Hi,
I wonder if anyone is able to give some advice? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
So my daughter bought a lovely 67 plate Fiat 595 Abarth auto for £14000 from Available Car. It was bought on PCP which she was happy with. All that side of things are fine.
She has it fully comprehensive insured through Sheila’s Wheels. The car was purchased Feb this year.
Monday last week while at work in centre of Birmingham the car was stolen and has still not been recovered. My daughter contacted Police and insurance and gave true honest details.
She has today had the quote back from the insurance and have quoted her £10600 and have said that she will see nothing as they will only deal with the company who the PCP is with. The company is Santander.
She has told them that the price they have given her does does not accept and wants another valuation, and she has been told no as she does not own the car and that it’s tough and she will have to start a fresh.
My question is that does this sound right the way the insurance have dealt with my daughter and the poor quote given irrespective of if she owns the car or not.
We have contacted the Financial Ombudsman Service and have put a claim in through them to look into the compliant against Sheila’s Wheels.
Many Thanks for reading.
