Beware....
Turbo Mini Forums

I bought a spare shell about 3 years ago - V5C, everything valid as far as I could tell, but did little with it apart from pulling out all the usefull bits.

You may be able to find the thread but my photobucket account seems to have screwed itself bigtime over the last couple of weeks.

But I got a letter today



I both eMailed and phoned her, after talking to her it seems like an insurance scam.

Beware if anything might be in your name from 3 years ago...

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

so what are they asking, the dude before you was involved in an accident with the vehicle and they want to come and see it now and wonder what state it was in when you bought it....

albeit why i might ad they care what condition it is in now?

No, I was confused to start with. The dood before seems to be claiming on his insurance while driving another car, which lots of policies allow.

I think they are saying that the policy was not valid as the car was not roadworthy. Which all policies require the car to be.

so he has got the mini insured fully comp with 3rd party cover on any other car, had a smash in 'any other car' and they won't pay out as the mini was off the road...?

I would tell the its nothing to do with me and tell them to go boil their heads,

I'd be tempted to tell them it was in fully functional road worthy condition ,
fucking insurance companies will pay out a 30K fake whiplash claim without much of a fight, but when you try claim for a non standard stolen stereo they say no chance,
i know what i'd like to think i would do,

For what it's worth, I let them view it - it was very clear they were trying to block a fraudulent claim and every fraudulent claim that people get away with increases the cost of insurance for the honest people.

It just took ages to arrange since my first post.

A couple of minutes of him looking and twenty minutes of chatting about cars/DVLA/insurance in general.

He told me that his job has changed noticably over the last few years from an occassional "possible" fraud to be investigated to over 1/3 of his work being fraud related ....

Wow!

I've never heard of anything this. I agree with both you and Fastcarl.

Society we appear to live in today!

My insurance companie paid out 6+ grand to a fraudulent claim, i tried and batteld my hardest but they just fuxking paid out, there was no damage to my car or the othe car at the time of the accident (pictures we taken by the other party my misses didnt have her phone on her). Informed the insurance company of what happend ect. Two weeks later they are claiming whiplash and 3k of damage to there car utter cunts. Managed to get all my no claims back last week and £300 compensation from them but still bull shit
