Last week was a FAIL for American Collectors Insurance. The adjuster who has my case really didn't accomplish anything except to piss me off really bad.......bad enough to cuss at him. I normally wouldn't do that. He told me to take my truck (that doesn't roll) to a shop of my choice and put it on a lift so the estimator could look at it closer. He went on to say that I could have that shop start doing the repairs and that they were ready to pay 7k to 8k to have it fixed. (Insert expliatives here) This was a slap in the face. I literally exploded with classy words. He was very snobby and matter-of-fact about it. I told him fine, I'll put it on a rack, but they will pay for everything. He said they would reimburse me............well that ain't gonna work..........they want me to have the truck disassembled by the shop at $85 dollars an hour. No sir. I hung up and threw a few things and b*tched for a while. An hour later I called back and asked the lady who answered to put me in touch with that guys manager, she did. The manager made everything a little more clear. He has built a couple of trucks and understood exactly what I was saying. I agreed to have my truck towed and put on a lift. He explained that for a truck valued and insured for $40k they wanted to make sure that the damages totalled the truck without any doubt, that sounds reasonable to me. Friday Slick will be on a lift for the estimator to look up her skirt. + + + Until the next update, keep on truckin.
