I was in the biz and worked as an independent adjuster just like Mr. Lee in the article. Had about 20 different clients including Lloyds of London. About 10% of our clients did the same thing to us as they did with Mr. Lee. None of these companies were Lloyds. This type of adjusting will cause significant problems for the insurance company. In cases like this, homeowner should hire a public adjuster and/or a good lawyer who handles these type of cases. Bet that the insurance company is going to pay more than the original adjuster's estimate.
Many times I had to bite my tonque as some insurance companies altered reports/estimates without my knowledge.
