Result!
another agrument with a manager, they are sending me a cheque for £370 for this years increase!
He also accepted that i could claim again nxt year if the premium takes a signifiant increase (quite what that means i will find out nxt year)
So it pays to be a pain in the arse!
If you have been charged extra premiums due to a non fault claim get on the phone to the at-fault company and calmly (it was very hard not to swear) ask for your losses to be covered.

nice one 
Well done liam1986. You've inspired me to pursue this, although i a going to wait until my car is repaired and I have confirmation that the claim has been settled by the other party in full.
Admiral have loaded my renewal premium by a whopping 33%!!
I have several avenues - seek recompense for my out-of-pocket expenses from:
the third party insurers (ING); Admiral, Admirals claim handling company (Albany); the ABI; the Ombudsman or finally an action directly against the driver!
Its not just the money - it is the whole principle of this absurd policy adopted by the insurance companies.

That is common practice, while a claim is outstanding. When the claim is settled in your favour, they refund the difference.[b]Admiral have loaded my renewal premium by a whopping 33%!! [/b[]........

yeah. once have recieved in wrting that ING have accepted third party liablaily, add the increase in insurance premiums to the losses you have and will suffer as a direct result of the acciedent.
They will come up with the line "its not an insursed loss" but stay calm and tell them it IS a loss you have/will suffer soley due to the acciednet that they are insuring the at-fault driver for any third party losses.
Don;t let these
ing insurance companies get away with it any more!!!! Gassing Station | HSV & Monaro | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
