Re: MIBI
Hi rainyday,
No, I have nothing to fear. It just appears to me that there has been an agenda these past few years to call anyone making a claim a scammer. To me, the insurance industry sees nothing but a 'suspect claim'. Paranoia on their part, and probably paranoia on mine!! They have managed to push their agenda to the point where others do their investigating for them and leave them free to count their many millions......
My own insurance company sent a guy out to my house to investigate this crash after I reported it to them. If I had been at fault then they would have tried to get to the injured parties and offer them a few quid to settle immediately. They really don't want people going to solicitors.(I know the PIAB has done that for them anyway) It justs seems a bit unethical to me that if I was injured that some guy comes to my house to put pressure on me to settle. You don't get a chance to sort yourself out mentally and pysically. And, of course, this will reflect badly on you when they make it clear you weren't prepared to settle before going to a solicitor.....
Tiger,
Many thanks. 2 Years, wow!! I can't get/don't want a solicitor yet as I'm unsure whether this guy will produce insurance.(He told me he had none but told the cop he did) He has until next wednesday to produce. If he does, its grand because I can claim direct from his insurance. If not, I have to go to MIBI. I'm not going to be pushing for personal injuries, loss of earnings and out of pocket will do... In fairness to the guy, he hung around and took it on the chin. He could easily have legged it. He also apologised which means a lot to me personally.
