Insurance Issues
My thanks to everyone who offered advice re insurance companies and charges. I did think that someone with connections to AMI would have alerted the company to their bad press. Seemingly they don't care, and the only response I have had from them is a text to tell me my premium ($552.46)is overdue. No matter, as I have tossed them and gone to AA, where I am now paying $364.27 for $50,000 of cover. When my car and house become due, I will also look at AA, and have a multi discount added. It is obvious from the many comments posted that we are being ripped off yet again by another group of our fellows. Perhaps the Gov'mint will start another new enquiry for us that will also make no difference to anything!
Regards,
Peter Bradley
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
