Unhappy about inflated claim from a third party

Hi Mr Tan Kin Lian,

Can you help me to investigate this traffic accident claim from NTUC.

My wife met with an traffic accident with a motorbike. The motorbike has since lodged a 3rd party claim against me.

I am a shocked by the value that is being claimed and am wondering if this is a
case of inflated claims from a dishonest workshop.

I have taken photos of the damaged bike and understood from friends that a used bike of similar features cost an approximately $3000. The value that is being claimed is $2000. Repairs cost from bike workshops have quoted a nominal amount of below $300 based on the photos.

(Details of the case deleted)

Is there any way for me to understand why the 3rd party claim will be so expensive? How do I know if these claims are valid ? I am finding it difficult to resolve this matter.

It seems that the dishonest workshop will profit from this exercise. NTUC will suffer a bad reputation by allowing such workshops to make tihs claim. I feel that your policyholder has been dishonest from the start as he demanded payment from my wife.

Dear GL

Can you show me the letter that you have received. Is it from NTUC Income or from a workshop directly?

If it is from a workshop engaged by my policyholder, this matter will be outside of our control.

I suggest that you should let your insurance company handle this third party claim.
