The latest news for Insurance
Understandable, I …
Understandable, I do receive complaints every now and again, it’s not great to hear when what you work hard for is a dissatisfying service, all the best for the future.
Ah, well thank you …
Ah, well thank you for your reasoned and reasonable response. I’m sure there are satisfied customers, but when you have never made a claim, having been driving for a many many years, and are treated like a liar and not listened to by your own insurance company it does tend to leave a bad taste. I have been treated very shoddily indeed, without any reason. It’s very upsetting. I am an honourable person.
Actually no, Fortis …
Actually no, Fortis Insurance Ltd is regulated in the UK and functions as a separate entity from Fortis bank.
But yeah, to be fair though, a lot of our customers are very satisfied with the policies, but there are always those who have a bad experience.
That’s as maybe, …
That’s as maybe, but Fortis (who I gather had to be bailed out by the government of its country) has not, and is still not, working in my interests in any way, nor is in the slightest interested in the facts, only in making its money and covering its back. The system is corrupt , irrespective of how it gets its funds.
Tbh I work for …
Tbh I work for Fortis, we don’t make our profits from the premiums that we take in. So the idea that we rake it in from premiums is false.
Thank you. Reason …
Thank you. Reason for celebration. \o/

Naturally it’s about being taken seriously. Congratulations on getting through the corporate cannon fodder ^_^
It certainly is …
It certainly is frustrating. To be honest, more than whether I got fully paid or not I objected to being treated badly and like a moron for asking only a fair response for a service I had paid for. Oddly, a few days after I put this video up the person igned my case finally deigned to get in touch and seek to resolve it, being reasonable and respectful. A first for them. I am left wondering if there is any correlation.
nice expression at …
nice expression at the end. It is not the case because the highest bidder wins. Two forces balance eachother out. Here are all kinds of distortions. Like you mentioned because it’s compulsory they have a sort of monopoly. Also they get to inspect if they will give away their money and they are forced to or they’ll go bankrupt. But it’s very frustrating to get caught up in such a system and have the uncertainty and not get fully paid.
You make some …
You make some important points. The system is set up with inbuilt dishonesty, or rather expected dishonesty from both sides. Yet this is not the case in many other commercial interactions. Not to say most of them are all that reasonable, but it is this, and a couple of others, which really take the biscuit in terms of absurdity.
If you read the …
If you read the clause you will find that they actually don’t have to pay anything at all. The other side of the story is that people that run an insurance company have to make a pragmatic choice. If they don’t have this policy they will go bankrupt within a year from insurance frauds. The community suffers, but the community is guilty. People on the top of the company look at a way to run a sustainable policy the inspectors are looking at a way to higher their provision.

Hi fortislover
Interesting point these awards they have won,I call it the lovees club where they just love to give each other alsorts of awards all nicely framed ,we never get to find out who voted them thee award how ever they can be very usefull for hideing the cracks in the plaster

You entirely miss …
You entirely miss the point. Though I suspect you have a (not very) hidden agenda. I repeat, the issue is not one insurance company or another (and I did tell them I was going to make this video, to tell me if they didn’t want to be mentioned, but they ignored it), but of the system as a whole. If you are a happy customer, fine, but that doesn’t mean others don’t have a valid perspective or complaint. This is a political issue many are aware of. You are drawing attnetion to the company, not I.
If I/all felt the …
If I/all felt the need to make a sad vid about EVERY issue in the country then it would probly crash Youtube.
Ive never felt the need to post on here until I see some1 who is slating a company Im happy with and millions of others. Check there website out, theyve won awards year after year and compare that to other companies in the same industry.
Answer my question : why do you feel so badly treated? - Post the make and year of your car and that would explain the reason why your unhappy ![]()
I’m very happy for …
I’m very happy for you. I’m sure you don’t work for them. To say you buy from them but not work for them, if you do, would not be honest. The fact you only created this profile today is interesting. Not sure how you can say no laws were broken since you don’t know the case.
Either way,if you observe the main thrust of what I’m saying, rather than the particular, you’ll see I’m attempting to raise an issue many people find an unacceptable and unfair system, irrespective of the company.
Ever heard of the …
Ever heard of the FSA? they govern and follow strict guidelines on how these companies are run and I can ure you no laws have been broken and there is no fine line in the way you say youve been through a loophole. lol
Please tell me how old your car is and how much you paid for it, and also how much Fortis offered you as you dont seem to tell that side in your lovely vid.
As for me ive been with Fortis for 7 years and ive had 2 claims both times I was exeptionally happy with them.

‘we are no longer small people living in a big world who can be intimidated.

Hi yettio
We do not care weather the legal representatives want to see this blog,we being the rest of the world all have similar problems from time to time with these companys.We can help each other by swoping our own storys and stop each other making the same mistakes,we are no longer small people living in a big world who can be intimidated.
As long as we tell the truth the truth will prevale.

They have to talk to me, it’s their job. They don’t have to do anything about it of course, but I’m told there is a growing swell of public opinion on this issue, and Radio4 has a programme relating to it (the whole thing, not my video). I’m not ready to lie down and play dead yet. ![]()

I will, and I wish you the very best for a fair and honest outcome for you.
Hi Dave. Oddly I …
Hi Dave. Oddly I was wondering exactly the same thing myself earlier today. I’ve had this car for a long time, it’s worth far less than it was, and thus far more likely to be written off by an insurer in an accident, so much less settlement offered, yet the cost of the cover doesn’t decrease at all. How can that be? It’s heads they win tails we lose.
