My grandad had an accident in his car a few weeks back and the insurance company has told them they have written the car off without going into to much detail. My question is can the insurance company write off your car while you are still driving it and retain all of the documents? as we have found a body shop that will repair it and not wite it off but the assessor said we cannot as it has already been written off. How can this be? Is the assessor talking shit
this happened to my mate last month, driving his v reg citroen zantia the bonnet fliped up at 60, dent in roof, broken screne and new bonnet needed. he put in a claim to fix the car and they wrote it off
anyway, what you need to do is contact VOSA and explain to them, they will check the car, and if theyre happy they and un-write it off. as long as you havnt taken a settlement fron insurance, if you have you will need to buy it back from them.
when a woman pulled out on me on a 60mph road, and wrote off my wifes pug, after the police had been we dragged the car 2 miles home with the landy, as once its on a tow truck its basically not ur car anymore. was funny after the first mile as the the front nearside tyre was locked. the whole road was tyre smoke and metal sparks for the last mile
anyway i got £2500 from her insurance co and as i dragged the car home i still owned it and i broke the engine/ g box and a few other unbroken bits and made another £300. car was only worth £1k max
