That's odd, as a test I did a quote for 3rd party and they don't ask for insured amount.

How long ago was it? Can you still raise a dispute?

I use NGx paperless to store our docs, it also has full text pdf search. https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx

Thanks for your insights! Yes I've found it weird they keep referring to the insured amount.

Will keep it in mind for further comms. Thanks again for your detailed post, this is all new to me.

And sorry, yes brother is okay. Felt sore the next day, but nothing major.

Thanks! Nah, didn't fix it yet, but will get it done at the same time, assuming it's not total loss. It's annoying to wait days :(

It's a bit confusing how it works. We have comprehensive insurance for an insured amount of $35k, so they say they will pay either the repairs, or $35k. But if we had 3rd party only, there is no insured amount, they would just get the money from the 3rd party insurer; think then it's just market value.

We've now realised that the price of similar cars has gone up so our insured amount won't pay for the same car. If we had 3rd party only, think we would have been better off.

You've got a good memory. Yes, it is.

Stressful here, my brother has been in an accident in our vehicle, someone else at fault. However still waiting since Tuesday to hear from our insurer AA with next steps. Really don't want it to be totalled.

Yeah makes sense re the woke part. Guess we'll have to educate our kids ourselves.

A very depressing government. Seems they only have reverted changes without any positive new changes.

Yup, Act has got this one in: "Explore allowing home builders to opt out of requiring a building consent provided they have long-term insurance for their work"

And for schools, NZ First: "Refocus the curriculum on academic achievement and not ideology, including the removal and replacement of the gender, sexuality, and relationship-based education guidelines". What does the last bit mean? Remove and then replace? You can't remove something and then replace it. No more sex education?

A very depressing list of changes, nothing positive. I still don't understand why anyone would vote for one of these parties.

What do you mean by jailbroken stuff?

We've recently got copilot at M365 and so far it's been a mixed bag. Some handy things but also some completely wrong information.

True, paperwork can be quite annoying.

Valid point regarding excess. It does make having an accident a bit less stressful when you have a lower excess.

Thanks Dave.

Thanks, that's what I'm thinking.

About 800 to fix. 500 excess. Thinking to just get it fixed myself.

It's more than a tiny scratch, definitely not something I can fix myself.

Sorry!

I just found out that Bing was wrong. Cancer Assist is a different addon, which is paying out an amount when you have a qualifying cancer, e.g. to take care of family. It's paid out directly to you. That's why they only cover certain cancers...

Apparently something about the CEO. With Firefox not working properly and no support for adblockers on Chrome I don't see any other alternative.

I've the same thing. This is a very old issue and it's still not resolved. It seems Android prefers Chromium based browsers as it doesn't happen there. I tried everything, nothing helped. So had to revert to Brave.

Thanks for the insights! Makes sense indeed. Guess we'll switch to SC :)
