Car written off. Company provided by insurance company to scrap the car is requesting the keys, service history, wheel lock key, etc.

Does that sound remarkably dodgy? Surely they don't need that to scrap it - sounds like they want to put it back on the road.

Couldn't they do that without the keys/service history, etc?

Anyone know if their requests are standard procedure for scrapping or if they are pulling a fast one?

roger - they will sell the car for salvage and get some cash back. if the motor is to be scrapped, it will be cat B (break only).

how bad was the damage? do u know if the insurance company classed it as cat C or D? if it werent too bad, u could always buy the salvage back from the insurance company - especially if u hold all the service history and both keys, then the salvage is worth a bit more.

a word to the wise - NEVER, EVER trust insurance companies. do not believe a word they say. they are low life vermin and will take every opportunity to shaft u, their customer.

I could be why legally need all the documentation to "destroy" the car.
Otherwise you have a set of documentation you could use for some ill gotten gains.
