The credit hire world, it seems, is never far from controversy. The latest news in this area suggests that this pattern is set to continue. Right from the dawn of the industry to present day, insurers have been looking for increasingly inventive ways to challenge credit hire claims. For the most part the Courts have seemed reluctant to accede to these arguments. However, in cases where claimants have not been impecunious and thus, in theory, able to afford to hire a replacement vehicle out of their own pocket, insurers have enjoyed a good deal of success challenging the rates of hire presented by the various credit hire companies.
