Contacted by unknown accident claims company after accident. Advice please.

Hey BigPhil.

Yes of course i have considered dropping it & moving on. To be honest with you if this was just a total accident, maybe a supermarket bump where the other person got out & was like oh i'm really sorry that's my fault then with the value of the car, age etc i'd probably have just left it.

But the way i see it right now is why on earth should i let this idiot get away with what they did? The whole thing combined. The trying to take 4 cars at once with oncoming traffic. Ok if he was in a Bugatti Veyron or something that could've taken 40 cars in that space/timeframe but he was in a bloody pick up truck. It was never going to make it. Then he pulls in to me - i was the 2nd car so how was he ever going to make the third & fourth? Then he doesn't stop when he should.

The whole thing combined just has me like why should i let him get away with it? Why shouldn't i make sure his record is marked?

If he decides to not declare it for the next 3-5 years that he's been involved in an accident then that's his business. I hope he has to claim in that time & his insurance tell him to get lost because he never declared this accident.

Really the only thing that will stop me going ahead with this is if his insurance company tell me they don't/wont do buy backs & i'll lose my car. That's the only way i'll drop it.

I sent the email off today to firstly ask about their buy back policy & procedure. Gave them full details including photographs asking to communicate via email only (since it seems they source their call centre outside of the UK).

Yes i appreciate my record will also be marked for that same 3-5 year timeframe but it's too late now i'd already called my insurance asking questions about it so it'll be on their database. Even if it hadn't then i would take the hit (no pun intended) just to get this guy marked.
