what was your first package

[BobtheBass]

The high net worth guys like Chubb and Hiscox were still ok when I got out, and Ageas (Fortis as were) were decent as well. Apart from that the rest wore differing amounts of clothes from "Pirates Are Us". I think I got out a week before my nervous breakdown, sorry to hear bout yours and trust all is now well.

I can understand why adjusters do everything on the cheap now though, their fees having been chipped down to almost nothing by insurers. I can remember dealing with a £125,000 fire claim with all that entails for a £150 flat fee......
