    what do i do about the letter saying he payed me then.. . but to tell you the realy truth he did do a runner or tryed to with the letter and not got a penny of him . wont he just say he payed me.. he scamed me good style

    Didn't you say the police were called?
    Why didn't you get the letter back off him then when they were there?
    Why did you sign for money not in your hand?

    yes the police did say he will have to go to court and me on a failure to stop

    Why would you have to go to court? You stopped & got witnesses didn't you?

    I agree, however insurance documents are (i believe) easy enough to forge, he could have got the insurance, waited for the documents then cancelled within the cooling off period

    Thats a worse case scenario of course

    Plus this insurance company hardly sounds as though they are on the ball with anything if they don't take something like this seriously

    Cab offices are very hot on this now, they would loose their license. My hubby is a cab driver, the amount of documentation is vast & they have to have MOTs on brand new cars, its not the fly by night trade of years gone by.

    Shall have to rethink the cab company i use then, most of the cars look and sound as if they're falling apart :rotfl:

    Lots of councils & carriage offices (but not all) have maximum ages now for cars for cabbing, regardless of if they pass an MOT.

    the police told me he did not give his details to the police station a fail to stop after he hit me. no matter what it should have been reported to the police station..in 24 hours./ like i did

    Yes but if someone damages your car & a witness says it was a cab/taxi, you can't assume the first Skoda/Galaxy/other pop make is the same one that hit yours.

    I was just puzzled as to why the OP started taking pics of that one?
    yes i got very lucky
