Car insurance company of third party in liquidation

[Guest]

I have an ongoing claim - no fault of my own. (I am dealing here not with an individual driver, but with the company he drives for - a school transport company). My insurance company tells me that the insurers of this company's fleet of vehicles have gone into liquidation. My insurers will not therefore deal with the company that has gone bust. They tell me I must cover the cost of repairs myself and claim on my comprehensive insurance. Is there anything I can still do to recoup costs? or do I just have to accept 'bad luck', pay my excess and accept the impact on my no claims bonus and, probably, my insurance premium?

So make a claim against the company itself, they are liable. But your insurance company should be doing this for you.

I would expect the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to step up to the mark.

You might need to make a court claim against the third party who in turn would require the scheme to pay out, (but not sure exactly the mechanics needed)
