Uk assist

The driver of the other vehicle has had a personal injury payment and they say anyone in my car can claim aswell even though no one was recorded as being hurt. I challenged this claim culture and the guy said if I didn't claim my insurance company…

Only a few things to insure...
I'm currently working away from home, and rent a flat which I live in during the week. The flat is furnished, but I have things like a laptop and a decent TV there, but if you added up everything that's mine, it wouldn't come to more than about £5000 at the outside. I'm trying to get insurance though, and I'm getting silly…

Insurance to cover maternity pay sortfall?
Is there such a thing as an insurance to cover the difference between wages and the statutory maternity pay? I am about to start IVF and I'm worried about not being able to afford to have over 6 months maternity off as the drop in wages is too great with all the payments I have to make at present. As we all know there…

Rediculous Car insurance.. After a claim or..?
Long story short last May my VW Golf GTi was stolen and not recovered so I made a claim. The policy (was with Highways, LV group - taken out through the broker Brentacre) was only a few months old and I had already paid for the year and wouldn't get a refund. So it was more financially viable to put my replacement car on…

Car insurance company and shirking of "legal protection"
Currently trying to resolve a situation for my dad, who's not well anyway and doesn't need any additional stress.

Making a claim through car insurance
On the 20 April 2011 a car reversing down a one way street hit the front of my car. I was turning the last corner of the square when I noticed a car at the first corner with its reverse light on.
