Almost a year?

At what point does insurance step in and consider it a write off or something?

A year making it "unrepairable"

Insurance is, unfortunately, not being particularly helpful about it. Their latest email suggested contacting the media about it.

Ugh, that's terrible.

Are you going to do that? Wait for the whole year for greater impact?

[–] Stillhart@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doubtful, but it's possible. I've started getting legal advice from family friend lawyers. And there's at least one class action on this very issue I'll am looking into.

Well, good luck with all that.

There should seriously be a law around repair times. There's no possible scenario where that's acceptable.
