    I still remember my car getting its front suspension and 1 tyre destroyed by some loon. The loss adjusters said the old tyre was 50% worn so they took £35 off a £3500 claim!

      Do you have copies? Have everything in front of you. Don't agree to anything without thinking about it overnight.

      Imagine recruitment agents without the integrity but with numeracy skills.

        Loss adjuster came the other week and was pretty straight forward, only now certain valuations have been passed off to IVAL.

        Have done some reading and most of it is not good, low spec replacements offered, comet vouchers etc...

        It takes me months to decide when I buy tech kit, be that laptops, cameras etc... not looking for the promptest replacement, I want the quality that I paid for in the first place.

        Has any one had any dealings with IVAL? and what were they like to deal with.

        Also heard that they source through companies that give them a discount although the value off the claim value is full price. e.g. they source a laptop for £750 and then knock the RRP off the claim value so looks like they spent £1000.
        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
