Hey guys
some of you may know I had a bike crash last sat when a car pulled out on me. I need to claim for a new helmet but I can't find the recipt at all.
It was bought over 16months ago. What can I do?
Did you pay cash or use a card? If you used a card then the insurance should be ok to use the statement of proof.
Maybe if you used a bank /credit card to pay for it,a bank statement might help ???
Do you not know anyone who has the same helmet, bought roughly the same time whose receipt you could use ??
I had the same prob with my bike. You can get a shop to value a new replacement for you in a letter on headed paper. Failing that you can always just take a picture of it and send it along with a catalogue print out of a similar helmet.
My mountain bike was 15 years old when it got ran over by a car. I had no receipt and they still paid out £200 for it, the bike wasn't worth a fiver.
I'd get in touch with a solicitor if you haven't already as insurance companies are useless at recovering costs.
Where did you get it from and (roughly) how much did you pay for it ?
Most shops can tell you how much an item, or it's replacement, costs. I know on our tills we can look to see every time we have sold a certain item so it's easy enough to trace, but Neil_c is right a simple letter from any bike shop (or Halfords) giving a replacement cost will normally suffice, a helmet isn't worth them arguing the cost over.
I should be so lucky
