‘There is a great injustice being done by insurance companies’- Skelton-Cline
Many policy holders have been venting their frustration on social media, with many complaining that they continue to suddenly be told they are under-insured or don’t qualify for certain insurance.
This matter was addressed briefly on Honestly Speaking on ZBVI 780 AM on Tuesday November 7, 2017 by host of the show, Mr Claude O. Skelton-Cline, who urged persons having difficulties with insurance providers and banks to record all their experiences.
“We continue to be concerned about what is taking place with our people as it relates to the insurance companies and the banks. I want to encourage citizens to keep a catalogue or chronology of how many times you are in the insurance office, who you are meeting with, what transpired…” Mr Skelton-Cline stated.
Great injustice
The former General Manager of the BVI Ports Authority added that there is “a great injustice being done from where I sit,” and encouraged persons not to take their challenges for granted or to “bend or buckle under the stress…”
“I think that there is a great injustice and disservice that is being done, and the frustration that so many people are communicating to me as I pedestrian the streets around here, we don’t want you to lose track of the frustration that you are having because in the aftermath of this we very well may need to do something….including class action lawsuit…because it is so disheartening to see how we are being taken advantage of in so many ways with our policies and now the interpretation of those policies, how it is conducive for insurance companies now to heighten your cost on your homes in terms of your appraisal and then to have you then reduced to 50% in terms of the value.”
Mr Skelton-Cline promised his listeners they would be hearing more from him on that matter and “what we might be able to do together.”
Some insurance companies had publicly stated following Hurricane Irma that their customers had nothing to fear as they were capable of handling the many claims.

The insurance company in the g.... is famous for that. 2018 will dictate if they remain in business.
They messing with people house claim. I'll report them to the insurance regulators and then the police. F@&k them!
A director of an Insurance company was on the radio station bragging about the ton of money that he will have in the bank when the dust settled. My message to him is, he can go to hell in a hand basket with his ton of money, we don't care. What your customers want is fairness. But to think of it, FAIRNESS is not associated with him an his company. So go to hell...
While you can control prices why is it you couldent control a 1200watts generator no brand for 500.00 at your company verses the same generator at another company who had more wattage for 300.00 tell the public. You need to stop is it only CTL in business you need to stop. The small businesses need to survive also. You crept before you walk with the help of the people of this territory. Please allow them to creep and walk to. Things and time have changed so please stop going on media speaking if you don't want people to speak negative about your companies. I walked into some other insurances and the tension is not so great like at your company so do the right thing educate the public and customers everyone is not brilliant meet them at their level like when they joined the company. The fact that persons went on media says something.
please keep up the good works
