Severely Mishandled Claim and Damage Caused by Bingle
My experience with Bingle was extremely disappointing. My car was involved in an accident where I was not at fault, yet when I lodged a claim, Bingle attempted to severely lowball me on the value of my well-maintained car. On top of the already low offer, they said they would deduct $1,690, which made no sense given the damage was relatively minor (mainly the bumper and boot).
Because of this, I withdrew my claim. When my car was returned to me, it was in much worse condition than when I handed it over. There was writing on the windscreen with a permanent marker, my number plates were removed, and the screws were missing. I now have to spend around $500 just to remove the marker from the windscreen.
I had to call Bingle every day for weeks just to receive my withdrawal letter. Customer service was rude, dismissive, and repeatedly tried to avoid my requests. When I raised the issue with the complaints department about the damage done to my car, I was told they “couldn’t do anything” and my concerns were ignored.
It felt like Bingle had no intention of repairing my car at all—they simply sent it to a salvage yard and offered an unreasonable amount. I am now considering legal action due to the damage caused to my vehicle and the fact that it was not returned in the same condition it was provided.
Overall, this was a very poor experience, and I would not recommend Bingle based on the way my claim was handled.
