Rather not say where the property is at this point, just in case. But as things pan out, I will be more specific Melbournian. Really not sure at the end of the day whether or not that matters an awful lot though, as this situation really can happen to any of us, irrespective of where our...

Thanks Terry

That's why it was hand delivered and it stated I had 10 days to respond! Probably hoping I wouldn't get time:rolleyes:, then in which case, they would probably automatically win. It says it's a writ?? Toni

Remember also attached to that legal letter was a "form 28 - filing confirmation notice" in the county court of victoria, I did mention it earlier, should have put the "in the country court of victoria bit in, I don't know what it is. But it's looks pretty official. Are these forms just as...

If they've got nothing to lose, then you're probably right, they probably spit them out and eventually get lucky:mad: I think you're all probably right, I'll kick back now and focus on other things, I can't do much more, other than allow the insurance company to do their job and hopefully the...

This was one thing I was very clear on! I didn't ring or discuss this with anyone (other than the insurance company) so I couldn't be accused of saying the wrong thing. The first thing I did was contact the insurance company and email all documents straight to them. Very hard not to...

Apparently this Litigation company is one of those "if you don't win, you don't pay" companies. I've read the policy wording Evand, and it appears all good, I'm with Comminsure Again, though, she must have been pretty convincing for them to consider it. I have put her name up on the...

my daughter signed for a document "Filing Confirmation Notice" with a legal covering letter advising of their intention to sue and gave us 10 days to respond. The whole thing is making me sick. This notice was our first inkling that there was a problem! All this makes me never want to own...

would I be best to leave this to the insurance company now, or should I be vigilant in obtaining copies of these report from my previous agents and taking photos of the premises?

It's rather sad Marg, if what you're saying is true and I don't doubt it, that people who are obviously playing the system, get away with it. Very disappointing:cool: and worse still we are left with the higher premiums as a result.

This property is in the state of victoria. The tenant assures me that he has only had two gatherings around christmas time and he definately has never invited or had a person in his home by this name. The alleged incident happened two years ago

She claims there were uneven pavers in the courtyard, I have no idea where this courtyard is; i.e. front or back? but in either case to my knowledge is untrue. Interestingly though, to suggest that she's a friend of the tenant, when in fact, she obviously isn't, wouldn't that throw all...

Thanks all, I feel a little better having read all your comments, I have landlords insurance with cba $20,000,000 cover. I know it all sounds ridiculous, but hey, I heard a story of a burglar tripping over a roller skate in a house he was robbing and as a result injured his back and...

Not sure, all I know is they're not asking for the excess payment yet, but are investigating the allegations to ascertain whether or not it will be a claim.:(

My biggest concern here is if the Insurance company believe it's a scam, then will they still take it on or will it be then left upto me to fight in court? I would suspect if it was a genuine claim then that would be differant, as they may or maynot be liable under their policy wording, but...

That's what I'm hoping, was even hoping maybe she's got the wrong address, but really scary stuff. what if I didn't have the same tenant, and couldn't locate my previous tenant? This silly old so and so might have even got away with it.:eek: Do people actually try this on and get away with it?

We have had an issue with one of our properties, wherein supposedly this elderly woman claims she fell and hurt herself in the courtyard 2 years ago and has now decided to sue. She claims she was retired at the time and had entered the property as a friend of the tenant. But the tenant has...
