seems to me that this insurance claim is behaving like a see-saw.
I got a court letter through this morning detailing how much they are claiming against me, and get this:
Excess & Repairs: £250 (ish)
Court Costs: £120
Hire Car Cost £1100 (ish)
They had the hire car for 25 days for f**ks sake! What did they do, make the panels from ore or summit?!?!?!?!
It's in the hands of my insurers now, but there could be a problem.
They are submitting evidence from the woman involved in the accident, and from her husband, who was not there at the accident. He was however at home when i went round to talk insurance details and the possibility of settling outside of the insurance company (as at the time i thought i was in the wrong, but later transpired that i wasn't), and he was telling me that i had accepted liability at the scene, and again there, but i had someone with me that knows that was not the case (at their house this is, not the accident).
So basically, i think the judge is gonna rule against me coz of the fact that i tried to settle outside the insurance company first, believing it to have been my fault. My insurance company on teh other hand are a bit more optimistic, and think that i have a good chance of winning this.
Can't believe the way that the third party and their insurers are behaving, they are trying to make me look like some kind of wowwypop that doesn't know how to drive and doesnt know what he's said. :megaangry:
This has made my day a real shi**y one. I really hope i win, or at least go knock for knock, so i can wipe the smiles off their faces.
Rant over. :D
