I purchased car insurance from Churchill with a £50 Excess
charge. When I rang to make a claim I was told my excess was £200.
I complained about this to churchill and spoke to a lady called
Ms N. She could not find any evidence that I had asked for a £200
excess but offered to reduce it to £100 for this claim.
I believe that as I was sold a policy with a £50 excess
that is what I should have to pay. I have now been unable to use
my car for a week now and this will continue until this dispute
is settled.
I am now having to seek legal advice and hire a car until the
situation is resolved. I have been informed that when I win my
dispute against Churchill I will be able to make a claim for the
cost of the car hire.

When you received your policy document/insurance
certificate did it not confirm the excess applicable? ... SpaceCowboy

I agree with SpaceCowboy. I
can't see why Churchill reduced the excess for this claim, though,
if it was clearly shown on your policy documents. Can you clarify
what they stated? MarkyMarkD ... 19 September 2003
