Right okay...so im here for advice again as this site was so good to me last time.
So story goes i was parked on tesco. and when i came out the car in front of me was awfully parked so i thought to check mine (id only had it delivered 5 days before so still precious) and sure enough its been hit. there are 3-4 marks on mine one of which tallied up perfect with a mark on the car in front. i waited for 50 minutes for the lady (an old lady) and approached her calmy to see if she noticed she had done it. At this point she went on off and a huge defensive panic telling me over how she couldnt have and how she checked her parking ect. she refused to swap details and at this request rang her daughter who came within minutes to back up her story telling me how she had seen her mum park and knew she hadnt touch mine.
She went on to tell me how the marks couldnt be made by her mums car and that i was probably just after a new bumper or something. (5 days old car remember) The daughter at this point told me she was a cop and dealt with RTA's all the time. and rang 999 to report me of accusing her mother of the incident (amusing in itself right?) they laughed her off the phone so she said no hes being aggressive and things. Honestly never been calmer in my life, i had her reg just would have prefered her details too. A passing officer attended, very irrate at his time being wasted and shouted at us both ( he was very rude but i suppose id have been angry too) he asked us to swap details and to stop wasting his time.
soooo.... im going to speak to my insurance monday morning, but are they going to do anything given
1 its my word against hers.
2 her daughter is offering herself as a witness
3 i didnt actually see it or have a witness despite it being obvious to anybody who saws the marks as the cars were parked.
Long post so i apologise if its not of relevance, but the cars 5 days old when it happened so im annoyed.
Thankyou to anybody who takes time to read or reply.
I appreciate the eforrt people put into this site
