Unreliable these insurance companies arnt they. Realy do make you wonder why we even bother to pay them. They are the worse scammers going.
Hope you get it all sorted mate,
Mk6 is a beauty,try keep hold of that aslong as possible hahaha

[rolty_gti]

drive the mk6 like you stole it a curtosy car ,   won't help you out finatualy but at least you can have some fun with it and do things that you wouldn't want to with your own bcause of repair bills 

I would crash it on purpose and then claim for whiplash. Solves your sh!t offer from the Admiral. You could end up with 3 large....

funny you should say about whiplash ive had a stiff neck ever since the accident and i'm seriously considering taking the claim route with it espeacially after that sh!t offer!

they certainly are mate, just makes me wonder why ive paid over 10 years of insurance money, never made a claim never had an accident and nw some little twit does this and it feels like im the 1 bein shafted!
anyhoo the mk6 is being driven every moment i get, it really is a lovely car!
looks like i could be keeping hold of it for a while.
i been on the phone to insurance again earlier and they have offered me 1750 which i thought fair do i'll accept that but then there takin remaining insurance policy costs til end of policy out of that and my excess or i wait a few days for other party's insurance to claim liabilty and end up with £1350 anyways,
so now on the hunt for a motor for £1350

[wentalong]

If the car does go the the scrappers or you can buy it from them, find out which scappie or how much they want for you to buy it back, would glady buy this given the right price.....

Rediculous its a write of...  hope it all ends well mate!

i have not had chance read full thread so apologies in advance..

but do not fall for this crap admiral says about deducting excess etc they have tried that with me! and it is incorect! they do not tell you that they legally should offer you the value of the car what it is on the market now or they can offer you what they have.. ofcourse you would choose the value of the car on market now which should be about 2k.

They offered me same crap so what i did was go to independant solictor and put claim through them and funny enough admiral paid me 2.2k for the car.. and even politly asked if i want to buy the car for 600.. i said no keep the car give me the 2.2k thank you very much!

it is not your fault so you do not need to pay this exces crap.. presuming you are fully comp?? so do not fall for it.. tell them you either want to buy the car which you can as it is only going to be cat D.. or you want the value of the car which it is on the market today..which is legally what you are entitled too

also they are not allowed to deduct remaining insurance becuase your car is not going to be insured for the remaining months as it has been declared right off so thus not on the road and insurance companys property .. .so why should you pay for remaining months?? that is another bullsh!t charge they are trying to pocket.. YOU DONT NEED TO PAY SQUAT CRASH WAS NOT YOUR FAULT THEY SHOULD CHARGE THE 206 GUYS COMPANY NOT U!

btw i HATE admiral if you have not noticed they have been nothing but trouble for me so good luck hope you get what your entitled too

Just been catching up on the replies on here after returning from turkey,right well basically my old man has been dealing with admiral and Albany while I been away.ive managed to get 1750 out of admiral for my car which to be fair I'm ok with as I paid 2k for it ahead and a bit ago.BUT admiral are still taking the 450 excess from me and I have to put a claim through Albany to get that back. After bein on the phone to admiral for hours they are still takin the remaining money for my insurance as they reckon it's in the small print that customers agree to do that when they pay monthly for there policy and it's in the small print.but they did say when i get a new car i can carry on the policy and pay no extra charges or monthly payments up until the end of the policy year, HOW NICE OF THEM  :laugh:eitha way there's not much I can do but I will be receiving a cheque for just under a grand from admiral and shortly after a cheque for 450 from Albany for my excess from the third party.yes I am fully comp not that it does fak all!, pay out insurance yet when something happens I pay out yet again,what's the point of insurance??!

Also the other bad news is the mk6 got picked up this morning,was fun while it lasted.
So now I'm waiting for 2 cheques to be sent to me, so now as I type I am car hunting on the net, if anybody knows of a decent mk4 golf feel free to let me know

Why cannot they claim the money of the third party after all That is what you have paid them insurane for!! Its there job to do the run around. Insurance companys are fooking they are as bad as them
A55holes that claims that threw prices up. Its all "how Can we squeeze more money from this" situations now. i would have kicked off mate they told me claim of third party. Your simple argument should
Be what am i paying you for!

Good to hear you atleast got offered decent Amount bud. i paid annualy for mine that is why maybe you have had to pay the remainder. I still dont see why tho when the car you paid insure aint on road now
another insurance loop hole to sponge more Money off us i take it

Well apparently the excess they take off the settlement figure as a part payment for there "services" and I have to claim it back from Albany who is dealing with the claim and my hire car, which I don't get cos if albany are dealing with all this what are admiral doing?
Either way my car is being picked up today and I have received my first cheque, so now waiting on the second 1 from Albany, how long I will have to wait if I even get it! Who knows.
Apparently I have to pay the remainder of the insurance because I pay monthly and it's a clause in the small print, conning gifts that's all it is, but they have said when I get a new car I can carry on the policy and not have to pay for it unless the car is more expensive to insure or I get a rebate if the car is cheaper to insure.
HOW NICE OF THEM, eitha way rant over lol just thought I'd give you an update
