It's my brothers girlfriend (Clare) who was the driver and my bother wants to find out what they should do. Clare was 7 months pregnant at the time and had no injuries at all.
Here is what my brother emailed me. Any help would be greatful!
About 3 years ago Clare hit a old woman from behind. Clare was at a roundabout, a woman in a ****ty old van was in front, this woman also had 2 yappy dogs up front with her. The woman pulled of then within seconds she stopped/stalled... Clare went when the woman went and Clare went into the back of her. Clare didnt even get in2 2nd gear it was that slow. Clares car had no damage at all but the womans back bumper had a slight dent in it. The old woman got out and went to Clare and asked if she was ok..etc.
The old woman had to have her van toed away cos it wouldnt "work" a police man came and said to Clare she can go cos no damage etc. Clare then checked and found out that her insurance ran out 2 weeks b4 hand, the insurance people didnt automatically renew it. so Clare went 2 the police station and told them, nothing came of it, no points on her license..etc.
A few weeks later we had a bill from the old woman and her husband asking for about £400 for cost of damage to bumper and saying that Clare damaged the vans engine, the vans engine was in the back, its a Chinese small van thing. We said no we are not paying that much because we dont believe the van is even worth that much, we offered around £150 but they wanted more. So we left it.
About a year later we had a letter from the woman's doctors or what eva saying they are goin2 check the old woman over for injuries from the bump! Now 3 years later we get a letter from the motor insurers bureau asking to recover expenses arising from the collision for £7,270!!! The letter says they want the cash in the next 14 days, failing to do this then they will commence proceedings for the sum due, together with a claim for all court fees, costs and interests.
I want to know if we have to pay this as we dont have this kind of money, we understand that we should pay for the damage but if she had injuries which she would no way in hell got from that small bump, do we have to pay for her compensation also?

This could be spun to say you were instructed to leave before all matters were resolved or something.
