I've just seen your other post about your car being a Cat C

Are you going for a VIC check?

If it is a VIC check, that means Vehicle Identity Check. The check takes around 5 minutes. All they check is that the chassis number on the car matches the one they have on DVLA records. And they charge you £50 for the privilege!

Don't worry about a VIC check. It's nothing at all to do with the standard or quality of repair, it is just checking the numbers match up.

Good Luck!

Cheers wont be till after the weekend now tho as mad busy with work etc etc

Am I correct in thinking if it's Cat bla bla, and you need to do a claim they refuse? So there happy to insure you, but wont payout etc

Remember hearing it, but not sure if it's just a myth

Thats a new one on me.

As far as I know as long as youve made the insurance company aware its a former write off and its been checked to be safe and roadworthy if you do need to claim there's no reason it should be tricky.

Saying that I generaly dont claim on insurance. I normaly let a solicitor sort it out. Why screw your insurance by having to declare a claim if its the other guys fault? Granted if you have to make a claim gainst say your car being stolen etc then yeah you gotta do it

Even if you're claiming against somebody else's insurance and they're 100% liable, you still have to declare it, it's all on a database. No matter what incidents you have while driving, you always have to report them to your insurance, if you don't, essentially your whole policy is void and a waste of money.
