hi guys, about 3 weeks ago i was going to pick a friend up from his house. i drove down his street, reversed down the side of another car and paralell parked next to it.
about 3 minuits later i had a woman knock on my window, so i put my window down and asked her what was up. she said to me "excuse me but u have just hit my car" to my shock i said "eh are you sure?" and she said yes i just watched u reverse down and hit my car then park infront of it.
so i jumped out the car walked round to her car to see a scratch about 3inch long down the side of her old fiesta. i then walked to my car and could not see a single dent scratch, or even where some muck had been moved.
i asked the woman again if she was sure, because i have parking sensors and i would of surley noticed, but she replyed yes.
at this moment my friend walked out of his house asked if everything was alright and it turned out that it was his auntie and mother that where speaking to me!
we all discussed it and i said to the woman, sorry i didnt even notice i cant even be sure that it was even me, i offered to giv her my number and details but she just replyed with a "hump" so i said sorry again and me and my friend drove off.
about 2 weeks later i went round to my friends house again and she was there, she explained how she was buying some polish that would apartly clear the scratch up but i didnt really reply as i was both embarased + thought theres no chance some polish is going to remove a scratch...
anyway about a week ago my friend warned me that his auntie has been trying to get my number so she can get intouch with me but he wasnt in the position to give her it, then last night i received a text explainging that she had been to the ford garage and had a quote on getting the dammage repaired. i ignored the text for the time been and talked to my friend asking what had changed within 3 weeks.
he explained that he had no idea how she had got my number and that it was insain that 3 weeks down the line after not wanting to do anything that she would do this now. he also said he had discussed with her that if it had happened at say the super market, she wouldnt beable to get intouch with me now, only because its his friend can she do this.
anyway she sent me another text about a hour later saying that she "requied my car and insurence details because she needs to sort this sooner rather then later, and that she can rather send me a written estimate or agree a cash settlement"
im just wondering where i stand on this? can she do this 3-4 weeks later, when there is no proof that i actually hit her car at all and the only witnesses where herself and friend. also after she has aggreed on the spot that nothing would come of it?
just wanting some advice really as t seems this woman is going to try charge me the earth to repair the paint on her car that someone else could of done.
cheers, josh
