DR ◣◢ Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 What gets me is how this client expects to claim twice on the frame... The only scenario would be to claim from insurance first and if they don't collect the frame for salvage then send it back to the supplier for warranty claim?
Plentipotential Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 My OP was a scenario of what's been expected of me. Will just trust that in a small town like this it will not become business as usual as this a high-profile-upstanding-christian-pillar of the community-type of guy. 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.
HappyMartin Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 It is theft. It is also disgusting that a person would put the OP in such a position. Totally disrespectful. I would never do this to my LBS. This guy just assumes the OP would join in with what is a crime.
JXV Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Yoh!! 6 pages in 5 hours. Hot topic. Crime in progress. OP you know what to do.
DIPSLICK Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Client has a one year old bike, frame breaks(cause unknown but probably due to fall), claims from insurance, claim is successfull. He also claims ito warranty - claim is successful. Also requested to add other items to the claim that could have been damaged but hardly warrants a claim(..I am uncomfortable with the state of affairs) but we push ahead(client is the boss), shifters and derailleurs and chain and cassette, tyres, almost a new bike now. Many stories like the one above.... Are we getting screwed by insurance companies because clients screwed them or is it the other way round? Is it right to get compensated twice for the same thing? To add on to the list of breakages and in the end, after being compensated more than fully still insist on getting the old parts and keep on using it for months to come... But , like I said the client is the boss...So you say "BUT WE PUSH Ahead"Correct me if I am wrong so you continued even when you knew what he wanted was wrong/illegal OR DID I MISS READ SOMETHING????
Flowta Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 So you say "BUT WE PUSH Ahead"Correct me if I am wrong so you continued even when you knew what he wanted was wrong/illegal OR DID I MISS READ SOMETHING????Read the rest of the thread
Paul Ruinaard Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 wow - and we complain what an immoral society we live in and how people are leaving the country because of it. It clearly irks you and you are morally perturbed. Act on your conscience.
velomonatiCT Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 What should bother you is the this high-profile-upstanding-christian-pillar of the community-type of guy ( ie the customer who rides with us ) who is quite happy to commit a crime and not the the LBS owner who is clearly morally perturbed .... that why he asked us what we think is right
Eddy Gordo Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Why complain about it now if you aready went ahead?Surely you could have approached the insurance before proceeding with the claim
DIPSLICK Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Why complain about it now if you aready went ahead?Surely you could have approached the insurance before proceeding with the claimThat's why I thought,,,,....???did I miss something
Eddy Gordo Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 That's why I thought,,,,....???did I miss somethingMaybe the Op can explain, but I think somthing went sour between the two
McD23 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 You willingly took the insurance pay out on the fame and the parts you thought he shouldn't be claiming on, and you didn't inform either manufacturer or insurer of the 'double' claim ...because the client is Boss...Nice cop out...possibly short sighted post when this post eventually winds it way back to either defrauded party you will be regretting this.. rightfully so.
DIPSLICK Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Mcd23That's how I read it but this thread seems to have a few contradictions
Eddy Gordo Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 To add on to the list of breakages and in the end, after being compensated more than fully still insist on getting the old parts and keep on using it for months to come... This is the part that got me. Op did you expect did to keep the old stuff?
DIPSLICK Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I will wait for clarity from the OPCLEARLY I AM NOT THE ONLY LOWER GRADE STUDENT HERE
