If Your Car Was Repossessed During An Insurance Investigation Fraud Should They Have To Pay For Another? |
A friend's car was repossessed during an insurance investigation, he was unable to go to work because the insurance company didn't finish the investigation in ample enough time. The insurance company was going to give him $2500 to get the car fixed before the investigation. Now the insurance company is saying that they are going to pay him for pain & suffering and the damages to the car. Are they going to buy him a new car being as though there was no fraud?
| Answer: The only reason the friends car would be repossessed is because the payments were not made and the bank wasn't told anything. He could have rented a car, car pooled, used public transportation, or any of a number of things to get to work. He didn't have to stay home because the insurance was investigating the loss. No, at best they will make up his losses and give him fair market value for the car that was stolen. Although I have to wonder how the bank found the car to repossess it. The best source of answers for your friend will actually be his insurance company. |
