When I moved to Nantes, I didn’t yet realize that a simple subscription would save my mental health on multiple occasions. At the time of my move, I signed up for legal assistance insurance, which helped me repeatedly.
Kevin, the Student Neighbor and His Famous Parties
Kevin was a student and held… let’s say, three to four parties per week. The problem? They always started at 2 a.m. Yes, you read that right, 2 a.m.
I was sleeping very poorly, constantly stressed, and my calls to the police — 40 to 45 in total over six months — had no effect.
In Poland, back when I was a student, the police would intervene quickly and issue fines. In Nantes? Well, you almost have to file a complaint against the police to get them to act.
My solution? I fled and found a new apartment. And that’s when I learned: legal assistance can protect you from this type of neighbor… and especially from the stress it causes!
At the time of my move, I signed up for legal assistance insurance, and believe me, this simple step would protect me from stress multiple times.
Poorly Installed Windows
When I replaced two windows in my apartment, the contractor did a terrible job: gaps between the walls and windows, pine wood to cover the mistakes… a total disaster. Thanks to legal assistance, we reached an amicable solution and recovered 60% of the initial bill.
The Neighbor’s Water Leak
One day, a leak from the upstairs neighbor destroyed my living room: wall, ceiling, and cornices. The insurance only wanted to cover part of the damage. Legal assistance stepped in, and I was reimbursed for all the necessary repairs.
The “Creative” Mechanic at Norauto
During a car service, a mechanic broke a drawer in my car. It can happen — we’re all human — but he tried to cover it up with tape… inside the drawer!
Coincidence or not, when I picked up my car and started the engine, the drawer opened by itself. That’s when I immediately understood the situation.
The manager explained that the mechanic “just tried to make sure the drawer stayed closed”… by putting tape inside the drawer. I felt like he was insulting my intelligence.
In the end, they agreed to replace the broken part, but… it has been out of stock for six months! That evening, I finally decided to contact my legal assistance to make sure justice is served and this story comes to an end.
