well for those who know me...................As you know my car was written off as some stupid guy crashed into me, it took ages to find out what was happening. I eventually phoned the number my insurance com gave me and the guy was like " Sorry but there is no record of your car ever being here?" "What! U kiddin me on" So i had to phone the place that actuallly took my car away, the guy said "Ye we picked up your car on the 17th, well it was taken away on the 24th to be scrapped, your insurance company should have informed you about this" "Well they bloody well didn't" I said. "I still had stuff in the car that i wanted, like cd's and Mo's Alpine stereo (which he loved) Jades booster seat etc." I explained. " I suppose u could phone them up n ask if they had kept any of the stuff?" he said.
So he gave me the number, but the place was in Whitburn, which is absolutely miles away, by this time i had had enough i was absolutely fumming. First i can't find the car, then find out they scrapped it without telling me, assholes! So Mo spoke to them and found out they were about to scrap it but would manage to rescue the stuff, then he agreed to pay the postage for them to send the stuff to us. A few days later i realised i had just bought 6 months road tax and the disc was still on the car, luckily they sent that back as well. So more time goes by and i still hadn't heard how much his insurance were willing to give me for my car, Mo phoned my insurance and they said " We have been informed that you have already agreed a settlement" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
how much worse can this get, i was begining to think this must be a joke or something. Nobody had contacted me or written to me about any settlement, so we left it to them to sort it out.
Evenyually they phoned and said to Mo, "They have offered you £800 for the car" and Mo said no that was not acceptable as he was going to trade it in, so then they came back to us and said "They have offered £1400" and he said thats fine, which is brilliant since i only paid about £800 for the car in the first place YIPPIEE!
So now i have a nice new car, all lovely n shiny it's a Citreon C3, 2005 plate and it has only done 12000 miles, lovely!
