Insurance Won't Pay Out

[iansterling]

I recently had my garage broken into and my fishing tackle taken, it was a very large amount of top quality tackle and valued at around £11,000, it was listed separately on my insurance.
The insurers are saying without receipts they wont pay out. The gear has been collected over 50 years, being updated as required. What can I do??

Take it to the relevant Ombudsman. Write a scathing letter and CC your insurance company in. Leave bad reviews where appropriate. They'll soon get the message.

if it was listed was it itemised ? research and supply a shopping list with current prices

[LadyCG]

You say it was "valued" at £11,000. If you have a valuation document, surely that's all you need as proof?

have you got photographs of the tackle...even in use. Worth presenting those.
