    I didn't suggest you bought a new car. I simply asked if your policy was fully comp, and if so, why pay out more per year in insurance than the vehicle is worth? If you only have TPFT cover, then your price is even more incredible.

    You do know, that in a lot of cases, fully comp costs less that TP, right?

    I'll concede that I was wrong to assume that the OP had fabricated the story, and I apologise for doing so. However, the OP's account was and still is riddled with inconsistencies and holes. Trolling is not the right word to describe the OP's posts, but it is a waste of people's time when the original account is lacking in what turns out to be pertinent information and resembles a fictitious situation as a result. What do people hope to gain from posting an incomplete and biased account which favours their version of events? Do they just want a "there, there" reassurance that they're in the right and the nasty insurance company are being terribly unfair? How does that help them?

    Ditto that. I also called BS on the story and I was wrong, but as you say; the first post was so muddled it was hard to see otherwise.
    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    I too suspected a troll, and am happy to apologise for that.

    In fairness to the OP, although his initial story was musleading, it can be difficult for "non-experts" to know which information is relevant. Long rambling accounts with too much extraneous info can also discourage helpers.
