don't think so, it was way back in 1999 when i was insured by said company, and then the claim was made in 2004 "because the other driver moved house and no one could find him"

included in the costs was the interest owed because of the time scale

as said, cunts

i'm sure i can find the original thread given time, but it just goes to show that "evidence" submitted on the day of the court case (because my solicitor said it was ok to add it as they walked through the door) even though it has no direct bearing to the case, still fucks you because the judge believed the other guy could see through 50 foot worth of brick wall on the underpass

he said he was in the underpass as i was joining the overpass slip road and he could see me as soon as i turned off the main road onto the slip road, through the 50 foot of brick wall and concrete etc and "observed me for 200 yards before i pulled out in front of him because i had slowed down to 50 mph as i was aware there was a speed camera up ahead and the other car was only doing 40 so i had no option but to hit him"

and "there were no cars that stopped to act as witnesses" even though he then produced 2 old ladies as witnesses

and this is in court, in front of a judge, who seemed to have made up his mind before he'd even looked at any of the actual factual evidence placed before him

to the OP, do NOT let them take the car from your house "for assessment" because it won't come back to you in the same condition, if at all
