theres this one swanman posted the other night, you can see the fence in the background.

WTF......... there's like a dozen witnesses who saw the bloody thing.

The insurance chap should just go out to the place there should still be parts of the bike lying in the bushes.

And he could get the farmers number. The one whose Fence got taken out.

That bike is a write-off.

Hope that they pay out top-dollar.

Gotta love insurance companies... They are happy to take your hard earned money, for a service. A service which they then try their best to get out of honouring! Don't worry though, there's no way they can get out of it, but the fact they are clutching at straws makes me sick...

Well if there weren't so many liars and thieves in our world maybe insurance companies would honour their services more? Or maybe the IC's are just liars and thieves themselves anyway?? For all have sinned...

True, I know - and I didn't mean to impy otherwise. But, a better way to go about it would be to have their greasy, sleazy PI (

) go about his "business" without telling the people involed "we're investigating further, because we think you are lying and hopefully we'll get you to admit it with intimidation". They could investigate quietly, and present the findings accordingly.

PS: I wish I was Magnum

Except, a red R1 apposed to a Ferrari

Meh. Don't trust 'em myself. Especially medical/travel insurance.

My sister had a severe asthma attack after a chemical spill and had to be admitted to hospital in the States once, and they pretended that she didn't have insurance with them when the hospital rang up to check. She got kicked out of hospital- which, in her case could have been fatal if her friends hadn't taken her to another hospital, where she had to lie to get treatment.

In my case, I had cholera in the Chinese Himalays, and once I was able to stay conscious for more than 2 minutes, I rang the emergency med number on my insurance card. Got put on hold. For ages. Kept passing out, etc etc.
Then some secretary says "Why don't you just take immodium?" and hangs up.
Luckily a doctor happened to turn up in the village; tells me this is potentially fatal advice- your bowel can explode and you die in horrific pain. Cheers for that.
Anyway, I was lucky to be helped by kind people to get back to Hong Kong and catch a flight back to the U.K.; no thanks to them. One week, no liquids. Not good. And no, I never got any of my costs back from them.
Officially.

Well said Zed....

If it were your money JSG - would you not want to ratify the facts as well?

**John** · 21st May 2005, 12:41

Got to remeber the effort they go to get out of a claim, I know from experience on two accounts, not as a whole but a majority are sneaky guys/gals really keen to get out of making a pay out.

But in saying that I see where they are comming from in this case, although abit pedantic about it.
