FTO AUSTRALIA

I used to be insured with famous... I had a couple of not-at fault accident, and the car ended up being write-off. But i got paid out quick. In fact, they rushed me to give them the required paperwork so they can send me the cheque quickly...

with the 1st accident, they didn't even have an inspection, they just use the photos provided by my smash repairer, and the claim was approved.

The 2nd time around, they had someone at my repairer to assess the car, and claimed it to be a write-off. I ended up paying $2200 to buy back the car and use the pay out money to repair the car. (mind u, my car was "quite" modified and none of the modifications were reported)

To some up, my experience with "famous" is quite good.

it must be a ass assesser u had, unfortunately...

just to share my experience..

anyway, good luck with the claim.

I think there is some stuff that you are leaving out here/not telling us but anyway...

Your insurance company has had an assessment done on the cost to repair your car. You can get a copy of this and it'll give you a good idea of how much it's going to cost you to repair your car on your own.

Even if the tires are bald, they will take that in to consideration but are unlikely to decline the claim just because of this.

Ask the insurance company for the report and decline letter.

How long has all this been going on for?

Feel free to ask any more questions.

i know its an old thread but...... what happened? i read everything written coz i was bored lol

i want to know to now

Well Amazing FTO friends,

Finally everything was settled later on, insurance comp. approved my claim and paid in full amount. Certainly I had to fight a lot & proved logically that it wasn't just coz of bad tyres otherwise I could have problem immediately just outside my home not after 25 kms away from home )

Many Thanks for all your great support & my apologies for not informing you all. (I went overseas and spent claim $$$, hahhaaaa)

Cheers!!!

well it's good that it worked out at least

haha cool i guess they think most people will just roll over and not try and get their money
