How disgusting! This is why people have insurance in the first place! So, they are indirectly saying that "if you claim we'll penalize you by voiding your NCB and we won't bother pursuing it from 3rd party".

Who is your insurer by the way?

I don't think this is what they meant, at the time I think, having never had to claim before this is how we interpretted (sp) it. As others have said to us since this is standard practice and since we contacted them again both her insurer and autoreplace (who will try to recover other costs not covered by the insurance) have been good and kept us in the loop as to what is going on. Hopefully it shouldn't take too long to sort out.

Thanks to people on here we have learnt quite a bit very quickly, but one of the (many) things I didn't realise before now was what the legal cover option on car insurance was for, I thought everything was covered with fully comp.

Funnily enough my insurance quotes that I got last month when I renewed went from £155 (with quidco) to 850 ish for my 2 year old Fabia VRS!

Although when I was a young man I had an Astra Gte 16v (worth £3500) and my insurance at 22 with 3 years no claims ranged from £780 to £2750 for the year.
It just shows it does pay to shop around!
