fuck icbc... total bullshit... they arent there to help you.. there are just there to do the bare minimum and/or screw you over....

I have 0 claims over 8 years and much of that time with multiple vehicles insured. Last month I had a smash and grab on my Jeep and the window deductible was about the same cost of fixing the window ($300) so my insurance was useless.

I hope that one day when I need my insurance for something bigger, they'll be there for me though. This kind of thing makes me weary that if something bigger happens, I won't be taken care of.

It feels terrible when you pay for thousands of dollars in insurance coverage and you don't get any help when something goes wrong.

fuck ICBC

seirously no joke, my family has been fucked over by them TWICE now. wasting my fucking time going to court for some absolutely Bullshit non at fault reason is seriously a fucking waste of time.


fuck u ICBC, no seriously fuck u
ppl run redlight and i could be at fight, go fucking figure.


:2finger::2finger::2finger:

lol selling the car without the owner's consent....ICBC u guys are great :thumbsup:

this is the time i wish US laws kick in, so ppl can sue the fuck out of ICBC when they get raped in the ass

.

.

They do this because they know people don't spend a lot of time or money on it.

Where as I'm totally suing ICBC for the next however long it takes.

Damn thats harsh!

We can't count on our government for anything, and we cant even count on ICBC to pull through..
Who can we count on these days?

The Dark Knight - vancouver needs a hero

Thanks for posting your experience, Lomac.

Of course, the TENS of THOUSANDS of efficiently handled claims never make the news. Just like the TENS of THOUSANDS of good police actions that go on. All these negative stories just feed the entitled and self-righteous.

With this in consideration, the family in the newsarticle probably is right in seeking additional compensation -- but not nearly what the family is thinking that they're entitled to.

Cant count on christian bale either, he'll just flip out at anyone who gets in his way and threaten to smash their lights

i wonder what kind of insurance package the dark knight's bat-tank-mobile has.... lol

Well according to top gear that car is street legal. And it also has a corvette engine in it so i would assume it cost the same as any other kit car out there with a LS1.

You're definitely right, all I was saying is the family is being unreasonable and thinks because ICBC made a mistake they can ask now for whatever amount they want without taking into consideration what the implications are.

Exactly. ICBC made a $3,000 mistake. And ICBC is going to pay them back for it. But these assholes somehow think they've won the lottery and are entitled to much more.

You wanna know why your insurance rates are so high? Because of people like this who think their fucking POS car is somehow worth more than twice the market value. Boo fucking hoo.

Tell you what, let's have ICBC pay out everyone twice the amount they should be getting. Then we'll see everyone on here bitching next year about the 100% increase in their premiums, now that ICBC is paying out double on every claim. :rolleyes:

sue icbc, fuck

BECAUSE HE WANTS HIS CAR BACK AND NEVER SIGNED TO GET SALVAGED

abc

^^They owe him the market value of the vehicle and that's what they're trying to pay him. No court is going to award the family with greater than market value. Time for the family to suck it up.

I think everyones got the right idea...icbc effed up, but at the same time the family is almost trying to milk it or something, but i can still sympathize. none of this would've happened if icbc just followed thier OWN damn rules

to be honest i've never been screwed over by icbc, they've been good to me (when i was insured with them), but with all the horror stories i hear about, and friends getting ripped off....i'd be suprised if anyone here honestly felt like they were in good hands. insurance shouldn't be a game of russian roulette, and being assigned 50/50 liability shouldn't feel like 100/100.

icbc bunch of fucking tools

i hate icbc

No you don't.

With a maximum discount, $1900/yr buys you a considerable amount of coverage. You voted with your wallet. You love ICBC.

time for that family to get a lawyer.

I handle claims for customers at work and have done probably over 100 over the years. Not one single customer of ours has ever been "screwed over" by ICBC. Neither have I or any friends/family I know. In fact, most of them have gotten more than what they really should.

Again, it's always the fucking whiners that complain while leaving out details of what really happened. I bet hard cash that the people who whine have one of the following: driving their parents car without proper insurance, driving their car but insured under parents to save money, told ICBC the car was for recreational use when they in fact drive it to work everyday, modded their car like crazy and didn't buy additional coverage and so on.



Here's one example I just finished. Classic car had a minor fire. Needs some interior work, new wiring and some dash repairs. Fire extinguisher chemicals make a real mess of things, and they did far more damage then the fire. All the metal on the engine is pitted/etched from the extinguisher. ICBC says the customer is entitled to have the car in the same condition it was before the fire. So in addition to the fire repairs, the customer is getting:

- All engine bay parts cleaned and plated (and there are a shitload of them).
- New head gaskets (heads can't be cleaned while on the engine), which also includes all the other work that goes along with doing a head job).
- Valve covers being send out for cleaning and anodizing.
- Carbs getting rebuilt, cleaned and anodized/plated.
- Ohter misc stuff.

Total cost of this work is around $11,000 over and above what the actual fire damage was. ICBC signed off on the work right away.


To you fuckers that complain about being screwed, I'm calling you out. I guarantee you're leaving out details cuz if you told the truth then everyone will tell you you got what you deserved.

A lawyer for a fucking POS Integra? Are you kidding me?

ICBC should go out and buy the exact same car in the same condition with the same wheels/tires and give that to them. That'll shut them up. I bet ICBC could get one in excellent condition for half of what the whining family is asking for ($3K vs $6K). The family wants cash since they see this as an opportunity to come out way ahead.

Fuck them, I don't need my insurance rates going up to support fuckers like these.

First accident I was ever in, I was making a left turn into a corner-store parking lot and was creamed by a speeding delivery van who decided he was going to pass me on the left despite there being a double-yellow line and oncoming traffic. He admitted to me at the time that he'd had "over 20 accidents before". ICBC decided that I was 100% at fault... because, they said, I was making an "illegal U-turn".

When I asked the adjuster how he'd determined this, he asked me, "were you going to go back in the direction you were coming from?", I said, "Yeah, eventually..." (you know, after PARKING, and GETTING OUT, and SHOPPING for a while). He said, "Well that's a U-turn."

Explain how that works.

Explain to me too, how when I rear-ended (read: NUDGED) a POS Tempo at a stop sign with my POS Accord, her adjuster determined there was "over $600 damage and possibly a bent frame" when my estimator, after a careful inspection of my Accord's front end, said there was NO sign it had ever hit ANYTHING.
