That's pretty lame. What provider are you with, if you don't mind us asking. I'd imagine youi are very specific, because that's what they advertise but I know with mine (just car) they just want to know where its parked most nights. Hope you can get it fixed cheaply and quickly.

understand you'd be a little angry at the moment - but any answers to our questions?

And this is why I don't go with budget direct, youi and the like. They are cheaper than AAMI, Just Cars etc, but when it comes time to claim they do everything they can to avoid paying out on claims. I would be going over my policy with a fine tooth comb and fighting them if I were you. Good luck.

If it is any consolation, i think everyone who has read these latest posts would not go near youi so you have probably denied them a few policies at the least. Suggest that to them the next time you talk to them.

Good luck with it and keep those mods coming.

I think I have answered all the questions if u have any questions regarding mods I have done on my car post them up again and I will try to answer them as best I can.

as for insurance I call and spoke to a manager mostly to complan about the **** service I received and wanted to see about getting my claim reviewed anyway the guy was sorry that I was treated wrong during the claim process and he said he cant give me a full claim due to my car not being parked where it was stated in the original contract. he asked if I had got any quotes to fix my car which I did this morning got 5 different quotes ranging from 600-1100 since its just a bumper and grill and bumper support that is damaged. after that he put me on hold for about 15mins he said after discussing with some other managers and claim people and they have agreed to send me a check for 500 as consolation for the disrespect and trauma I went through he said its a hard time having your car damaged and you having to pay for it. I thanked him for his service.

any will be putting the car in to get fixed on Monday or Tuesday

I still will be changing insurance company just so I don't have to deal with this again.

so will be ordering the aac bumper sag kit to help fix the gap I had all the time since I bought the car will also be ordering new number plates in black and blue to replace the old yellow plates.

so its a sort of a win but will still have to pay money to get it fixed but don't have to pay the full amount like I thought I would have to.

stay tuned people

Agreed, I wouldn't be driving anywhere like that. Try borrowing a car or ride to work or something. One week isn't that long to go without a car. On the plus side, at least all this insurance crap/damage will be behind you soon!
