      I’m the party of *** ** ***** ** an accident. There is a huge damage to my vehicle, and my insurance company is Aviva. I called Aviva to open claim the next workday and signed the work order for allowing the body shop to do their work. After few days, Aviva sent me the repair approved letter. Comparing to the value of vehicle, I asked the advisor to reconsider the option of total loss. A ***** *** ******* mistake was found in appraisal, I contacted appraiser and my advisor and they didn’t respond. I didn’t know whats going on so I submitted the first complaint. The body shop also received the repair file and they see it as to start the process of repairing, so they made purchases for parts and called me to notify. I thought Aviva asked them to keep repairing, so I didn’t ask them to stop. A few days later, a specialist contacted me with a total loss approved but they said I need to pay the restocking fee. **** **** *** **** ***** *** *** **** ** ***** ** **** ** * **** *********** Once I told them I refused to pay, they would stop replying to my messages. Yesterday, the body shop contacted me as Aviva couldn’t be reached since Jan 4 and if we can’t pay for the restocking fee before the next Monday, the cost will rise from around 9k to over 20k. After the shop sent the file to Aviva, they used this as * ****** **** if I don’t pay, they won’t go to the next step to write off the vehicle. When I asked Ombudsman office for FPL to seek help, they said it’s under review. I would say it is not acceptable **** ***** ****** ** for I should be responsible for the restocking fee since I was trying to contact them all the time even when they didn’t reply. *** *** ** ****** *** ** *** **************** *** *** *********** My appeal is that Aviva should pay the restocking fee in full ****** ****** and talk to me ASAP about compensation for the vehicle. Thank you for your help in advance and please don’t hesitate to contact me (via email) if further information is needed!

      Dealing with AVIVA has been the worst. I understand a lot of what I am about to write isn't directly Aviva's fault, but they made it so we could not use our preferred mechanic and have done nothing to make it better or help in any way. When we brought up the issues, they told us it was our issue to sort out... We had a deer strike on one of our company trucks. there was very little body damage to the truck but there was damage to the rad, and maybe more mechanical issues, so we wanted our mechanic (who does the maintenance on our vehicles) to look at it. After way to much back and forth Aviva basically pushed us to have to use some one else who Aviva deemed as "qualified" to do the repair work. Because we wanted to use someone they didn't "know" they sent out a appraiser, to waste more time, annoy the mechanic, then repeatedly ask them to do her job, this is where our Mechanic just gave up, and we had to use one of their approved vendors. The repair work took about 4 WEEKS longer, and it is still not fully complete. When we got the truck back the autobody shop did not refill the coolant. The truck was driven about 1000kms before we had time to get it in to check on it. the dealership then asked us if the truck was in a accident recently, because they had to put in 13L of coolant (that system holds 14.3 L). we are still missing parts to complete the repair, and we also had to pay out of pocket for the diagnosis, and the coolant. Not to mention the possible damage to the engine, time to swap out the truck again with personal one, lost revenue due to that truck not being chargeable onsite.
