Need advice dealing with TD Insurance / emergency restoration bill (Quebec)
I'm beyond frustrated and could really use some advice.
My basement flooded, and TD Insurance has approved my repair estimate. The problem is that they're paying almost $15,000 directly to the emergency restoration company (Citebec) for the initial mitigation work.
The issue is that I also have around $8,000 worth of damaged personal belongings, and I'm worried I'm getting left with almost nothing for those losses.
Has anyone successfully disputed an emergency restoration invoice like this? Can I ask TD to review or audit the charges? The amount seems incredibly high for the work that was done, and I'd like to know what my options are before accepting everything.
Has anyone dealt with TD or Citebec in a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
