Can't you report this to the insurance ombudsman? There are rules about this surely!

Once you have achieved your aim getbthe complaint straight in. Flux was on the list for once ive finnished bolting my upgrades onto the truck but no longer. That is simply bad customer care insurance is for this very reason if they cant provide a good service when its purposr comes about then they need a kick in the nuts.

Oh dear that does not bode well, I have just insured with Markerstudy through Flux. I hope you get your claim sorted and the repairs carried out properly.
Surely you have a contract with Flux and therefore they should act on your behalf if the insurers or the loss adjusters are not acting properly. |

Markerstudy are NOT a good underwriters in my book and the issue may be with them and not AF. Despite having no damage to my vehicle and not being at fault I declared the accident and received an offensive letter from Markerstudy stating that if they did not receive a photocopy of my driving licence they would cancel my policy in 7 days. What sort of attitude is that? On renewal I insisted I wanted nothing more to do with Markerstudy and got AF to provide me with another underwriter.

Just more 'examples' of why insuring through a broker is rarely the best option
You pays yer money, you takes yer chance ..... Direct with insurance company for me, Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

Funnily enough I reiterated that very fact with Flux earlier today. They've had my money and my contract is with them. I was treated with complete indifference and was then passed onto ULR very quickly. Since my sense of humour failure at lunchtime ULR have come back to me and have said that Hoopers, the engineers appointed to approve (there's a laugh) repairs will contact me tomorrow. My mate in the insurance industry is right. To get anything done with these less than honest insurers you have to be prepared to scream and shout to get a response. The saga continues!

Well then, it's taken nearly two months and the 110 was finally collected this morning. Not to be repaired though. the engineer's instructed a second bodyshop to check the chassis/axle alignment because they're disputing the extent of the damage quoted by the first, which by all accounts was correct.
In those two months the soft soap, BS and contradiction from Adrian Flux, ULR, Markerstudy and Hoopers has been unbelievable! And the only reason I managed to get anything to happen was by posting a comment or two on Adrian Flux's Facebook page. Unfortunately it seems that only by giving them a bit of bad publicity can you get something done! surely not the best way to operate a business "If it ain't sideways, you just ain't tryin'! |

Same everywhere
Took me almost 4 month and 3 workshop to get mine repaired. Finally I receive a compensation equivalent to the repair cost in a workshop of my confidence (for almost the half than the dealer like to get) Cheers and good luck!

Well to update you all the 110 is finally back home after almost two months in a bodyshop, to do about 2 hours work!
But this was the bodyshops second attempt to deliver it a week after they first tried to deliver it, only for me to discover a large crease and a dent in the roof that looked suspiciously like they went too high on the lift and it had hit a steel roof purlin or something Needless to say they got a barrel of Fs and took it back to repair the roof (but not before they tried to deny it). For anyone out there interested the bodyshop was CLARKES OF KIBWORTH. I'd be inclined to give them a wide berth. The insurers MARKERSTUDY have been useless thoughout even telling me that the repair work hadn't been started an hour after i'd had a call to say the repair works were complete and to arrange delivery (albeit with a damaged roof panel!). Dealing with Markerstudy is an experience in being on hold for long periods of time, no info, mis-information, softsoap and BS. they never returned a single call when it was themselves that had arranged it. Even after making complaints and being promised their QA manager would call me....... nothing! Quite how they are still in business is beyond me. ADRIAN FLUX and their claims management company (ULR) have been almost as bad. I was told i couldn't have a loan car (so we could go on holiday in one vehicle) only to be told i could have a loan car, a week after we'd been on holiday. no one could tell what was happening at any point and I even got put in my place by one of ULR's call center operators for calling them and asking for someone in the Adrian Flux claims department even though i'd called the number on the letter i'd received from Adrain Flux that very morning. Despite trying to complain to all parties not once have I received an appology or even an explaination as to why it would take 18 weeks (almost 4 months) to carry out about 2 hours work (before they roof was damaged). So, Adrian Flux won't be getting my business in the future. they've had plenty of oportunity to step in and sort this out and have done nothing and I'd strongly advise anyone getting a insurance quote to steer clear of an insurance company called Markerstudy. And if you don't believe how bad they are just google Markerstudy review and see what comes up. "If it ain't sideways, you just ain't tryin'! |

Yup, they are , I was with them for 12 months, and even though I haven't had an incident, I found them unhelpful when it came to renewal time, and their credit agreement is an absolute con. I went back to NFU in the end. 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

Well, after taking almost 4 months to get my 110 repaired I wrote a letter of complaint to the insurer, Markerstudy.
To re-iterate their complete incompetance i received a cheque for £100 on Saturday. with no accomanying letter other than a compliment slip. I assumed that this is compensation without an admission of any failings on their part. Then today i receive a letter from them confirming they have investigated my complaint and in a very long winded round about way, where they managed to get most of the facts wrong (used a template letter did they?) it's basically my fault that it took ten weeks for them to get the vehicle collected and a further 6 weeks for it to be repaired (including the garage creasing the roof on the underside of their roof whilst it was on the ramp!) Please, if you're renewing your Land Rover's insurance, think twice if your broker recommends a policy from Markerstudy. Companies as bad as this shouldn't be allowed to sell insurance!
