cosmokram3r Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) This is taking forever! When i asked RACV how long she has to get her car assessed and pay her excess they said about 2 weeks.. Its been about that now i called her up she said she took it in to be assessed but isnt actually getting it fixed until End of June/Early July because she cant be without a car for 3 days.. This shouldnt have anything to do with me. I asked if she fax'ed the assessment through, she said nah.. im waiting on the paperwork to pay the excess.. I told her give them a call tomorrow and tell them u got the assessment and pay the excess over the phone because i need my car fixed asap. Turning into a pain in the ass now i'll see what she has to say when she calls me back tomorrow.. If i dont like ill call up RACV tuesday and see whats up. Meanwhile i just paid for my Vertex kit for $800.. Subtract the $704 cheque ill get.. I get a full body kit for $96! Gotta love insurance (when its not your fault!) Oh and ive just gone and paid for 3rd party fire/theft insurance from justcars $663 with excess of $1900 .. Backup plan just incase i accidently smash a mercedes or something Edited June 1, 2008 by cosmokram3r Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/218309-hit-from-the-back/page/3/#findComment-3910089 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmokram3r Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Get insurance... otherwise ask them to settle private. Ive got insurance now.. Cant tell them to chase the money up now after its already happened when i was uninsured.. so hopefully RACV stop's being so slack and asks her for the money and it all works out.. I think i'll call them tomorrow and say its been 2 weeks wheres my cheque u havent sent any paperwork do your job!

cosmokram3r Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ahhh some great news =] Called up RACV and told them how she's been and got her car assessed etc.. They said yep shes fulfilled her policy we'll send you the cheque today for $852.. So not only do i get my cheque this week.. They've mixed something up and are sending me the amount of the more expensive quote instead of the $704 quote!

cosmokram3r Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Got my new replacement Vertex kit today from DMD =] Anyone have a guide on how to install it? Like everything to take off exactly what to do etc.. Or so it simply fit it up, drill holes where needed and just screw it on? I would have no clue about sideskirts and rear bar.. Been looking for a guide havent been able to find one..

ducki Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm in a similar situation at the moment, with someone reversed into me instead. Just wondering if RACV sent the cheque to you or your panel beater?

cosmokram3r Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 I sent them the 2 quotes and they sent the cheque to my address. They called me up to confirm my address details but if you get the claim number u can call them up and get a faster response.

ducki Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The other party is requesting two quotes from me and send it to them. I think they're going to send RACV those quotes. Just not sure if it would work the same way, as in RACV contacts me for the payment instead of the panel beater to negotiate or something.

cosmokram3r Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Ask them to lodge a claim with RACV then give you the claim number. RACV are the ones you send the quotes to. They have to get their own car assessed but thats a different story. The repairs might be cheaper then their excess so maybe thats why their asking for the quotes. Call RACV and give the claim number and say you got 2 quotes where do i fax it to and they'll tell u.. Then fax it through then ring the next day or something and they'll most probably say they'd send you a cheque for the cheaper quote as soon as their client pays their excess.. Unless its a cheap repair then they might pay for the repairs. This was the situation with me so im not sure if its always the same but if it is then this is the way to go to get paid as fast as possible. Good luck with everything man..

ducki Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 thanks for the explanation.. I will send them a copy of the quotes so they can decide to lodge a claim and keep a copy for myself then.. so I can send it to RACV later. Cause at the moment, they refuse to lodge a claim without seeing the quotes even after I told them how much the quote was. It's good that yours worked out.. so hopefully it will for me too.

SKYL1N Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was rear ended a few months ago and the guy was also very un co operative My quote was $4600.. the guy wasn't avoiding me, he just was very slow on making the insurance claim to his company, I know how its very frustrating. At least its a win win. $100 to your next mod. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/218309-hit-from-the-back/page/3/#findComment-4026677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
