Had my back doors smashed in..

[Olican]

..first time honestly! A lorry reversed into my parked van, driver accepted responsibility. No problem, doors still close van drives , nothing major. It's an old van but has good mileage. Honest value about £2400. The insurers have sent an assessor out and the report is.....Total Loss [emoji15] yup a write off for 2 dents on my back doors phnarr phnarr

 

[A.plasterer]

Lol that's mental

 

[A.plasterer]

Nobody's gonna believe it's yer first time did you have them trapped in somewhere

 

[keithuk]

You keep the van and they send you the money Oli ,still a pain in the arse (sorry should not have said that !)

 

[Jgreenplastering]

Can't you look for some on eBay etc or buy a scraper and use the doors?

At your age probably deserve to treat yourself to brand SPANKING new one

Maybe it was a sign from the gods

Here's one of them Earlier making his escape.

Doesn't anyone think those dents might pull out? I've seen worse that's been repaired. Buy it back, and pimp it like the A team

 

[Deleted member 29624]

Someone once told me about using a hair dryer and dry ice for popping out dents....wouldnt make it perfect but shame to get rid if reliable and good mileage

 

[Jurek]

wont the insurance go up because its classed as a write off?

have you got whiplash? or had to take time off work because of the trauma?

some old fella crashed into the missus when she was pregnant a few years back. she got whiplash and we all went to crete with the money. not the old fella, just the family. when we got to the hotel they gave us all inclusive wristbands instead of half board wristbands and we lived like kings. the plastering gods had blessed us that year

 

[Dropsalot]

Have you recently had an accident that was not your fault???........ Where there's blame there's a claim

Fair enough, just remember hearing it, at least I didnt just make it up

 

[zolco]

I had a similar situation in April, cold callers still trying to get me to claim on everything possible

4 friend of mine whiplash claims here. One 40k others 24k, 22k and 18k. Crazy tge payouts here. Another mates da has had------ and your not going to believe this when I say it but it's true, he's had 17 whiplash claims. One unlucky f**k*r or should I say, one lucky b*****d lol.

My car was hit with my misses in it along with my 16yr old kid. Got offered 2 options, take full money or 3/4 money and fix car up. Took the latter and was a few k up. Car is now a cat-c and didn't affect insurance.

We're just waiting on the misses claim coming just after xmass. Hoping upwards of 20. The kid will be getting a nice sum for her college fund 2 years for her injuries.

 

[Jurek]

Jesus. Big settlements them. Sounds like Better Call Saul was dealing with it. Would hate to be the one who crashed into him.
