Statute of Limitations Re. Insurance Claims - Loss Adjusters Dragging Out Claim

[4321]

I had some building/redecoration work done several years ago which was covered by the insurance company.

 

There were issues with the work and eventually, after a lot of dragging out, the loss adjusters asked me to provide 3 quotes to get the repair work done.

 

I provided these but the loss adjusters have been dragging it out again, not replying at first and eventually saying they will get back to me "soon".

I fear they may be trying to drag it out so that the statute of limitation period will pass and I will not be able to take legal action against them.

 

Could anyone please advise what the law is around this (e.g. does the statute of limitations still come into play if a claim is still current?)?

 

Any advice on how to proceed with the claim gratefully received.

cant be SB'd if they or their client have acknowledged an issue in writing.

 

the process is the same as say taking a courier to court or a builder or a car seller.

 

if you type in evri and read a few court claim threads its the same.

 

complaint letter

letter of claim

court claim.

 

but don't bluff ever.

You should send written complaint to the Insurance companies head of claims and send a copy to loss adjusters. Advise that regrettably you will be looking to issue County Court claim, due to loss adjusters lack of performance.

 

When you issue any claim, it will be against the Insurance company you had the contract with.

In terms of timescales, you have simply been skirting around in generalities.

How about a bullet pointed chronology so we can see exactly the chain of events in their proper context.

That would help
