Thank you for allowing us time to investigate your complaint. We can confirm that the matter has now been resolved.
As part of the claims process, once an insurer settles a claim, they may try to recover those costs from the third party responsible. In this case, the recovery process was handled by Hollard, not Sohva.Our review found that the claim was handled in line with standard procedures, and a letter of demand was issued to the third party.
However, we note that you also engaged the third party directly and reached a separate agreement without informing us. This impacted the recovery process that was already underway.It’s also important to note that, based on your cover at the time, there was no benefit for the full market value of the vehicle. The recovery, therefore, related only to the amount already paid by Hollard.
As a result, Hollard has withdrawn the recovery process and closed the matter from their side. You are able to continue engaging the third party directly if you wish.If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us directly on ***.
Kind regards,
Team Sohva
Best regards,
