Can I cancel car insurance claim to have my car repaired?
Options
I was in an accident we are awaiting engineer's report for over 3 weeks now on my car. Am I legally allowed to cancel the claim on my car and instruct my car insurance engineer not to categorise my car cat c/d etc. Which will allow me to sort the car out myself as I'm a qualified mechanic to trade. I couldn't care less about a payout for repair costs as this company (1st central) are an absolute nightmare to deal with and I need the car back on the road ASAP.

You can cancel the claim if you want to.

wongataa said:You can cancel the claim if you want to.It will however show on your record - You are required to inform the insurers of any accidents even if you do not make a claim.Not everybody does of course. Scrape the gatepost for example and just get it repaired as cheaper than excess and losing NCD.

I know I can cancel my claim but will that cancel out having the car categorised too? It's not been categorised yet0

If they do not inspect it I do not see how they can.When you scrape the gatepost even if you tell them but do not make a claim they have no idea of just how major or minor is the scrape/damage.Of course others may think/say different0
