thanks, in the process of doing it now, the engineers confirmed faulty power supply.

Phoned the customer serice line who said write in with receipt

Bought a Samsung 40" LCD on 29th December 2006 for £899, from pcworld(put in here as pcworld thread is more pcs than tvs)

Recently it developed a fault where the relay would click but the tv would not turn on for a few minutes, gradually getting longer, then eventually failed to turn on at all.

Just heard from an independent engineer who confirmed that the Power supply had failed, and needs replacing at a cost of £166. (already paid £60 for inspection which will come off the bill)

They couldn't tell me what caused it other than it just failed, (no impact, AD or water damage).

What is the best course of action now, pay it and then chase DSGi for a refund, or take the estimate to them and chase them under the durability section of the SOGA?

Thanks in advance for any help

edit to add pcworld did not want to know about it when approached them before i had it inspected

once you have both statements post them up here or email them me if you like, ill check them out for you.

Flash Earth ...Google Local and Windows Live Local in Flash is handy for overhead photos of accident scenes, taking images from google maps and windows live

Pictures of the crash

Pictures of the roundabout showing the clear lane markings

Police advice - they would be happy to charge the other driver if we wished to go down this route

and if they cared to ask for it - CCTV footage.

 

If she was in the right lane for the direction she was going in, it would have been impossible for this crash to occur and with the direction my husband was going in it was impossible for him to be in the wrong lane.

 

He has seven years no claim bonus and drives over 90 miles a day to work and back and has a clean driving licence. When the crash occurred he was out driving his pride and joy sports car and was not going to be doing anything stupid like being in the wrong lane on a roundabout 2 miles from home which he drives everyday. Unlike the woman who crashed into him, who was in a strange place and had just missed her exit off the roundabout.

 

Just to rephrase again, the reason why I am annoyed is that there is no checking just assume after one conversation and we all know the saying about assuming things. If they invesigated and then found us at fault, then that would be different but taking this sloppy easy route is wrong.

ok, have her charged, Harsh but fair. It will help your case.

Ask to see a copy of her diagram and statement, if DL havent got it, then tell them to get it.

Obtain a copy of the cctv, if it costs you get a receipt.

Do a good diagram yourself, note where both cars were coming from and going to.

Who is the other person insured with?

I would get ICIs advice in writing, then reply stating that you will reimburse the cost of washing the car, and not pay for his attempted repairs. Might be better someone with legal background on this one.

If one of our customers bodges his repairs and makes it worse then claims, we would pay for the cost of the original repairs, but he would have to pay for any costs that he has caused.

direct line are well known for this, you get what you pay for. In the first case the damage is to the nsr quarter on a roundabout so it could back up her false claims that you turned across her, with no witnesses and her word against yours there isnt much else they can do really.

 

What I can't understand is why OP hasn't simply passed it to Motability insurance to pursue. The car is after all a lease car, and I fail to see why OP can't simply say to Motobality: Here's the details of the stewart, he has refused to cooperate, you deal with it. It is a fully comp insurance, so I don't see why any insured person, least of all a disabled one, should be doing their legwork!

I too wonder why you havent passed this on, I cant see you winning it tbh, you will lose your 75xs and your £200 good condition bonus which has nothing to do with NCB, the RSA Motability scheme does not give NCB at all, they will only issue a letter detailing how long you have been on the scheme and a list of accidents.

My son tonight (he's 15) brushed past the tail pipe of a blue corsa in Harry Tuffins at Churchstoke. He's got a burn about 3 incjes in diameter.

 

i should have taken the reg number but was too busy trying to get the lad home to have some treatment. what should I have done?

You should have made him look where he was going tbh. There was no negligence attached to the driver as your son walked into his stationary vehicle.

replied on your thread waynedear

The majority of the liability will rest with you, but there is case law with regards to parking on a bend, I will check when back in work for you. Can you draw a basic diagram and scan it in of the bend and position of the parked taxi?

You will lose your no claims bonus, but may be able to recover a percentage of your excess depending on case law and if your insurance is willing to fight it, (probably not)

Thanks.

14 days is up, still no sign of the missing statements, LBA about to be sent.

Just a quick note, they sent a letter asking for authorisation of payment, and then sent the statements, they made no note of manual intervention. And no other letters. Is this ok?

dpa sent 13/06/2006

prelim approach sent 20/07/2006

although they missed out 6 months of charges from 27/10/2000-03/05/2001

Have requested this info with the prelim approach.

Total so far £1169

I'll keep this updated.
