    DoaM and CardinalWolsey are bang out of order in suggesting you committed arson and insurance fraud yourself. Don't let the minority put you off the majority.
    What? You are bang out of order to claim that I made any such suggestion at all! I did not! My only reply to the OP was post #2 ... my other replies were to the resident forum troublemaker. NONE of those posts suggest in ANY WAY AT ALL what you have inferred.

    Where did I suggest that?
    It's hard to read this any other way...
    1. Individual on a relatively young PCP deal loses job.
    2. Said individual's PCP'ed car is set fire to, for a total loss
    3. Individual does not want to re-finance.

    Occam's Razor
    ...but I'm sure we'd all be glad to hear any clarification.

    Again, hard to read this any other way...

    You can get insurance to cover yourself committing arson? Who knew!

    Well done ... :T
    Nice way to take a post completely out of context. It was quite a clearly tongue-in-cheek response to the post I quoted. Hardly my fault you're unable to see this.

    You say its hard to read it any other way - you've read three salient points and jumped to a conclusion. Not made up points, but points pulled from the OP's posts. If you've added 1+1+1 and come up with 5, will you be the only one? So the OP needs to be careful about the language they couch this in. Because if people on a public forum are reading more in to this, what will professional loss adjusters make of it?

    Well, no, I didn't take that from the OP's posts at all.

    I did, however, very clearly take it from your enumeration of them plus the pointer to Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is most likely to be true.

    It wasn't clear at all. Nor was Cardinal Wolsey's post.

    I believe people should say what they mean and mean what they say.

    What does a handshake and a gentleman's verbal agreement mean to you?
