Guys and Gals,I'm actaully in the middle of a claim with FBD myself and after getting a builders quote, civil engineer's report the 3rd party loss adjusters are still stonewalling me with a really low figure which will not cover the cost to reinstate.They will not even enter into debate with me over the damage, I have 2 leaking adjoining shower units which destroyed a ceiling directly beneath, the stud partition around the shower unit and the floor boards beneath the shower units themselves.We opened the claim in April '09 and remains open.Our insurance has come up for renewal again and they've increased our premium by €250 this year because we have a pending claim and we cannot move because we have an open claim
I'm now dealing with the ombudsman on the matter,FBD are going the same way as Quinn Insurance now but still have the high premiums.They used to be great to deal with, not any more I'm afraid.
