alex3659 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) All the claims will be above £750 so will have to have a claims adjuster goto every property involved. What's in the property at the time that may or may not have been in the property at the time of the surge is a different matter.  I used to do that job for years I know the score. I also know that I didn't want all my time clogged up in court cases even when I knew I was being scammed.

Â Would you say that in a mass case like this that the Insurer's will pretty much just pay up and replace stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â They prefer you to purchase the goods from someone of their choice now. Few people know you can argue this point and win, however they will drag it on and on.

Â They may try to drag it on, but when it comes to lots of young families with no way to cook food / store food or wash clothes I think they may have to hurry up a bit or face a backlash in some way.

Â That is where the shop of their choice comes into it. Â Maybe it will be the electricity suppliers that pay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensiblade Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 People I know have been told that it is down to each person to claim from their own insurers as is is Theft. Â Just looked out of my kitchen window and it's pretty much pitch black down the rest of the estate and police are everywhere including the helicopter.

selphie Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 They will have to produce a 42" Plasma TV that is burnt out. To be able to claim on their insurance. The insurance companies are not that gullible.  I have a fried 42" plasma i'm willing to rent out a £50 a go!!!!  lol:hihi::hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect their will be some pushing and tugging with this one. Is the supply still off then?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensiblade Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 I've been told the street lights are coming back on. But they removed everyone's main fuses and have to replace them all before they can switch the residential power back on. I assume they will do this one block/street at a time.  My Friends insurers did tell her she could claim for all meals eaten out during the time it takes to replace her cooking equipment @ £15 a head. Which is nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerXIII Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I live in the affected area near the ambulance station and the electricians have just been round to put mine back on in the last few minutes =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
