all you have to do is send him the letter of demand. and generally he'll either lodge a claim with his insurance company or sort it out with you privately.jimmysan wrote:Criss......
i am so sorry to hear about your misfortune...
But sadly to say that i am having a similar situation to you at the moment, but less serious. Someone reversed into my car and damaged my front bumper. He gave me all his personal details and his insurance company name. I am holding a third party property with NRMA, i tried to ring them and explain the situation, but they said theres nothing to do with them. And then i tried to ring AMMI(his insurance company), they said they cant do anything without the claim form lodged by their client. WTF.......Then they asked me to write a letter of demand to their client. Bloody hell, its like totally his fault but i have to do all the work and have my car damaged.
Shall anyone can give out advice on what happen if that guy don't reply my calls and letter at all?
if not, keep calling him. keep hassling him, if that doesn't work follow up with a 2nd letter of demand, if that doesn't work threaten him with court action (if he loses, and he will, he'll have to cover the court costs as well, make sure he's aware of that)
if you have any more problems, PM me your address and i'll send you a neat little booklet all about what you should do when you are involved in a not at fault accident (from work... in a prepaid envelope that work is going to be paying for lol)
