Hi
FLOOD DAMAGE and INSURANCE
CARS and insurance for flood damage
Just in case you do not already know, if you have fully
comprehensive cover on your car you are paying a small amount each month to the
Consortio. The Insurance will not pay for your car repairs for the Gota Fria
but the Corsortio will. You need to make a claim with the Consortio. We only
found this out when we were caught out in the last Gota Fria earlier this year
when our car was water logged. The Consortio paid out - we had no problem.
HOUSE and insurance for flood damage.
Exactly the same applies as above. If you have House and
Contents insurance you are also paying a small amount each year to the
Consortio, so you make your claim with the Consortio - as same as you would for
the car above.
Need any further advice come back to me and I will look up
details of our claim with the Consortio so that you have telephone numbers,
addresses of where to claim etc., BUT your Insurance Company should help you
with the relevant claim - must add here ours did not help us, but another
insurance company did. Hence we changed insurance companies when the car
insurance ran out.
Good luck, Remember, if you are insured you are covered, do
not accept that you are not, you are paying the Consortio every month so you
are entitled to claim.
If you are not insurance, sorry I cannot help you.
Hi Jan,
I have been trying to put the message below on any Quesada
forum as an Announcement but I do not think it will let me do that as the
Announcements seem to be made via yourself.
Can you please arrange for the message below to be inserted as everybody
needs to know that if they have insurance they can make a claim via the
Consortio. Their insurance company will
probably tell them they will not pay - this happened to me but I did not give
in.

Good luck,
The Consorcio de Compensación de
Seguros (the Insurance Compensation Consortium, or CCS) is a
compulsory Government catastrophic risk insurance in Spain. It is an insurance
tax charged on prescribed classes of insurance issued by private insurers,
providing cover against a series of extraordinary perils and "political risks”
Note: This Government scheme covers direct
physical damage only. It is expected that a company ensures their
commercial insurance policy covers them against any
resulting Business Interruption losses if necessary.
Below is a link to The Consortio web page [in
English] – you have to make the claim yourself, do not expect your insurance
company to do it. Mine said they did it,
but the Consortio said they never received anything from my insurance company.

Good luck, make the claim, if you have insurance you are covered.
