Car Insurance Claim - Think Ive made a mistake
OK, went into the back of someone a while ago, it was just a nudge but enough to put a pea sized dent in his rear bumper so I cant blame him for claiming really. The problem is that I think that I may have told a white lie on the form when applying for my insurance. I think I put that I was employed when I was actually…

Wrongly refused contents insurance due to 'flood risk'
Hello I live in a second floor flat in a block of flats next to a river that has a history of flooding. The property itself has never been affected by flooding – indeed given its position on the second floor there'd have to be a flood of Biblical proportions for us and our contents to be affected.
