blog To whom it may concern.
I am unable to source any quotes pertaining to the value of my car due to the scarcity of similar models on the market in my locality. Also, local VW dealers are reluctant to provide me with estimations as they are unable to view the condition of the car themselves. I am no longer prepared to run around doing things that I pay you to do. You suggest that I furnish you with adverts to prove that a car of that age is worth £450 . Why don’t you provide me with adverts showing that I can replace it for the £250 that you think its worth?.....no?....that’s right, it is impossible.

My car was insured for £500. It was a 1.6 Volkswagen Golf, it was 17yrs old. It had a new MOT. The mileage , which you suggest is excessive, is still only average for the age of the car. It was in reasonable condition for the year and reliable.

The protagonist of this accident was driving a works van…he rear ended me while I was stationary and about to turn right on an open road with a 40MPH limit …all his fault. He will walk from this absolutely scot free and I will be without the means to replace my car…and that is all I am reasonably asking for, the .means to replace like with like. Meanwhile, I return your cheque to you which you sent to me despite me turning down the offer over the phone and I await your further thoughts on the situation.

Truly,

Katherine Powell.

As you can see, the saga continues...

Oh dear - I am not sure about the legal situation in the UK. But in Germany the insurance company of the one who caused the accidents has to pay a layer for the one who has the damage. I do remember your last blog, but these insurance companies are so tricky and completely lacking any moral - with out having a layer you are completely lost.
