Is it right for an insurance company to ask for your financial details when making a claim?
I had a boat stolen recently and am in the middle of making an insurance claim. They have assigned a private investigator to the case and he has asked to see all my banking details. Are they allowed to do this? It’s confidential information that i would rather not disclose. Thanks in advance.
Yes, they have the right to do this. It is part of their investigation. They will first determine if you had anything to do with the "theft" of the boat. If you are not involved, then they will advance the investigation. The reason they are doing this is because it wouldn’t be the first time someone made their boat disappear to get out from under it. Not saying you are guilty, just pointing out that these are often insurance fraud cases.
