Greenlight (Highway Insurance) WARNING

[Neil@greenlight]

1) Throwing your toys out the pram for sympathy votes shows a further lack of professionalism, which is unbecoming of both you and your company. If we all did that the first time someone challenged our expressed views, this board would be empty in a week.

2) My advice to anyone reading this, would be get your V5 out and go on line at http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/?SKIN=directgov

Follow the procedure required as if you were applying for a tax disc on-line and make sure your insurance details are recorded at the DVLA (you can abort the application after they confirm this) This could help you avoid your car being taken from you due to the negligence of your insurer.

1) I'm not throwing my toys out of the pram, I'm not looking for anyones sympathy....I don't know users on this forum from adam so why would i try and get their sympathy!! I just don't need to waste my time answering posts on this forum. I don't get paid anymore or earn any kick back for answering these posts.....I do it because I prefer to deal with enthusiasts owners who are similar mind set to me. Its annoying when you explain that another insurer (nothing to do with us) has entered the customer on the motor insurer databse causing a duplicated entry problem....Yet people still blame us!

2) This is in excellent suggestion, if anyone is concerned log on to the system and if your vehicle doesn't appear contact your insurer to make sure it has been submitted to the database and that the reg etc.... is correct.

Best Regards

I think its a credit to greenlight that they have come on here to try and explain the issue, being negative will only encourage companies not to try and be so helpful.

Just to add my own tuppence to this post i'm currently insured through A.Flux as i have been for a number of years, always had my policy with Highway and never had a problem, had a car stolen and had to claim, claim was dealt with quickly and professionally and apart from not getting the stereo cover - apparently the car was stolen not the stereo so stereo came under £100 personal items not at the £500 cover as on insurance cert - i got a reasonable payout for the car so couldn't complain!

I think its a credit to greenlight that they have come on here to try and explain the issue, being negative will only encourage companies not to try and be so helpful and transparent in the future imo.

We all know the problem is a piss poor run country with an overstretched police force!

I'm sorry, what??

That's what i said, had about £1000 worth of stereo. On setting up policy was told stereo cover was 10% car value or £500 max. When car was stolen assumed i'd get the £500 at least in addition to car payout, but apparently that's for if your stereo is stolen as the crime!
Original payout offer was low and when i pointed out their example similar/identical car on autotrader was 300 miles north of me and said the price was more expensive down here they raised the offer to just over book price so i really couldn't complain in the end!
Just learnt not to leave sunglasses/cd's etc in my car!
