How long to wait?

Just a quick query, I was burgled in Feb, claim went in 2 days later with Norwich Union for laptop, jewellery, mobile, camera, MP3 player, DVDs, CDs and games!

I got the laptop, jewellery, mobile, camera and MP3 player replaced within 2 months but I'm still waiting for the DVDs, CDs and games, I've phoned IVAL (the people dealing with it) and keep being told that they're awaiting 3 DVDs and they can't get 1 DVD so they're sending me a voucher.

I'm quite an impatient person anyway but is it normal to wait this long? Should I keep bugging them or should I just wait patiently and hope they sort me out soon?

  • Hi
    I'd be happy to look into this for you, I agree, it seems a fairly long time to wait, do you want to email some details of your claim reference to me?

    I'll be taking you up on that offer Becca, Swinton was packed when I went into town and I didn't fancy hanging around. I'm just off to walk my mutt then I'll get an email off to you!

    Thanks again.

    Becca, can I just say thank you so much for your help, I have just received a call from IVAL who have apologised for the long wait and my items should be with me Wed or Thurs next week!

    Thank you so much, you're a star! :T
