Everything went a bit quiet over Christmas/New Year, only to be expected, but last week we had a call saying an engineer would visit Teesside Caravans to assess the damage against the quotes for repairs.
We were expecting something from the insurance company this week but, out of the blue today, we received the tax disk, just attached to a compliments slip, from a company in Peterlee. Turned out they had been asked by the insurance company to collect the van from Teesside Caravans on Tuesday and store it.
Jill rang the insurance company and found that the van has been declared a write off. The Peterlee company were a it previous in sending us the tax disk because the claim hasn't gone fully through the insurance company's systems yet
Naturally, the insurance company's offer is less than we think the van replacement cost will be but they are open to negotiation so we'll be doing some research tonight to see if we can get some more. We visited Cleveland Motorhomes this afternoon and the salesman we spoke to there was surprised the offer was so low, so we'll be using that as an argument.
On the plus side the insurance company is going to send us a cheque for the amount they offered without prejudice to negotiations so that will put money in the bank for us to start looking.
