830948 2009-11-17 04:54:00 I made an insurance claim after my insurance after my my previous incident when my shaver was damaged..

I got around to replying to their reply today. I sure won't take Southern Cross insurance with them again!

Here is my response to their reply...


Dear The Claims Teams

Do you honestly think I'm going to go to the hassle of looking through all my physical documents to find a simple receipt to prove I bought this thing? (if even if still have the bit of paper waste)? What other stupid documents do you expect me to provide? A sworn statement from Lithuania plus various Presidents of several weird countries.????

Here's a better thought - tell your little bosses that they're little plonkers (did I mention litltle?) and they can stick you and their insurance payout. You are so going to get a decent satisfaction for getting a resolution of this claim without having to pay out a for small claim. I 'll bet on it.

I didn't think I'd have to go through such a rigmoral to claim such a small amount.

Why don't they act a bit less like a chimpanzee, and simply ask me to send you the unit to prove that it is problematic?

Did it even remotely occur to you that I may no longer have the receipt - Or - what...oops - other "documentation" do you require? A Space Station satellite photo of me using it, and... oh, dear... I see it falling.from the sky, high from the bathroom. Uh oh. It's hit the ground. And oh, dammit - it no longer works properly.

"Oh damn Igov - Grigor's unit doesn't work at co.nz anymore. ABORT! ABORT! ABORT! Mission ABORT! SCTI.-won't honour a simple request for a damanged shaver. Bugger! "

"Now we won't have any bolsch for supper tommorrrow. The Amerikanaas won't allow us! *sad face* And I've come to like sushi.. *sigh*"

Hi Pritty Ladie... I'm in the space team.

You?

Let us meet in space Speece Luvvie.

"Oh Greg... I love you. $20.00."

END

PS - She said yes and we all died. (well at least I did - but at least I didn't pay before I died!)

Hello Claims Team.

Here's the deal - you send me the insurance payout (payout from yourselves... NZ$450.00), - okay - I accept your deduction of 75 bucks. You could have made it clearer, but of course it isn't your fa and I'll send you the damaged item. You can deduct your "excess" fee. And I'll deduct the postage or courier costs.

I mean really, its not like I'm asking for a $100 000.00. (PS) NZ husbands don't come cheap lately!

Below is a summary of my claim...

Yours sincerely,

Greg

If I could respond to your response on behalf of Southern Cross:

Dear Sir,

As stated in the previous e-mail, we require proof of your purchase.

If you were to simply state that you could not find your receipt, we would endevour to help you. As is, we simply have to assume that you still have the shaver on you. Well, as the photo from our Private Investigators show, that bulge in your pants cannot be natural. It looks distinctly shaver-like.
