Thread: Motor Insurance Claim

Hi guys, new to this forum. Read some posts and this seems to be the place to be =D, now I’ve done some brown nosing I’ll start with my current dilemma lol:

16/06/2007
Car incident happened, went off the road into a Ballard

19/06/2007
Informed by garage that the repair bill would be £6500 (deffo write off)

20/06/2007
Informed by insurance company (Endsleigh) that an independent engineer will be estimating the car and confirming if it is a total loss.

I have an excess of £800 and full comp on my mother's policy.

I need to weigh up my options but it looks to me like I will be stripping the car and selling for parts as I have spend £1000s on repairs etc.

I have put the engineer on hold thought the insurance for the moment until I am clear what I need to do.

I do not want my mother's no claims to be affected so I can be on her policy again in the future.

Does anybody have any wisdom or ideas to share with me?


Thanks for taking the time to read this =)

Are you the main driver of the vehicle that has been written off???

If so, I recommend you withdraw the claim.

If you are the main driver of the vehicle you really need to insure in your own name.

No I'm not the main driver, my Mother is the policy holder
