I wish to make a complaint

I'm with AMI for bikes, they took a bit of convincing (a visit to the manager with a well-reasoned case) but htey have insured me for very reasonable premiums and from first-hand stories i hear, they pay out reasonably promptly and with little hassle.

Have you been in and explained this to the manager? When you get a no from the lady at the desk, ask politely to speak to the manager. Then tell him what your case is, and you ought to get paid out....

It's easier if you think of it in terms of selling something second hand...you'll almost never get what you originally paid for the item.

yup... read that myself... now tell me how my prescription glasses have any resale value as they are custom made to suit my eyes???????

No worries, I got a great new pair of speccies out of it.
