What can I say. The first 2 weeks after my car accident (non-fault) Winns were amazing. Quickly sorting everything. Once that 2 weeks cooling off period passed WOW. My eyes were opened to the absolute shambles of Winns.
Since then, I have had to handle my own case, calling for updates, getting documents to send to medical experts, and more recently involving a legal ombudsman when a complaint was disregarded.
Winns sent me a timeline of work completed by them in response to my complaint. Imagine the shock that most of the timeline was what I HAD DONE. They had admitted neglecting the case for around 3 months and offered £100 compensation. I declined and took it to the legal ombudsman.
After over 2 years of waiting for progress, I was still waiting for a pain specialist appointment. I was advised they had no idea how long this would take.
I have grown so sick of Winns I have instructed them to settle asap, which means I will not receive the payout for the long term injuries I have. And to let the Legal Ombudsman deal with the rest.
However....
Despite them not having received compensation. They have marked my file as compensation received (I have proof of this) Which now stops me being supported from the ombudsman as it looks to them the case has closed, meaning I have nothing, with no legal support.
AVOID WINNS!!
I now expect Winns to call me frantically wanting this review removed.
