Disney69 Member	posted 04-17-2001 03:01 PM My insurance company is NOT helping me and now is seems like the place that is holding my car wants to sell it. I can't get a straight answer from anyone. Please, help! [This message has been edited by Disney69 (edited 04-17-2001).] IP: Logged

Disney69 Member	posted 04-17-2001 03:04 PM A body shop place. They've been holding it over 30 days and say they want it off their lot even though, it's undrivable and they want 2k for storage fees. Everyone (even them) told me "not to worry about it until you hear what come of the insurance companies". IP: Logged
justina Member	posted 04-17-2001 03:13 PM i've had friends go through this. look on any paperwork they've given you. it should show what time period you are allowed to keep your car on the premises. if you don't pay, they will sell it at auction for about $200. (something to know if you're negotiating with them) My big ? is what the hell is up with your insurance company? They should be paying this and moving on!! IP: Logged

Disney69 Member	posted 04-17-2001 03:18 PM I'm looking at the paperwork and it says NOTHING. All they wrote was: Frontend Per Insurance Estimate then the policy number. IP: Logged

Everything I am doing I did as I was told but nothing is working out. AHHHHHH! My insurance company is saying "We don't know about California law. Ask them." And "them" is not returning my phone calls. IP: Logged

Tell them you know the car won't sell for over $100 so their best option is to give it back to you for a couple hundred. IP: Logged

I not only lost a car, but now my insuance is going to go up because of this rich fuck. again, not your problem. they should pay and get the money from the other insurer when the details are figured out. are you insured for a rental? what did the estimator say?

Disney69 Member	posted 04-17-2001 03:35 PM "them" = MetAuto "them" totaled out my car. My insurance is an insurance company I went to under a co-workers influence. I was already charged for a rental - $300, which I put on my company card- SaulGoodMan. Oops, I forgot to pay it before I got layed off. I am quite angry. I just want a car without all this....shit.

backgroundgrrl Member	posted 04-18-2001 09:03 AM Have you called your state insurance commisioner and filed a complaint? I worked in a chiropractic neurology/physical therapy office for five years, I have made many a call and sent many a letter to the insurance commisioner. The office can also give you advice on what to do. IP: Logged
