Never ending cars being hit….

[floatindolphin]

Hi all,

Another thread about one of my cars being hit….

1st was the C250 full smacked in the back on a slip road,

Then the E63 getting the rear quarter hit, then a fence panel hitting it while parked.

Latest….640D parked while I took my daughter swimming. Came back to a note on the screen “sorry I reversed into your drivers door” with phone number

The door doesn’t line up with wing anymore and is slightly creased (the door hinge behind the out skin pressing through?)

What’s the best way to go about getting it sorted? She replied to my message, I now have her car details. Do I give her mine then get quotes which she sorts with her insurance?

The E63 accidents were paid in cash for repairs. Don’t want to do it wrong if through insurance



Edit: zoom in and you can see the door/wing gap difference




She never made it into, Show us your motors






Edit 2: bit better picture of damage, doesn’t look much but probably a pain to fix.

Get her insurance details, ring her insurer to pursue claim.

Then ring your insurer, let them know that your car has been involved in an incident but that you are claiming via the 3rd party, and this is for info only.

 

[floatindolphin]

Ah nice one, will ask for insurance details, thanks for the heads up

Fair play to her for stopping and leaving her details.

Due to the lack of “scrape” I would imagine most would have just done one in hope you didn’t notice long enough for you not to be able to track when or where it happened.

My insurance refused to insure me after a 'this is for info only' incident.

Yeah, I'm thinking there may have been a few people around. It was right outside a sport centre.

she replied earlier saying she's out til late tonight and she'll send me all her details tomorrow...


If she suddenly goes radio silent, can I pursue anything with just her number plate and 1st name/phone number?

Yes, the police should be quite interested.

But they would definitely have refused to insure you if they found out (e.g. from the 3rd parties insurer) about an incident that hadn't been mentioned.

No doubt, just pointing out that it has consequences either way.

I keep getting excuses for her not sending her insurance details across. What should I do if I hear nothing by the EOD?


and now another excuse! details by 6:30 this evening....


I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt for now....

Get your insurer to pursue, you've got the messages as proof she's at fault let them do what you pay them for.

 

[floatindolphin]

Yeah, I’ll give her til half six, then phone my insurance.


This is the 4th time in 2 years my cars have been damaged, non fault

 

[floatindolphin]

Spoke to my insurance company earlier, they're gonna chase it up.

Her latest excuse, she couldn't find her insurance docs...

 

[Semple]

Definitely been evasive by only providing her first name. I wouldn't have thought you'd need her insurance details, just whomever she's insured with and then her full name.

Something doesn't sound right with this one.

 

[floatindolphin]

Yeah, something fishy for sure! I just hope she gave me her reg plate!

I've got messages where she's apologizing for hitting my car, so I guess she's dropped herself in it that way.

Wouldn't even give me her 2nd name...

I would say its not looking hopeful unless have her reg? Police won't get involved as happened on private land and will say its a civil matter

Had something similar in the past

 

[tom_e]

For some reason I assumed you had her reg, may be a bit of a lost cause if that's not been provided.

If you ask the sports centre nicely, they might review the CCTV footage and supply you with the registration, and ask them to save it as evidence of the incident if the insurance request it. You might have to show them the text messages to prove you are not just a mad stalker however.

Looks like it's all being sorted now. Headache (just about) over!
