Motorclaimguru came about due to the desire to help consumers against these greedy corporate entities lining their pockets with profit for the benefit of shareholders. The FCA has recently caught up with Directline and Identified that they have been undervaluing vehicles for some considerable time. Due to this, they have ordered them to review cases between 1 September 2017 and 17 August 2022.
Having been a Directline employee myself, it comes as no surprise to me, what you may not know is that Directline is part of the RBS group of companies and also owns Churchill insurance, NIG and many others. The people who work for Directline also work for these other brands. It is not just Directline customers who should be concerned about having their vehicle undervalued.
FCA warns insurers about support provided to struggling customers
Following an increase in complaints about insurance claims, the FCA uncovered examples of lengthy complaints handling times and people not given appropriate settlements. The regulator discovered instances of motor insurance customers being offered a price lower than their car’s fair market value after it had been written off, which is against FCA rules. Relevant firms have been told to put these wrongs right and where necessary provide redress to affected customers.
The review also found that some firms were unable to show they were monitoring customer outcomes well enough, and that better information sharing was needed where insurers dealt with intermediaries to settle claims.
