Rover accident update
You may recall that back in August I was involved in a car accident. The third party, a canadian driving a rental car, drove into the back of my car. The back of my car was bent inward and eventually written-off by my insurance company.
My insurance company appointed an uninsured loss recovery company to help me claim back my policy excess. The ULR company contacted the rental company that the third party was using to make a claim. The rental car company contacted my ULR company yesterday to say:
“We do not accept liability for the accident since it was Mr Durrans who drove into the back of our vehicle”
Sounds like someone has got their wires crossed. Especially since it was my vehicle that has the rear damage, not theirs.
Looks like I might not be getting my policy excess back any time soon.

You clearly reversed into the poor Canadians at the roundabout, what were you thinking!?
Also, this sucks. eljay had a similar problem with his accident where they got things muddled up and told him he had to go on a driver training course or something after the other bloke drove into him. Luckily it was cleared up fairly quickly when he pointed out their error.
