Baris did not pay out on a health insurance claim for me even though it was covered in the policy we bought...

Many thanks for your replys.

It looks like 1 a piece for 4 insurance businesses and one own goal!!
Any second recommendations for any of them???

Well ours did pay out and it was mainly because of others incompetence (not theirs) that things were delayed. Once we got involved in the claim process ourselves things moved on pretty quickly and we got a fair outcome.

Ak Sigorta paid a percentage of our claim-we had to agree with them that Hanel's roof construction was crap ...well they called it poor workmanship (understatement of the year)!

We made claims for flood damage and burglary to Fiba sigorta this year. Yes we got paid but we had to prove everything which meant if something was beyond fixing due to water damage, we had to get a report from an engineer to say so....bit of a pain.

I would suggest to everyone that you go around your house taking photo's of all your possessions...makes it a lot easier when trying to prove whats missing after a burglary.
The amazing thing was after 2 claims in one year, our cost to renew the policy was cheaper !!!

All in all we were satisfied with Finans.

Eric - that's great advice - never thought of taking photos.

When you said overall impressed with Finans did you mean Fiba - or is that the name of Finans insurance provider?

Ian

Ps 2 gold stars for AK and 2 for Baris now :D :D

We found Fiba to be total crap:-\. When the roof was severly damaged in the storms last february, apparently the worst in Fethiye for donkeys years, taking 5 ceilings and the contents of the linen cupboard with it we claimed 2,800 YTL. they paid 470 YTL :o. The agents office is on the main Fethiye road near the tuesday market, these were equally useless:(, claiming for water damage and not storm damage, despite their inspector coming out and speaking to the contractor who replaced the whole roof and ceiling and repaired the decore. The pay out didnt cover the cost of the bedding/towels/ etc in the cupboard which was all brand new earlier that year.I visited the agents office from april til september and emailed on a regular basis from the UK and I am still waiting for an explaination of how they arrived at the derisory settlement figure and how they considered this a fair and accurate assessment of my loss.[:(!]

Sorry Ian, yes, Fiba insurance is part of Finans, or so I believe.
