Because someone else wrote "They need two peices of evidence to take someone to court".

AFAIK that's not the case in E & W.

Nor in Scotland.

I presume the other poster meant a TRO and evidence of the breach.

Scottish law requires corroboration not two pieces of evidence. That means evidence from two different and independent sources. Unless the single source is considered to be an expert witness.

When a lawyer told me years ago he explained it as two pieces of evidence; no doubt for my layman ears.

It sounds as thought he meant what is written above

This type of claim carries a lot of uninsured losses as its a fault claim if you are shunted forward.
There can be several thousands of pounds of uninsured losses, increased premiums over years.
A claims company can help get some of it back.

Forget the phone bit, the real battle ahead is getting what you lose back.
Focusing on that now will help.
