    Does this sound dodgy? House flooded, approached by "broker" - 10% of claim

    But would a loss assessor be charging 10% of the settlement?. Any of them that I have looked up do not have a fee according to their website anyway, they get their commission of the insurance company don't they?.

    Does this sound dodgy? House flooded, approached by "broker" - 10% of claim

    I am going to get his name and number off my father tomorrow and contact the Insurance and Financial regulator on Monday morning!. There is no way this person could be legit and to be honest I don't actually think he is a "broker", just some middle mad by the sounds of things.

    06 Diesel Passat with 30K, or 07 Diesel Passat with 50K?

    Not really the SEAT CEO was quoted in Top Gear magazine saying that they are up with Toyota, with regards to reliability. This based on faults per 100 units, not something that is mentioned in the public domain without substance, so the quality over the brands is completely different.

    Does this sound dodgy? House flooded, approached by "broker" - 10% of claim

    Re: Does this sound dodgy Basically whatever my parents get the broker gets 10%, he's acting as a man in the middle, between my parents and the insurance company. All I want to know is if this is a normal practice and if its the normal rate.

    Does this sound dodgy? House flooded, approached by "broker" - 10% of claim

    My parents have recently been flooded. They were given a business card by someone in the family of a "broker".. This guy is 10% commission, I think thats a bit much. The lower ground floor of the house is basically destroyed and it will be a large claim.
