Today I got a call to tell me my car was ready. I've gone to collect it, and this time they've got it right -- so now I'm back in my own car, which has been fixed properly.
Hurrah!
I had complained -- firstly about the fact that both the repair yard (under long-term contract to the insurers) and the insurers themselves had been crap at keeping me informed about what was going on and calling back when I phoned them to chase, and secondly about the fact that I had to do all the phoning around and chasing up, rather than relying on the insurers to do so.
Now I have a letter from my insurers:
- 21st February 2008
Dear Mr Spencer
I am writing to acknowledge your recent complaint.
This matter is being taken very seriously and is currently being investigated by $NAME. Immediate attention is being given to this matter and you will hear from us shortly.
Yours sincerely
So that's good. My insurance is due for renewal in September -- it'll be good to go with an insurer who has satisfied customers.
