Received a claim? Yes:
Issue Date: 19-04
Have you Acknowledged the Claim?:Yes
Total Amount Claimed : 6700
Claimant’s Name: Mrs Watson
Solicitors Firm: None
Original Creditor:
Original Debt Car accident reported to insurance
Particulars of Claim: The Claimant claims damages arising from an accident on 08/10/2022 resulting from the negligence of the defendant. I have complied with section 3 and 4 of the pre action protocol.
Is the debt Statute Barred No:
List any letters you have sent (eg: CCA/ CPR ): Phone contact with my insurance company awaiting reply
Any Other Information or Background Details: Details exchanged Accident was reported to Insurance, my car was repaired by my insurance nothing further heard, nothing received from Claimant at any time until now.
I have spoken to the insurance who are going to get back to me within 48 hours, It appears that the Claimant didn't go through the insurance, now 18 months on has decided to claim from the driver.
Has anyone had any experience of this?
My view is that the driver is not liable to pay for the 3rd party repairs just because they failed to correctly follow the insurance procedure.
Whilst I hope that my insurance will take this over I still need to file a defence. Is there a legal phrase that I can put in defence saying not my problem they didn't follow procedure to repair their car?
