B*stard Rego!!!

[hazrd]

all i can say in regards to health insurance... we have had about $9k paid in medical expenses for my missus, and all we had to pay was our $250 excess...

no complaints from me... yet



hang on... this thread was about rego

[mzsammi]

firstly victorian rego is not all the same ... i paid $549 my friend paid 600ish for a her mini cooper turbo, she paid the same as my friend with a lancer evo. he lives in narree warren and we both live in kinglake . so work that one out. lol

the biggest killer with rego is the tac part, thats insurance . so if u end up all smashed up or break a finger in a accident ur covered.

looks like its changed from the 1st july this year - metro areas is 612.30 per year for rego, country areas are 567.20

so depending on when your rego was due this year and where you live, you could possibly have 3 different amounts.

Yeah a friend of mine pays like $300 for country rego, but yeah heard it's increasing!!!

if you think insurance companies are bad in terms of car/health/home insurance - have a look at what the insurance companies have done in the US with the healthcare..... I hope to God the PBS lasts forever in this country - because if we had to depend on insurance companies getting us our medications affordably here - well we wouldn't...

kirssn, no matter what you say, at the end of the day, insurance companies are a business, and a business needs to make money. Insurance companies only make money if they don't pay people out - so yeah one day I might need to make a ctp claim - but you guys will take me through the ringer before you give me the "claim successful" stamp.

We have about 2% of our account customers get billed straight to an insurance company/TAC for accident/workcover etc - those 2% of accounts give us I reckon 60% of the headaches, because you have little minions with a God complex and a red pen who reject claims left right and centre because we dared charge cost + 0.1% extra markup. I reckon if I had to deal with 100% of claims going through insurance companies (like it is in the states) my whole day would be spent writing letters about why its been charged this much and just shut the f*ck up and pay the money....

and then people wonder why I refuse to open any brand new TAC/Workcover accounts. Then they deal with it themselves and understand....

i get what you're saying but in terms of where i work..... for CTP we distribute on behalf of a general insurer - we don't actualy sell nor deal with the claims process.... we don't make anything from CTP either.
