Jaco-fiets Posted April 23, 2015 Share Because of stories like this that my insurance company does not want to cover my bikes for theft (any kind) because 1 of my bikes got stolen twice in 14 months. At the end of the day I feel like the criminal here and make no mistake they treat you like a criminal too Edited April 23, 2015 by Jaco-fiets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted April 23, 2015 Share If his intention was, as you described in your OP, to knowingly defraud the insurance company/bike importer, then he can be neither a Christian nor a pillar of the community type of guy. He is in fact, no better than a common thief.Oh pls! 99% of the imoral skelm people I know are Christians or proclaim to be TopFuel, CrankShaft, GoLefty!! and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day I feel like the criminal here and make no mistake they treat you like a criminal tooOr they hyper inflate the premium knowing that this type of thing occurs...and who pays...johnny honest. I know of someone that faked a theft to get the latest model...cut the frame up in into pieces afterwards and scooped the wheels / group / finishing kit. Needless to say we are not in contact anymore after his bragged about this(almost saw it as his right since he pays insurance for nothing in return...unbelievable. he saw it as model / tech insurance). We were insured at the same place, next day I cancelled my insurance and started doing the self-insurance thing till today. Just not prepared to contribute to this.

decibel Posted April 23, 2015 Share Sounds like criminal fraud, with the OP as an accomplice as he benefited through sale of services or margin on parts or through the expectation of future business from the same client, unless he reports it. Â This incident leaves me with the same feeling of injustice that I get when taxis drive up in the yellow lane - it's not a matter if life and death but it contributes to the world being an unjust place. If the OP refused to be part of this crime, the client would have gone elsewhere and this would have never made it to the forum. So I'm pleased the OP is clawing one back here for good vs evil and I'm pleased to see that most responses show forum members are the kind of people I want to hang around.

CrankShaft Posted April 23, 2015 Share Flipping hell! Here I am feeling guilty about claiming for my wife's phone stolen one week after she got it! I am the guy that had my bumper touched up at a friends panel shop so that I don't have to claim from another persons insurance. You have opened the door to hell and now the devil is dancing with you pal. Get out before you in even deeper ... Vangar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popit Posted April 23, 2015 Share Dipslick I agree with you on this one . Deed was done now the OP is remorseful .Maybe he did the insurance claim first , knowing he would get paid , then the client asked for the warranty claim . If I am correct , on the warranty claim the OP makes no money on the warranteed frame and parts , only on the labour . As per the original post this is very unclear as to whether the deal was done , or is about to be done !! Hope I am wrong and if so I will also apologise to OP .

American Flyers Posted April 23, 2015 Share I feel the insurance people are not doing their job properly because when someone wants to claim for new frame or bike, the insurance people did not collect it and they get put off with insurance because they claim far less than it is worth, so that person will try claim from bike agents...... The agents get frame and checked and replaced it. Now I understand why?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted April 23, 2015 Share interestingly enough I recently had hail damage  - broken tiles water into the roof space (old thick spongy ceiling boards) - 3 bedrooms, bathroom, lounge and dining room ceilings needed to be replaced and walls and ceiling painted. Total quote was a ridiculosly low 30k (including fixing the roof). Insurance still phoned the contractor to investigate insurance fraud to find out why the walls need to be painted...he quietly explained to them what happens when 100 years of dust comes tumbling down....but....they are on the ball...and why I use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
