Not a happy bunny!

Grumpy excuse #1

Some of you are aware that we paid a deposit on said Wedgewood SE 'F' and waiting for the insurance cheque to drop on the doormat. Still waiting and the bottleneck is the 3rd party's insurers not releasing the cheque, so feel sorry for the seller but it's out of our hands.

Grumpy excuse #2

Wife called to say she has clipped the kerb in the hire car, our road is like glass! Car not safe to drive as the steering is cocked and pulling heavily. I told her to call the number on the card supplied, the people who dropped it off as part of the claim.

Turns out it is the RAC, they say it is under warranty still, call the AA.

AA say call Fleet Services as it has flagged up on our system to do so.

Called Fleet Services, they have no record of the car they dropped off! They say call Albany, who are the legal arm of Admiral. No answer.

4 hours later she is still waiting on a call to say who and when they are collecting it for repair!

All we want is the money to go pick the 'F' up and get shot of this bloody Punto!

Hence the grumpy mood!


*goes for a coffee*

sorry to hear of your problems mate....insurers are the worst people to have to deal with....and hire car companies no better....first thing that springs to mind is that if no one is claiming the car is theres then keep the smegger....lol...congrats on finding a wedgewood though,i hope they pay up so you can get it...it is a lovely colour when all fettled and cleaned.....

hope it all works out

The annoying thing is everything was going really smoothly when we reported the incident, within an hour of reporting it the replacement car was dropped off. Now it's as if they don't care unless the cheque's here and they want the car back as no-one else is paying for it after that.

A typical case of the left hand not talking to the right!

I feel a bit of a fraud as we haven't got the car yet! The seller has been ever so patient as well. Hope it continues.

If they don't call back - sell the punto and buy the F, deny all knowledge



Seriously though, hope you get it sorted soon.

sounds like a plan

I'm sure it will work out mate, you can borrow it and have a mini meet somewhere :whistle:

Life, eh?:whistle:

Good luck for a successful outcome soon!:yesnod:

Who'd want to buy a car made out of paper? :lol:

I drove it back last night when I got home from work, it is shot, diff or driveshaft issues. The company still didn't call so need to chase them up this morning. So we shall be one car less over xmas.

Not good news, because it was a fault accident and caused by ice, we have been told the car will be collected and we will not get a replacement.

One car short now and the wife is working tomorrow!
