Hi All,
I need some advice as to what could happen and what I need to do. Basically I live in a properrty situated on a hill. I have a lack of parking space and have to park my car on the side of the road in front of the house. The road is quite steep.
On friday night my car was vandalised and taken away by police to a recovery compound for them to conduct their usual crime nvestigation.
I called my insurane company, explained the situatin and they in turn are dealing with the claim etc. I was due to be getting a courtesy car in the next few days whilst the damage etc is being assessed. However, and I kid not, the car recovery place where my car is being held underwent an arson attack by thugs last night and all the cars being held on their premises have been scorched to a shell. So my vehicle is possibly destroyed. I am yet to receive confrmation of that though.
My questions are...
1. what would happen in terms of the claim I have already made? Could the claim be made void as I am assuming the car recovery place would mak a claim of their own?
2. will I still get a courtesy car?
3. I have finance on the car so in the event that it is destroyed, not of my own doing, would I still be liable o pay th loan etc?
I am rathe concerned as worse case scenario is i end up withno insurance assistance, no car and having to pay car finance for a vehicle I do not own!!
