ok BIL is having issues with elephant

 

he had a small car accident on around 2 months ago where he slid off road and hit a wall

 

the owner of the wall has stated he wont be claiming off the insurance as it barely scratched it

 

as he was 3rd part he paid for recovery and the fact the cars written off himself

 

he has since cancelled the insurance

 

they have written to him stating that they wanted £670 within 7 days or they would assign it to a debt collection agency

 

on ringing to find out why he was told a claim had been raised against the policy, but would not give details

 

they later relented and stated that it was the other driver, it was pointed out there was NO other driver

they then said there was no claim on the policy but they required the money incase someone did

 

they have then even later stated that he had 6 months leeway if no one claimed in this time there would be no charge

this has now been revoked and they again want the money instantly

 

intrestingly when they phoned to inform of this they went through all the policy details, what they wanted and why to someone whos not on the policy which im sure is a heafty breach of the DPA.....

 

so any advice?

 

ive banged off the ussually removal of implied access leter and informed them this also applies to any collectors they assign

as hes in his parents house and has no valuable property there (its at ours)

and he has no income apart from job seakers and owes us and other people approx £500 which is prior debts

Well technically Elephant are correct. If a claim event is reported to them, they are entitled to the full years premium. Remember that under the limitations act, potentially the wall owner, has up to 6 years to make the claim. If there was a windy period (not storm) and the wall fell down, their Home Insurers might not cover. The wall owner might then try to make a claim against the Car Insurers. Yes very difficult to pursue, but possible.

We could do with some help from you.

Ive been with Elephant for 4 years, and have had no problems..... i have missed the odd DD, but they just spread they payments over the year..... and on hearing hat some people go through with other companies, i say 10 out of 10 to elephant..... obviously never had to claim, o cant comment on that!
