A simple question. As the caravan club no longer offer caravan insurance as such what suggestions for a new insurer that does.

as i said

yes somebody will be able to point to a dispute

i must lead a very boring life as i have to admit have never been involved in such a dispute, have only ever had a couple of claims in 50 odd years of motoring and maybe 20 years of caravaning and both were rock solid claims so the insurance company paid up as i am sure the club would do.

Mine was a rock solid claim as well. If it were not do you think I would have taken legal action? 

Before I started legal action the offered settlement was insufficient to replace my 12 month old motorcycle with one of similar age. They were offering below best condition and it was best condition. They were not offering a proper replacement of 12 month old Belstaff jacket, leggings, jeans, crash helmet. They were not offering to pay my lost part time wages for about 30 hours a week, I was earning as much from them as from my part time job. Can't lay lawns and patios or do a Littlewoods pools round with several broken bones in my foot and on two crutches - I don't remember now whether I was doing a sea food round at that time but I think that I was. I also worked several evenings a week doing keeping accounts and other things. I could give concrete evidence of most of this by way of checks but I only had my own accounts of earnings but doubtless my supplier had details. I considered the payment for my injuries too low.

For our 3 year old caravan i used compare the market and several other similar sites. Ended up a lot cheaper using Happyplace.co.uk via a quote from compare the market. No doubt as per car insurance it will require changing to a different company each year to get the best price. Club cover was £1-200 more!

What made you change Footloosery? Was it to get a better price?

I can assure you that I do not have a 'skewed' agenda'. I have happily used the club insurance for over 40 years. What I do have is experience of an insurance dispute and the best part of 9 months using the legal route to get a justified settlement amount. The only other insurance dispute was eventually resolved to my satisfaction in a little over 2 weeks.

I was always pleased with CC's insurance. And as you probably aware, I am not one to generally decry the club as I have always been well satisfied with them over many years

 I am totally unable to see any validity to your earlier comment Dave. I explained why I want a regulated insurance, If you prefer unregulated then go right ahead

Posted on 11/11/2019 19:53

Don’t know if mine is regulated or not

I assume you have never been in dispite with this club or you would not be fighting their corner.

Posted on 11/11/2019 19:55

Not fighting anyone’s corner just looking for facts and not assumptions

Haven’t read anything on this thread that would convince me to cancel my policy.  No response required

How novel a post that actually makes sense without a skewed agenda or downright scaremongering. Thanks Rufs you’ve made my day👍🏻😊

Posted on 11/11/2019 20:05

I have been told that there is no scaremongering
