About 2 months ago the local council emptyed my garage by mistake. I had to fill in a claims form for everything that was in the garage. Now their insurance company wants reciepts for everything even though most of the stuff is a few years old and I no longer have the reciepts for.
How can I get around this???
Cheers

you tell them to GTF and you say that the stuff was older than a year and therefore have no requirement for your reciepts.
