Hi Guys,
Basically on 21/05/2014 I was in slow moving traffic and slowly "edged" and I mean "edged" into the car in front of me.
When we both got out it was literally number plate to number plate and not even a single scratch on her car.
She agreed with me that there was no damage and that she wasn't going to do anything about it, at this point I didn't even think it necessary to take pictures and I was already late for a client so I drove off.
About a 6 weeks later my insurance company called and told me there had been a claim against me.
This was the only thing I could think of.
I rang her (as we exchanged details anyway) and she said her boot wasn't opening when she got home and she now has whiplash.
This 100% cannot be correct from the speed I bumped into her at.
My insurance company then told me her whole back bumper is damaged and all the metal framework inside is ruined.
This cannot be true and I think it is a "crash for cash" or just someone trying to haggle some money out of me....
My insurance were going to pursue it but when the whiplash was filed apparently there wasn't much more they could do because how can you prove whiplash?!
Any help would be muchly appreciated as my insurance premiums have soared! and my NCD gone....
Thanks in advance guys.
