You would need to use your legal assistance. If you have motor legal protection, your insurer, admission of liability. may well do it for you. Alternatively, if you have used an accident management company or credit hire hire company, they will do it for you,or you can contact the at fault insurer directly and request from them. Last resort, small claims court.
