Insurance Company Paid Me By Mistake

cagney88

I received a cheque this week from my insurance company which I believe to be in error. I had some damage to my car and the insurance company covered the repairs but the cheque appears to be a reimbursement as though I had paid for the repairs myself.

I rang them and explained that I thought that it was an error but they assured me that they don't send out cheques by mistake.

If you are with hibernian they have started sending the cheques to the policy holder for repairs. I got my windscreen done and it was supposed to be done through insurance. A few weeks later I got a cheque from insurance and a bill from repairer.

This seems to happen occasionally, the garage will probably contact the insurance company seeking payment only to be told the cheque was sent to you and they will then seek payment from you.
The garage should probably have been paid directly, contact them and speak to the person who deals with the insurance claims.
