Hi all,
I would be grateful if someone could offer me some advice please. I have received a letter from an legal firm acting on behalf of an insurance company that claims that my vehicle was involved in an accident back in April 2017. They have obtained my details from the DVLA and they are now wanting my insurance details. Neither I nor my vehicle were at the location on the date claimed, in fact I know 100% where I was on that day, and where the vehicle was too and so could provide witnesses as I was in a venue where their were many people, I may ask see if they still have the CCTV for the car park too, although because the alleged incident happened in April 2017 I doubt I will be able to obtain pubic camera evidence to prove where I was on the day. What is the best way to approach this please? Should I write them a letter, or call them and record the call. I was also going to ask them for proof or photos, what type of accident it was, time, what was the vehicle make, model and colour reported when the incident was reported etc? Is there anything I should request or mention - it now seems as if I have to prove my innocence because someone has either mistakenly or on purpose given my vehicle reg. The incident happened in London, I live in Kent. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide. |

Really? Send NIP or Summons to your insurers without responding?

Really? Send NIP or Summons to your insurers without responding? Yes, really! https://www.directline.com/lib/pdf/dl-car-p...cy-document.pdf Page 26, section 2. Just as well no-one reads these things! |
