    Maybe you'd get some more credibility if you first explained the alter ego?
  • I seem to remember a thread on here a few weeks ago from someone who had a claim turned down under similar circumstances. Can't remember the particulars.

    EDIT: Here it is...

    Sums it up nicely.

    There is no alter ego Quentin.

    You were wrong on this and wrong on Ford Accident Management re the referral fee issue. Suggesting that people should be seeking to get "cashback" for their injury claims is not a stance I am comfortable with. Others may or may not agree with me.

    What is it with you that you attempt to stifle any new and useful contribution with ad-hominem attacks rather than coming up with anything useful?

    I'm not clear whether you have an agenda or are you just a saddie who hangs around here all day because you have no "real-life" useful function.

    Nothing wrong with that and each to his own but I'm not sure there is much to be gained for anyone else in the forum by your attacking any post I might make - especially when you can't get your facts straight or your advice right.

    Perhaps if you explained about your great support here for LBC, and the post elsewhere from LBC using murdomaguire as her boardname you would get some credibility?

    Quentin you are acting like an idiot. I don't think anyone (including me) reading this thread knows where you are coming from.

    All I know is that you said that insurers refusing to indemnify on leased cars was "nonsense" when this is demonstrably the case, not just on the evidence I provided but on the other thread from MSE where the eSure claimant had precisely the same experience.

    I don't think ad-hominem attacks (on me or others) have any place in most UK forums so why don't you hop off over the hill and only contribute when either you:

    a) have something useful to say; or
    b) have a money-saving contribution

    Best wishes

    Where did I say that??

    In fact I replied to another's post, filling him in on your history here:
    Murdomaguire is a troll who comes here from time to time spouting nonsense.

    It seems to be some revenge for the short shrift given when using an alter ego for some self promotion! We know who "he" really is.

    We shouldn't feed trolls.

    But why do you bother coming back?

    Last time you told us:
    Lucy Bonham Carter is not difficult to find. She does not post anonymously.

    I am a lawyer who works for an insurance company. I am also not difficult to find.

    Unfortunately Money Saving Expert seems to have succumbed to publishing bogus and fraudulent posts along with a shameful level of abuse on a public forum.

    Furthermore Money Saving Expert (the brand, rather than the forum) seems to have compounded the libel by removing any posts which challenges any view which contradicts this position or defend the reputation of the client.

    This case is now likely to go legal but the reputation of Miss Bonham Carter and her detractors will be likely to be taken into consideration.

    My own view is that Lucy has behaved entirely honourably throughout whereas others have not.

    Strange you want to return when you previously threatened to go "legal"??

    And you still ignore the question about your alter ego as LBC!!

    There is no trolling behaviour here except yours Quentin.

    I have continually stuck to the point - or attempted to stick to the point - that some insurers will refuse to cover leased cars and substantiated this with an example and been supported by others - while you have indulged in personal attacks that have added nothing to anything save to feed your personal ego.

    I've been told that 3rd party european cover is included in all UK insurance policies by law anyway, so if that is the case you cannot buy a policy without this cover.

    Unless the european cover is fully comp, I don't think comparison sites should include the likes of Hastings for policies that include europe.

    Russ

    Sorry, yeah I meant an upgrade to Comp cover which is what the OP seems to be after.
