FBRA UPDATE/InsuranceConsumers.org.nz

Dear everyone,

I trust you and your families are well.

We have had a very successful response to our insurance cluster and house status survey. We will be providing a summary to those who took part later in June. We have organised property owners into clusters with respect to who their insurer is.

We have already hosted the very enlightening Vero/AA group meeting for Ferrymead to Sumner this week with around 250 policy holders. We have meetings scheduled for IAG 12 June 2012 and Tower (late June TBA). We will be scheduling area wide meetings with AMI/Southern Response and Lumley in July.

We are collaborating with other residents associations to promote the great work of InsuranceConsumers.org.nz   This has been created by a team of volunteers to help quake-affected Christchurch property owners.

Our residents-based group knows, from personal experience and local surveys, that there are significant differences in the progress experienced by customers of different insurance companies. These differences really matter to all New Zealanders who have insurance.

We're now gathering more information to clarify:
  • the differences or disparities between insurance companies
  • progress (or lack of progress) getting people back into their houses
  • what's happening (or not) to affected property owners
In short, which insurance companies are doing well for us, which are not, and why?

By doing this, we hope to improve the insurance response in Christchurch, and also let all New Zealanders know which insurers will provide effective support when you most need it.

Here is the link to the website - please take the survey and let me know what you think. Just double click below on the link. Please share with your family and friends and take the survey even if you are not in the areas mentioned. http://insuranceconsumers.org.nz/index.htm

Please also take a look at the news and resources information tab. Please do take the time to complete the survey to enable us to gather the best quality information, good or bad so we can help all stakeholders to move forward. Please give us your feedback and your stories on the website.

Best wishes
David Stringer
