- Write to them and politely *refuse*. You are claiming against *theft*
- not for accident cover. Explain to them that your (fictitious is OK)
- solicitor considers a refusal to settle a breach of contract.
-
- Make sure that you *do* have the right cover before you do any of these
- things though!
-
- Do not put up with poor service, *you* are the customer - remind them of
- this.
-
