“DO NOT USE IF TOU HAVE A CHOICE”

★☆☆☆☆

written by MOTABILITYDRIVER on 17/02/2024

“Hi I had a non fault crash in a motability vehicle it was the august of the year we were in and out of lockdowns like a yo yo. We were not in lockdown when we crashed but we’re back in lockdown by the time I had to have a medical. I asked for treatment with a chiropractor for myself and my 2 children and for some X-rays or MRI scans to be done because I could barely walk due to the pain in my head, neck and back. My 2 children also had back and neck injury’s. Our treatment was arranged for by the insurance company via carpenters. My children didn’t get any at all and I was treated by the same physiotherapist a week after I had been treated by him via the nhs. This was done via video due to lockdown and all I was given was exercises to complete, the same exercises he had given me a week beforehand. If I had been treated within a quicker timescale I might have been able to see someone in person. The solicitors were called carpenters. They sent my daughter a child letters to go for a medical at a certain address and when I queried it because we were in lockdown I was told to make sure I went to the appointment or I would be billed for a missed appointment. When we arrived at the address everywhere was obviously locked up as we were in a lockdown. I was then told her appointment was actually a video appointment and I was not to miss any more or I would be charged. She missed the next video appointment due to me being taken to A and E in an ambulance and she had to come with me. She was a child at the time and I didn’t even think about the appointment until we got home the next day. I did phone the solicitors to tell them but they said I should have let them know at least 24 hours before. I explained that it was an emergency. The next appointment again for her was missed due to not getting the appointment letter until after the appointment date. Again I explained but they implied I was falsifying facts due to me forgetting about the appointments, when I told them I didn’t receive many of the letters they sent about my daughter I was again called a liar. I reminded carpenters that they also had a file for me and a file for my other daughter and we had not missed any appointments so it was out of the ordinary for me to miss any. I am an Army Veteran, I arrive 15 minutes early for most appointments and consider it very rude to just not turn up. I welcomed the appointments for all 3 of us as it gave me something to do other than school by zoom. When Carpenters wrote to my daughter to tell her they would not represent her any longer I didn’t have a choice but to also change my other daughter and myself to another solicitors too, I had been extremely poorly with what I now know to be occipital neuralgia caused by the crash so I couldn’t cope with much especially an insurance claim which should have been quite straightforward. The other side admitted fault and agreed to pay for medicals etc. i did try in vain to make contact with my claims handler but they never returned my calls or emails. I had no choice but to use Carpenters because it’s the one the motability scheme insist you use. Please if you are given a choice do not use them.

My claim is very similar to yours. It was August 2022. Once again Motorbility gave me their details. I sent a complaint to RSA which were the insurers at the time, how they could recommend such a company to their clients. They must of contacted them. All I got back was a nasty reply from Carpenters. Says it all. Still no further on, it doesn't seem to bother them.Why do solicitors abuse their position.

“dealing with accident claim for three years now ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by TamiaClay on 20/09/2023

I am most angry with this company as they do not get back to me with any updates, I have constantly had to chase them for information regarding my claim , its been over two years and still no resolution, also my insurance has doubled because of it as even though its a no fault claim its still showing as unresolved/ongoing which bumps up current insurance policy

“REPORT THEM ASAP CARPENTERS ARE A DISGRACE ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 477McClure on 07/08/2023

This company MUST MUST MUST be investigated there is something wrong with the way they behave - it is likely they are skimming off innocent peoples compensation and trying to slow things down so things never get done - They inflate figures for treatment and then try to get you to threaten you that you may have to agree to pay for your own treatment when pushed they start to try to bully saying better not go to court as Judges often rule against claimant - There is really something suspicious and that is why I have already spoken to the legal ombudsman please report this unscrupulous company as there are thousands of reviews all saying the same things -money gone missing bacs not paid compensation offers very low ( do they keep the rest)? Are they in cahoots with insurance companies are they in cahoots with the medical experts are they in cahoots with the treatment suppliers - how can they justify the large fees they supposedly charge driver admitted liability its a win win still waiting for treatment - phone calls never returned IT SOUNDS like there is a massive sham going on - This is the number for the legal ombudsman CALL THEM AND COMPLAIN I am trying to get my insurance company to agree to find another solicitor as I know they are hopeless -some obvious made up reviews are they made up by staff members the questions are endless the road never ends with this bunch of jammy rogers REPORT THEM

I can not stress enough how much you shouls AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. I would give them minus star rating due to the fact that they lost me £9K in compensation, rang me some 4 hours after i had an head impact, failed to look after me knowing what meds i was on due to the accident, used specialists that contracdicted themselves and they fail to look after their staff memeber who were having personnal issues while dealing with my case. You are just a number on a carosel and treated as a commodity rather than a person. I had to let it drop due to the fact that it was having a negative affect on my healt

“Do not use”

★☆☆☆☆

written by White13 on 26/07/2022

I would have given them given no stars I am sick of waiting for an answer to my messages, emails and phone calls . I was hit in November 2021 the other party admitted liability in march this year and I'm still waiting for them to do what they are contracted to do . I stupidly thought when the other party admitted it would be sorted quickly I was wrong . I was given my own solicitor but have never managed to speak to her in 8 months . I will never recommend this company to anyone to use.

“1 star too many”

★☆☆☆☆

written by FrankieReid on 27/06/2022

This company do not seem to have anyone answering calls or emails. Using the my claim is a waste of time as nobody responds. I last heard from them in March for a loss of earnings form to be completed for a not at fault accident back in November, despite calls, emails and messages asking for an update you hear nothing back. How can a company operate so badly? I wish I could have chosen a different company from the start.

Carpenters or jack of no trade? I am also awaiting to receive update and settlement from a not at fault rta from October 2020, that I made. it is now may 2022 queens jubilee. I too would like the celebrate, as, yes, this is an important date. however, carpenters are forgetting the people who are undergoing unnecessary stress, prolonging and withholding information, the company is such a mess to all of you who are walking in my shoes. I feel your disgruntlement. I think it's time we all get our full settlement. I would like to know if you have live human staff working for your company and do they have a heart amen.

All about the money with them, if they can’t make it with you they forget about you it seems. December 2021 was last I spoke to anyone it’s now may 2022!!!!
