SORN Laid up insurance for cars all ages
Does anyone know of an insurance company who will insure laid up vehicles which aren't really old? I have a 54 plate Mercedes but had no luck with any of the insurers I've rung so far, they've all told me they only insure laid up vehicles over a certain age!? Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks, Leah

Is Rentokil insurance worth??
10 years ago we had a small area of woodworm infestation which Rentokil treated, although they never covered the gap in the floor. From them on, we have been paying them an insurance to cover woodboring insects JUST on the ground floor, the area they surveyed, costing 59 pounds a year. Since I am fed up of paying insurance…

Change of address payment
Does anyone or has anyone come across a payment because you have changed address? I was told by my Insurers that the premium may go up or down, which is to be expected, fair enough!

I live opposite a main junction and reversed out of my drive and nudged a blokes car. I've paid for my light to be repaired and told him to send me an invoice for his small amount of work (he told me the estimate was c.£200). This was in April 2011...I've received nothing. He rang a few weeks ago and said he was going to…

I had a accident last year when my car was parked and somebody hit into the rear of the vehicle. I recorded him on my camera phone saying he would pay me £100.

Home insurance claim nightmare, looking for advice
We were burgled back in the Spring. No sign of forced entry. We figured they either jimmied both our front door locks somehow without causing any damage, stole a key (cleaner perhaps?), or entered via the cellar window while were in the house and hid there waiting for us to go out. Tens of thousands of pounds of personal…
