Van got written off by a 3rd party in December. Their fault, no messing. Still not been paid out and they don't seem forthcoming with a courtesy vehicle (I declined at first as i didn't need one and thought it would only take a couple of weeks)
Any advice? I feel like they are taking the piss out of me so would love to fuck them financially.

Not sure what you can do, but I know you can claim for taxi's or rental cars up until they pay out.
I'd phone the insurance company up and ask for a car as you have no form of transport.

Exactly, I just didn't see the point in fucking about for the sake of a couple of week, one of them I was on holiday for.

Consult camps solicitors with a look to getting them involved for a pay out. It shouldn't take that long. One of my exes had a company doing all the RTA insurance claims and slips trips falls etc. She had clients where the insurance had contested argued offered and made final payment all in less time than what you said they have taken so far..

When I had my crash I was making about 3 calls a day for the best part of 2 weeks till it was sorted. Just keep calling till you get it sorted
