    NFU Mutual are Refusing Us a New Specification, But Why?

    25 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    This is the only document which would show 'once and for all' what needs to be done to our cottage. Why are they still refusing us a new specification to make sure it's done properly.

    First Investigations: NFU Insurance Claim 3

    23 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    On 14 November, the first investigations began. The loss adjuster's visit was quite worrying. It is, after all, a Loss Adjuster's job to save insurance companies from paying out if they can.

    16 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    Finding the Hole: NFU Insurance Claim Timeline 1

    12 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    It’s time to tell the whole story from start to finish (if it ever does!). From the day I found the hole to now. I hope it will be a warning to others so that they don’t end up like me. I don’t really think I could have done anything differently, but then again, I was never in control. The problem was, that we put our trust in a very expensive insurance policy from what we thought was the best insurance company for a house like ours, and I felt safe. But over the last three years, safe is something I have never felt. I have been threatened, bullied and…

    9 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    Every reply we've had from NFU Mutual in response to our complaint, says two things. 1. We asked for a cash settlement (which we didn't!) and 2. We should have had their builders back. But the builders they provided weren't qualified to do the work.

    Our Response to the Insulting Reply to Our Complaint

    8 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    You may have already read the complaint response from the Group Chief Executive and my reactions in my following post. This took me four days to write and I’m really happy with the result. I think it captures much of what the NFU Mutual tried to overlook or cover up in their reply to my complaint. It also addresses the fabrications they are still insisting are true so that they can reduce the amount they pay us. So, here it is. You may want to go and get a cuppa – it’s a long one: Dear Mr Sinclair We write in response to your letter dated 17 February 2021, in…

    The Cash Settlement – More Unscrupulous Behaviour from NFU Mutual

    2 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    When we received our latest response from the Group Chief Executive of NFU Mutual, something didn't look right. When I looked into it, I found more unscrupulous behaviour from the NFU Mutual.

    ‘We Cannot Continue to Talk About the Errors’ and You Can’t Have the Sum Insured! – NFU Mutual

    25 February 2021 / 0 Comments

    'The claims department cannot continue to discuss the errors made by the contractor and/or others involved in your claim.' But why not? You've never explained why the errors happened.
