Warning about Animal Friends Insurance
Just discovered this and seems worth a warning in case anyone does a search for this company "Animal Friends". It seems absolutely amazing to me that none of their policies, including 'Accidents Only', cover claims made to emergency vets out of hours that are non-life threatening, no matter how bad the injury. And they…

Car insurance claim
This is a strange one so bear with. I had a car accident recently with the authorities stating it's likely to be deemed my fault.

Life Insurance...Obesity!
I'm trying to get life insurance and am getting turned down everywhere! I'm guessing it's because I am 20 stone as I am 28, never smoked and only work part time in retail. My partner has it, and he serves in the Royal Navy and puts his life on the line daily yet I can't seem to get it :rotfl:? I know it's because of my…

They couldn't have owned it more than two months, as the phone's release date was only a few days before May. However, due to the condition of the phone, I highly doubt they'd owned it for more than a few weeks…

Just a word to the wise, ensure you include legal cover! This year I decided to cheap out and purchase third party fire & theft. No bells or whistles. Recently on the M8, I was behind a bus when suddenly its wing mirror falls off! The wing mirror hits the front of the car and rolled under it. The mirror dented my…

Insurer changed my claim from non-fault to fault, invalidating my NCB.
Some general advice required on whether my insurer (a company under Adrian Flux) have any right to do the following. I've tried to shorten it down as much as possible and not include any identifiable information so hopefully it makes sense.
