Direct Line (DL) has confirmed it is reviewing its loss adjusting arrangement at the end of July this year.

A spokeswoman could not comment further, but sources suggest the insurer may be looking at a panel arrangement rather than retaining Capita McLarens as its sole provider. DL could not confirm or deny the rumour.

This would be a further blow to Capita McLarens which has suffered various exclusions from insurers' loss adjusting panels. This month, Lloyds TSB Insurance announced a panel including Cunningham Lindsey and GAB Robins. Out of the five loss adjusters applicants, Capita McLarens and The Davis Group failed to make the panel.

A Capita spokeswoman announced the company's disappointment that its "partnership of delivering loss adjusting expertise" was not being continued.

Last year, Capita McLarens also failed to make the grade for the Churchill, Liverpool Victoria and NFU Mutual loss adjusting panels.
