mogandave Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 "If no-one scammed or lied there probably would be very little of that happening." Do you really believe that? The more money that insurance companies, banks etc get, the more they want. Look at it another way. Supposing that tomorrow, someone invented a way that made sure it was impossible to scam an insurance company, do you think they would bring their premiums down? Come on, the truth now.If there is competition in the market, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 If you are forced to apologies, it is still concerted to be sincere? A few posters got it right, we pay for all the false insurance claims with our raising premium cost. LeoTexOnly people that buy insurance pay increased premiums. In much the same way that only tax payers pay for tax increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I don't think so. Is there competition between the banks? What happens when the banks put up their prices for us to draw money from an ATM with our UK debit card? They all do it round about the same time, they have went a bit crazy over the last few years. It's capitalism, and the insurance companies would keep charging us for as much as they can get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs me nothing to draw money with my US ATM card. My medical insurance pays my medical bills and my auto insurance pays in the event I’m in an accident. Insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums, not paying out claims. That said, it has been my experience that they pay legitimate claims.

I don't think so, sounds like an economic migrant from some impoverished, overly religious country to me. Should have been given an extended stay courtesy of the prison service, given a criminal record as a free gift plus a nice little bit of red artwork stamped into his passport.

We should just end this discussion as we are never going to agree.

I said at the start they don’t pay out claims they don’t have to. Not sure what we disagree about unless you think they should have to pay out claims for things not covered under the policy.

This includes house insurance, car insurance etc. Looks like he is heading for a whole lot of trouble when he gets back to the UK. I wonder why if he lost/had stolen his computer in the Uk he did not make a claim on his insurance then? He isn't heading for any trouble when he gets home as he didn't make a claim for anything.

You read about it all the time in the UK. Those claims that they don't pay out on are not genuine claims, either that or the policy conditions were not met by the policyholders. Can you quote an example of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
