Old car rip off?
Just a quick warning if you make a decision (often made in haste over the phone) to allow your car to be towed to a 'local repair specialist'. My wife's car was broken into and both door locks broken. On reporting the claim to e-sure, the clerk very obligingly said that he would arrange for the car to be collected in the…

RBS Royalties & Homeserve
Hi there, I posted this in the Rants bit but I thought it might be more appropriate here as it concerns emergency cover which I believe is classed as a form of home insurance by RBS. So, I had a problem with my boiler and I used my RBS Royalties Emergency Cover to sort it. Unfortunately the heating engineers were cowboys…

AXA & Revenue services of Canada BC
Hi there Just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience. In June 2007 on my honeymoon I was taken ill on the rocky mountaineer and taken off the train by ambulance. They would not treat me at the hospital until 600 dollars had been removed from my hubby's credit card. On returning home there was a bit of a delay…

Whilst overseas I was burgled. The thieves forced entry to the the house causing about £2k worth of damage and stealing about £3k worth of electrical goods. The police were called by a neighbour, and they pursued (and lost) the burglars. You would think this would be a pretty straight-forward claim. 4 months later and my…
