My insurance has gone up because of a no fault accident - what can I do?

A car damaged my front bumper when it was parked without me in it. The other driver admitted fault and her insurance paid for all repairs. My insurance renewal had £30 added because of my ‘no fault accident'. I have challenged this and got nowhere. What can I do?

You need to reclaim this increase in premium from her insurers as a uninsured loss for the next five years. Use your legal assistance policy if you have it. Alternatively contact her insurer directly.
