    What happened to the 'very nice man'? AA sorry after refusing to recover deceased's c




    The AA has apologised after it refused to rescue a customer's car - because he had died three hours earlier.

    Gerald Sleith, 75, had been a member with the car recovery company since 1966 and his membership was paid until August this year.

    He collapsed outside a waterside cafe in Bristol last Saturday and died at the Bristol Royal Infirmary the following day.

    Within hours of his death his friends Dennis Poulston, 66, and wife Diane, 61, went to retrieve his Fiat 500 and discovered the battery was flat.

    So they called the AA but were stunned to be told they could not help because the member was dead.

    Bosses at the breakdown recovery firm have since apologised and said staff should have followed 'compassionate procedures'.

              Its all elusions people do not think any more, you can not trust these companies when it comes to payments or help, life insurance they will stop payments after your death if you did not declare some thing you did not know so why they call life insurance? Same as AA and RAC they will not remove your car if involved in a car accident does it makes any sense? I never bothered with them and I have saved over ?10,000 in the last few years.

              Look how many times in your entire life your car will get break down on motorway if you are very unlucky maybe once, any salvage company will tow your car to the nearest garage or to your destination from London to Glasgow for around ?250.00, so why bother?..
