The next ending saga - letters cross in the mail

Forgive me for saying this, but this ordeal is like war and peace and you know how long that went on for, the book. This is turning into a major headache all round. Do you ever wish you could go to sleep, wake up and find it's all over, you've finally got closure on the whole damn sorry event.

A person can get away without having life or property insurance, but unfortunately, it's mandated by the law to have insurance on a car.

I hope he returns it. They really will sue.

I also agree with the person that told you to send them the money minus the 1000.00 deductable. And adding ...tell his insurance company to pound sand. They are trying to intimidate him. He could keep all the money and there would be nothing they could do but for his own karma..be fair and return what isn't rightfully his. don't let them bully him. It really is not worth their time or the cost to take him to court.

hidawn okay grrr lost all my response got to save every damned thing to day grrr. I am so sorry you guys are having such problems with the insurance companies. That's a real bummer but I guess thats life too. I hope someone decides in tony's favor and the other one gives up. lol

I never thought (I know this is irrational) that the US had Insurnace problems like we do in our Third 'World Country. I hate Insurance Companies but they are a necessary evil. Right now I need an Xray that will cost US$1000 so I am battling with my health insurance provider to pay 80% and it is not easy to get them to agree to do so - despite that they should pay this sum. I am so sorry that Tony is having these horrible problems still. What a bunch nof 'you know whats'.

Sounds like a real screwup. I think Tony is doing the right thing. Then by putting the other money in the bank, when and if he has to return it, he will get the interest on it.

I've been through a similar incident but it had to do with an accident and the repair company collecting payment from me and my insurance paying both him and me, along with me paying him. What clued me in to the repair company getting paid twice, was the dollar amount the NEW insurance company found was filed against me. I pulled out the bill, and found I had only paid half the amount. When I called the old insurance they told me they had cut a check to them and to me. When I asked them who was going to pay back the half to them, they said neither that the case was closed. Well, it wasn't as far as I'm concerned and I called the repair company and read them the riot act. It took almost 2 months for the repair company to send me a check for their error, but I never heard from the insurance company. So.... needless to say, they didn't get a cent of that money back. These dang insurance companies make mistakes all the time, and the way they deal with their mistakes, is a toss up from one incident to another. I truly tried to return the funds to me, and all I ever got was, the case is closed we wouldn't know what to do with the money. But they sure knew how to pass the total dollar amount they paid on to the next insurance company. Truthfully, if I were your son, I'd be calling an attorney. Let one of them deal the insurance company and THEIR mistake. If an attorney does it right, their fee will be paid by the insurance company and not by your son.

Wow, I really hope this finally gets settled soon.

I do not know if holding back the return is a wise or legal thing to do, I think the both of you had better get some legal counsel on this decision. After all, I feel Tony is at fault in the first place for cashing in the check and I believe that the fact is were wary at that time just make this issue very straightforward that Tony is at fault. I would advise that the money be return in person at the insurance company so as to get a immediate redress of any wrongs and answers. You can always tape the entire session or have a lawyer present. I am suggesting this in view of the precarious letter correspondences you all have been experiencing and I don't expect the erring party to evolve in such a short time. At the same time, all this back and forth is just aggravating.

Sounds fun

I agree with you. I hope the insurance company learned a lesson in all of this. Like they need to pay attention to who is doing what so this doesn't happen again. And I'd being going else where to my business.

Always troubles with those darn insurance companies. They just look to get out of paying is all. Very sad..
