penny, sepcially with xmas so wondering how long it takes maybe to bby another car for 2k on credit card and pay it off (obviously when im aware ill get about 2 k for the car)

cheers guys im in depserate need a of advice ect

Im with churchill and they took about 3 weeks from writing offm y car to sending the cheque. Very good service in my opinion.

Also as far as im aware it isnt like your insurance so you can change cars on existing policy its insurance for that car i.e you gotta take out a new policy on the new car and not just change cars. Well thats what churchill said to me when i rang and asked about upping my 1.1 to a 1.4 they said i gotta take a new policy not jus change cars on my existing.

im with admiral , you can change cars whenever u like , u just ring them up and they update your policy (you may have to pay if the premium goes up)

I was in a crash (in mates car) back in November 2005 my mate(driver) got his money in june i think and i got mine a couple of months later. It normally takes ages and can take up to 12 months !

i work in insurance, cant see how legally they can take so long, you have 28days to resolve an insurance complaint before an indepedent loss adjuster can get involved or FSA ijus cant see how they can get away with it, oh well looks like ill need to get another loan out when i jus got a loan out for the car LOVELY
