Reply to: HMRC are After Me!!!

I always carry a camera in glove compartment these days. If such an accident occurred I would certainly take photos before anyone came to sweep the guts up.

Never thought - I have a half decent camera phone as well!! I suppose I was in shock as well as this is the first time this has ever happened to me - might buy a disposable one to keep in the glovebox

Cheers

Ah! now I understand (Sweety) never mind, one day you can come out of the closeted lifestyle you lead and find a man of your very own

1. Always have legal cover from your insurance company - saves the hassle.

2. A recorded delivery letter to the third party with your intentions and solicitors name works wonders.

3. You'd be surprised at the number of 3rd parties that back down when you present them with legal action.

4. Plumbers, decorators, painters, electricians are cnuts. Always have this phrase in mind when hiring their services. You will not be disappointed.

1. Have the legal cover with house insurance as well as the car insurers

2 and 3. Might do that - although would have to put in the loss of revenue into the counter claim

3. No need to tell me about tradesmen - just coming to the end of a kitchen re-fit from hell

Yeah right!

Oi Threaded, one of your "Walter Brigade" has escaped and is playing on the computer again! Come and collect him, there's a good chap.

Sorry Churchill - those references are totally lost on me - some kind of in-joke is it?? I hope it was nothing personal

I also prefer to use would have instead of would've, easier to type for me being trained in the military where things like that were not allowed - oops - sorry - done it again

[lawrenso]

WTF?

It's not your problem. Let the insurance company sort it!

Btw, try learning the correct usage of "would've". It's the short form of "would have". There's a good boy.

Back to the original point, this sounds like a proper scam. The old hard to prove medical conditions, pretend neck brace etc.. I would be tempted to hire a private eye and get some good shots of her doing some gardening or going to the gym as more than likely she will be doing. Then a quick call to the local press.

Call me vindictive

I agree with the private eye option.

A good friend of mine used to be a private eye and frequently filmed whiplash "victims" doing heavy lifting, playing squash and even an amateur boxer who carried on sparring.

You could even sue her for a false claim.

That was within 5 minutes of the occurence of the accident. There will be no more conversations between her and me now so that is out of the question.

Fair enough. Anything said immediately after the accident by either party can't be used in court anyway due to the effects shock has on people.

I would be tempted to get someone else to spy on her if she lived nearby as Bagpuss said to see how injuried she is. Other then that I would leave it to the insurance company lawyers who will be doing their best to settle out of court.

Looks like I will be at Chester Station next week between 7 and 7.30 to try and find a witness! or ask the station if I can put a sign up looking for one - set up a temporary email address on the companies mail server for it..

And you didn't tape her?!

Next time tape her and write out a transcript of the telephone call. Sent the transcript to the lawyers but keep the tape safely.

The transcript can be used in court but the judge can't listen to the tape as it's illegal to tape someone without their knowledge. However the judge can listen to the tape to get the tone of voice used.
