A third party insurance policy.
They are claiming it’s from agents or touts and this set of people can’t operate without them giving them the nod from Delta State Motor License Office. Although, their claims now is that, they’re not being settled properly by those at the license office. In fact, I don’t know how this concerns me their customer and complainant.
This is one of the reason people hate anything to do with insurance companies. They don’t seem to be straight in their dealings.
I need them to act accordingly. But I’m yet to be attended to. This accident took place in a Month back.
So what do you advice me, to do next?
@ Onalo Mark, have you tried to verify you vehicle insurance? It does not matter if you brought the insurance on the moon, as long as it is a valid insurance contract, the insurance company will settle the claim. You can check the validity of your insurance by going to Ask NIID and see if your insurance is active. There are fake insurance agent selling nothing but a piece of paper the tissue paper has more value than. If you bought such not insurance company will settle your claim.
Insurance these days are becoming more dynamics than ever. I was told by an insurance company which I won’t disclose it’s name that there are car premiums that last for just a day.
