Insurance Companies

On Tuesday last week Hannah had a minor car accident. She went into the back of another car while changing lanes.

The most damage was probably to her confidence. The car's damage was mostly cosmetic.

So of the car goes to get repaired courtesy of my insurer. For the last few days I have been under the impression that the cost of repair was £2800 and that it would be completed by the 28th.

In the mean time I would get a courtesy car.

Like hell I will!!

I got a phone call from an assessor this morning, he has decided that a car that has cosmetic damage will be written off! Why because the cost of repair has somehow jumped to £3635! More than the car is worth by just £3 apparently.

So no courtesy car then. Train tickets galore.

Oh well at least Hannah gets a nice fat cheque in the post.
