troll Member 15 Member For: 19y 10m 25d Posted 10/08/05 10:39 AM Share Posted 10/08/05 10:39 AM Hi chapsI was saying in another thread here I unfortunately had a low speed bump today and flattended the nose of the hood. This is the first at-fault I've ever had. Forunately minor and double as fortunate that I bumped the other car's rear mounted spare tyre (4WD) - so no damage whatsoever for them.My insurer - GIO (Syd) gives me a protected no claim for life.A friend said that the insurer may put my premium up. Is that right? Any experiences here? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19346-insurance-claims/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody marvelous. Yeah I see what you mean. A law unto themselves.Well it could be worse. I could be insured with NRMA. Then they would take a pic of the damage, send it to the repairer. He could quote from the photo and then fix the photo with photoshop!Oh. And the damage to my bonnet? It's a crease. Not unlike that in your avatar.

justind Member 90 Member For: 22y 1m 17d Location: Melbourne Posted 10/08/05 11:42 AM Share Posted 10/08/05 11:42 AM I have been told that this can happen. They put a levy of $x dollars to your premium for x years even though your rating stays the same. The other thing I have heard of is they increase your excess for x years and sometimes both. I have not experienced these first hand this is just what I have been told by friends and family who have had these experiences Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19346-insurance-claims/#findComment-281171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personaly, in this case I agree. The least you should have done is have several security guards with automatic weapons and RPG's watching the jetski 24/7. Really.
