The NFU Mutual
The NFU Mutual are my insurance company. We chose them to insure our Grade II, listed thatched cottage in Suffolk because we thought we and our home would be well looked after. They have an excellent reputation which, in our case, they have failed to live up to. It's more than three years since we lodged our claim, after a water mains flood. Now, my dear little Suffolk cottage, my dream home, is now deteriorating by the day. Three sets of builders have damaged my home and not carried out the repairs. But instead of sorting out the mistakes they've made, the NFU Mutual are more interested in arguing about getting competitive prices than meeting their responsibilities and putting my home back together.

Why NFU’s Builders Weren’t Allowed Back – They Weren’t Qualified
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
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…
