My Rant

How did the insurance company get a hold of your driving history??

The department of transport is not allowed to give it to anyone.

I use to work for a large finance and insurance company ... on many of occasion I would try to get a hold of the driving history for similar cases that we had ... not once was it given to us as it is against the privacy act.

so did you get your own history and then supply it to them??

which ins comp??

I was told I had to supply a copy of my of my traffic history to them for my claim to go through. Ins. comp. was RACQ.

If there is one thing I have learnt over the years, is that companies will try and use scare tactics as a last defence in getting out of paying something or fixing something under warranty.

It looks as though they might win again if you don't fight it.

If you do just leave it, the insurance company will get out of paying the $20k and you will be $20k out of pocket (as you already are).

Fight it.....what do you have to lose? Nothing.......what do you have to gain $20k!

Beleive me, if you make enough noise they will come to the party.

Faaark, what a sh!tfight

If you don't take the pr!ck to small claims court, at least spend a few extra dollars and get him kneecapped or something

I'd be following up on the insurance companies explanation on not paying out. Insurance is approved by what you notify them on the day you take it out. It's a snapshot of your driving history up to that point. That's what they base the risk and therefore the premiums on.

If they're saying that your policy is void, this means it should not of been in place at all and they should/have to refund you the premiums you paid during that time. A company cannot insure someone and collect premiums if they're not eligible. It's called duty of disclosure and if you've forgotten to tell them something, all that will happen is at claim time, they'll decline the claim and refund your premiums as it shouldn't of been set in force to begin with. I'd definitely be looking into this further. I sell insurance for a living and it looks like they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes or they've a hidden clause in their contracts.

Just trying to help, good luck mate
