Heads-up on Ch4 tonight - Car Insurance....
« on: January 07, 2013, 05:35:10 pm »
.
8:00pm Ch4 "Secrets of Your Car Insurance" - Dispatches investigation. Might be interesting although Dispatches aren't always very objective and merely set out to prove a bias the programme maker has.

Watched this earlier - if to be believed, that was pretty horrendous about the ex-bodyshop guy having to fight the insurance co to pay to fit a side impact beam in a car door!

I already knew about the 2 different rates for Fault and Non fault claims at Bodyshops, my best mates mum is good friends with a guy who owns a large accident repair place, was not aware of the paint scam tho and all the kickbacks.

Hopefully the OFT will sort this all out in 2014.

£21/hr for fault claims and £40/hr for Non fault claims, takes the piss a bit.
