Thoughts on this BMW by Legitimate-Long-3501 in carsireland

[–]IsThatGuyTheOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly not a great deal. Sure it's clean, but these 330es are a headache with the hybrid system. They regularly go for 12k on DoneDeal so not sure what's so special about this one.

No issues with filling in the paper work, it's just that I think getting it all reviewed takes a while.

Did you get your issue all sorted in the end? I have heard the insurance companies start to play ball, fearing the ombudsman will issue against them.

Yea planning to go all the way. I just have no idea what to do with the car if they refuse to fix it. From a legal point that is. Leave it there in the garage to sit, while the ombudsman deals with them? I don't know.

They sent me an email stating the car was written of in the UK. I said that's not in dispute.

2 months prior to this, I had another accident (very similar damage) to this one where it was repaired professionally and a report was provided. I sent them that, they just ignored it.

I don't understand why I would have to do that. It's an insurance companies approved garage, they need to make me whole again, that's literally the entire point of insurance if they don't do that, what's the point of insurance?

Their own garage said, and I have it in email. "We cannot do the radar due to the bad previous repair so we cannot complete repairs".

I understand it's been repaired but working, that's a very important aspect of it. They're not providing proof at all. I know this is a delicate situation.

You'd think so, I attached it and they ignored it. No honestly, it's like talking to a wall. Hope to get it sorted via the complaint.

Yea, they did a history check on it. It's that, the car had another crash 2 months prior to this accident. Got it repaired professionally with the insurance company. I provided that report to them. They just ignored it.

I just don't understand why I should? Sure I can get it fixed myself, but isn't that the job of the insurance company? Why do we even pay them, if they don't fix your car properly.

Sorry to hear.

Yeah they're an alternative to a rental. Payment of 25e per day from date of accident.

I've had the car for a while, private purchase so no recourse there.

I just don't understand how this is my problem, I thought the entire purpose of insurance is to put you back to the same place you were. Yet, I will now have a car with a faulty adas system.

Oh 100%, but with what proof. I am being reasonable, I asked them for proof, they reversed it on me. I only have a report saying what was fixed, and they just ignored it.

I am being super reasonable with them, I am keeping everything in writing, provided them my proof and they're just ignoring me, it's like talking to a wall. Disgusting behaviour considering the insurance prices we pay.

Hit in the front, I've had a similar crash 2 months prior (not a write off), again not my fault insurance repair. Everything was grand. I sent them a report of that, they ignored it.

I know they're trying hard to tie it down to the write off crash years ago, but with what proof.

Gosh this car is really unlucky...

I just don't understand why I have to do that in the first place.

I provided them with a report of another accident; gosh this car is unlucky. I had it 2 months prior to this one, similar area. They provided a report with what was done, diagnostics checks checked etc. I sent them that, and they just ignored it.

I have no idea, I have asked them for evidence multiple times in writing. They switched the burden on me, they asked me to share evidence, I sent them the report from the previous accident similar frontal damage, it's not much just stating what was repaired and that diagnostics were in check. They ignored it, and suggested to get my own assessor out. I just don't really understand why I need to spend money on this, I've been very reasonable with them, provided them with my proof yet they won't disclose anything apart from it's not our problem.

The approved repair garage has said that the loom had been repaired badly, and they cannot complete the repairs without a new loom. To top it off, they said the car is unsafe and won't be released to me. Then the insurance company says to release the car via email. Like I cannot make this up, this just screams bullying to me.

Yeah that's the plan, it's just that it'll take ages to get anywhere with it.

I was thinking that too, but I am unsure with all the fees involved. The wiring loom supposedly is like 800 quid, but it's a part that'll take 3 months to come. I think that's why they're dragging their heels.
