Replying to: howardru (Jul 20, 2009 7:46 pm) Just Kidding............ However your explicit fraud instructions on collecting the insurance money will be very helpful. By the way, you better hope no one in law enforcement or the insurance industry reads your last post. Frankly, I wouldn't have shared that type of information on a public forum Dead serious........... Best Regards Bert |

Agreed and grateful - the information is very helpful, but you might have put yourself at risk - Thank you for sharing! Meanwhile, I'm sure my friend will get a chuckle out of this...

Replying to: coop15 (Jul 21, 2009 6:42 am) However, there is no fraud at all. The problem I had was due to the potholes that were on the state highway project. I have the proof of the project, road damage and every other piece of evidence signed, sealed and delivered. I also do have those witnesses who were in the car and would swear in court. What's a little embelishment? |

Howard - (Sorry, hope I'm not being too forward by addressing you as such)- Where on the NHTSA site can we find any of these complaints that have been filed? If the Fed's site is anything like the NYS Ed. site (I teach), it'd take four days to probe and find related information. Meanwhile, I've advised my girlfriend to start composing correspondence to Mr. Rinehardt (forthwith)... (smile) Thank you - Coop

Replying to: howardru (Jul 28, 2009 3:18 pm) But email has its own pitfalls - such as the ubiquitous spam trap.  tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
