Kind of agree with you. This is how it goes. Depreciation cannot be a factor. Unless you supply like with like. Insurance are not there to pay you out. They are a business. Profit counts and they will spend 30 to save 20. I got this feeling very much from naked and hollard. But again you will consistently have good and bad. For and against. It seems like such a terrible business. They will literally employ people to not pay you. Ethics is not their forte.

I think this is it. You need to have an understanding from both sides. But I have never heard of an insurance company that does this. It also has so much interpretation from both sides. Very difficult situation in my opinion. I am still holding thumbs for the Op. I do understand his struggle though. As mentioned my experience with them was a nightmare.

Yes him. I was just checking with him if he was good to let people have his number. I actually found him here on the hub. I can absolutely say it is a top notch job. So he is happy to give quotes as far as I can see.

What a circus. We live and we learn.

No. Another chap in Muizenberg but his name has slipped my mind. Think he is the leather works guy in Mowbray. I think.

Guy did mine. Absolutely spectacular job. And I think reasonably priced too. Definitely prefer the leather. He covers over the old saddle.

Good luck. Sounds like things are happening at last.

Admin probably won't allow it. They have cleared many posts off this topic. But I do agree with you. Maybe because it are is Friday it will roll.

Once this ordeal is over you should find yourself a better company. Good luck with this one. I hear many bad stories about these guys. Hope you get sorted.

I have no vested interest in this case. I just personally think it is an insensitive comment. I have no bad will or agenda. The reason I deleted my comment is because this is an open forum and we are all allowed our own opinion. I am no one to tell him what he may think. So apologies to Shebeen.

I thought you insured your bike for what you thought its value was. New or second hand. A car gas a book value. You cannot insure it for what you think it is worth. Not necessarily new but what you would like to receive if something happens. Related to how much you would pay to insure it.

Indeed, yes. I had been dealing with them for 3 months as I stated. These guys are a whole new level of useless in my opinion. I went through it all before I got to them.

I may be wrong but his complaint is he hasn't heard anything. About anything.

I went to the ombudsman while my so called claim was in the process. You are allowed to have grievances I think. Naked are absolutely useless in my opinion. Personal experience. I feel for the OP as I know how worrying this gets. The ombudsman is not my lawyer versus theirs. It is a fair and amicable outcome of which after a month he does not have. He can also complain directly to hollard. It is in the naked t's&c's. Anyway good luck to him.

Let's hope he reads this post when he are is released. Or maybe you will get a lawyers letter. One of the two.

When are you getting your Private Investigators license? I cannot say how much I admire your constant involvement on bringing this person to justice. And thanks for keeping us all updated. I wonder if he has tried to sell any other inmates firewood in these cold conditions.

Insurance falls under one cover. Doesn't matter the product as far as I understand. If you feel you are not getting fair value then it is worth a shot. At worst they can tell you to go away 😂

Go to the ombudsman. It is a pain but I do believe they can be of assistance. Do not accept what you feel is not fair. As I said I did. Once you show them you are not prepared to settle for anything less than fair. Keep us posted.

I had my brand new Jimny with them. The car was hit in the street and the sump was somehow damaged and the oil drained out. They were informed of all of this on the claim. The engine was not started by me. They took the car. Gave it to some shady panel beaters in CT. They fixed the outside damage and they started the engine. Needles to say they destroy it. So it went to suzuki. After 3 months of them wasting my time and many many phone calls and emails they paid me out. They are absolutely terrible. I had to go to the Ombudsman. Both of those companies in my opinion are absolutely terrible. I am now back with outsurance. And happy so far.

Do you know where they arrested him?

I wonder how much he actually has taken from people. Well done to all involved on hopefully the beginning of a successful prosecution.

I think you can report that fb page. If you think it is not legitimate then report it. Maybe if enough people do then they will take it down.

I am certain he doesn't care about anyone but himself. Any deal he has made with anyone will undoubtedly be worthless. I hope the fil sees this before it is too late.
