Garage car park bump.. not my fault! - noclue.com
HI

Someone hit my poor little 1.4 astra tonight as i was leaving my local co-op petrol station.. i was going to the left and looked to the right and nothing went to turn and bam a women drove into my front near bumper.. she got out and said sorry i was at fault i didnt see you as i was watching another car reverse..

I put the claim in and now she said to them she is not accepting liability?? and my husband was a witness and we had another witness give us her details but she seemed to side with the women?? but i just recently changed my car insurance to 3rd party as the cars only worth 500.0 and didnt seem worth fully comp any more..??

help what can i do???

Lou

Yep get the cctv.

But I dont understand what you mean about the accident? How did someone drive into the front of your car when you were turning left and there was nothing coming from the right?

Was she turning into the petrol station?

Was this person reversing out of a parking space by any chance?

Along to your solicitor - sharply worded letter pointing out they are to blame and this will be added to by the cost of any further Legal bill and Court Costs.

the threat of a court hearing will bring her to her senses.

I had a simlar experince yaesr ago - woman ran up the back of the car behind me and it bumped into me. She admitted liability and recanted after speaking to the boyfriend. Court date was set and she remembered her culpability!
