I've finally sorted my last no fault claim out after waiting 6 months to get £600 of excess and expenses refunded and today my new insurer calls me to say I haven't provided proof of CAT1 alarm and immobiliser!

 

It's been fitted for 5 years now and after changing insurance a few times I no longer have any of the slips that came with the alarm.

 

They want a sheet of letterhead from a garage to say it has one fitted as proof within 14 days.

I called my local ICE/alarm centre and they want £20 to do it! FFS

 

Does anybody have a garage who can just write on a sheet of paper that I have a bloody alarm?

Why do you begrudge spending £20 to get proof you have an alarm? Do you have one? It shouldn't just be a matter printing off you have one, they will have to inspect what you have and whether its wired up correctly.

send me a pm mate, I may be able to help you :)

It's the time off work to do it when I already have already sent pics of the car and my previous insurer already had proof.

Does anybody think I would have a car like this with no alarm and immobiliser?!

Don't see that a letterhead from some garage they have never heard of proves anyway.

I could just print one off on my PC FFS :confused:

 

I've been on the phone to my car insurance for various reasons every week for the last 8 months. Just sick of all the hastle.
